nature PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 337 nature PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Leverhulme Doctoral School in Nature Inspired Acoustics – Sensors & Devices
Acoustics broadly involves sound waves and mechanical vibrations, and they have diverse applications in science and technology that can impact society at multiple levels from energy management to business. Read more
Nature-Based Solutions for Mitigating Landslide Hazard
Landslides, particularly long-runout landslides like debris flows, pose a significant and often devastating threat to communities worldwide. Read more
Design of microflyers for environmental monitoring
In the next decade, distributed sensor network systems made of small flying sensors, from dust-scale to insect-scale, will enable a step change in monitoring natural disasters and remote areas. Read more
Nature-Inspired and Art-Based Design for 3D-Printed Structures in Sustainable Engineering Applications
The intersection of nature-inspired design and artistic principles with advanced 3D printing technologies offers a transformative approach to engineering applications. Read more
Chemical Biology of the Genome and the Epigenome
We invite applications from creative and enthusiastic individuals interested in joining Professor Sir Shankar Balasubramanian’s group for a 4-year PhD studentship, working on a multidisciplinary project exploiting both chemistry and biology to explore fundamental mechanisms of genome function (http://www.balasubramanian.co.uk).
