  (STFC DTP) Investigating the water and volatile inventory of unequilibrated ordinary chrondrites
University of Manchester School of Earth and Environmental Sciences
  Research Group: Isotope Geochemistry & Planetary Science
  Dr R Tartese, Dr R Jones
Application Deadline: 11 February 2019
Introduction. One of the vital ingredients that allowed the emergence of life on the Earth is liquid water. Therefore,understanding the origin(s) of Solar System water, together with other volatile species, is of primaryimportance for the study of life in the universe.

  High-precision studies of eclipsing binary stars observed using space telescopes
Keele University Faculty of Natural Sciences
  Dr JK Taylor
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
The study of eclipsing binary star systems is one of the most mature and rewarding areas of stellar physics, offering the unique opportunity to determine the masses and radii of distant stars directly from observational data.

  The dynamics of jets in rapidly rotating fluids by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation
University of Leeds School of Earth & Environment
  Dr P Livermore, Prof R Hollerbach
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
The movement of electrically conducting liquid inside the core of Earth and other planets is responsible for generating their planetary magnetic fields, yet we know very little about their dynamics, as creating realistic simulations is extremely challenging.
