Consumer Characterisation of Future Foods and the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) approach
3.5 Year Fully Funded PhD Scholarship in New Zealand starting in 2025. Consumer Characterisation of Future Foods and the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) approach. Read more
PhDs in Hospitality, Tourism, Events, Food & Nutrition
Sheffield Business School. Sheffield Business School (SBS) is accredited by the AACSB, placing us within the top 5% of business schools globally. Read more
Bio-inspired Smart Skin for Enhanced Multi-stimuli Detection in Healthcare and Robotics
We are seeking a motivated PhD candidate to develop bio-inspired smart skin that emulates the remarkable sensory abilities of human skin. Read more
Scent of Emotion: Investigating cross-modal associations between smell, sound, and vision and their impact on emotional processing across the lifespan
Multisensory experiences are an intrinsic part of how we perceive the world around us, with smells having a particularly strong ability to trigger emotions and vivid memories. Smells are deeply connected to memory and emotion, often eliciting feelings that appear instantly and unconsciously. Read more
Inverse problems in sensory biology
The project. Insects explore the world using a variety of senses – vision, hearing, olfaction (smell), touch, taste and more. Read more
Funded PhD- E.N.A.B.L.E. - Embracing Neurodiversity through Accessible Built Learning Environments
People are embodied beings within a physical environment who experience the world around them exclusively through their senses. Yet, we rarely consider the impact of our sensory environments on our behaviour. Read more
Collective morphodynamics in the central nervous system
We are seeking PhD candidates who are passionate about exploring scientific questions at the intersection of physics, biology, and data science to join our new research team in “Physics of Life” at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Sheffield. Read more
Characterisation of a novel molecular temperature receptor
Painful stimuli are detected and processed at the level of the primary sensory nerve, which is the first in a chain of nerves that deliver information of potential environmental harm to the brain. Read more
(Bicentenary) Integration of sensation and action in the somatosensory cortex of freely moving mice: Interdisciplinary investigation through computer vision, machine learning and electrophysiology
Despite the fact that the brain’s sensory systems evolved to solve computational challenges that animals face during free movement in their natural environments, almost all previous research on sensory function has come from experiments where animals are immobilized. Read more
Advanced Proprioception for Robotic Legs
Humans are complex mechanical systems of interconnected bodies with a high degree of freedom (DOF). Our inner structures/bodies have naturally evolved with advanced proprioception and control, enabling us to perform a wide range of actions/movements, such as running, walking, sitting, and jumping.

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Targeting neural–stromal crosstalk in cancer
Growing evidence indicates that neural mediators play a role in cancer progression [1]. Our recent work demonstrates significant crosstalk between sensory neurons, cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF). Read more
Development of Plant-Derived Polymers to Enhance Taste and Lubrication in Plant-Based Food Products
This PhD project aims to develop plant-derived polymers and proteins that enhance the sensory qualities, particularly the taste and mouthfeel, of plant-based food products. Read more
Visual and auditory integration for spatial representation
Primary Supervisor: Dr Guifen Chen. Co-Supervisor(s): Prof Andrea Benucci. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Read more
How to build a motile cilium?
Cilia and flagella are cellular appendages found from protozoa to animals, responsible for their motility and sensory functions. Read more
Multistack Resistive Random-Access Memories for Optoelectronic Applications
The Centre for Electronics Frontiers (CEF) led by Regius Chair of Engineering Prof Prodromakis, brings together diverse and interdisciplinary expertise for transforming modern society through technology. Read more
