How does energy efficiency affect indoor air quality?
This is one of 3 potential projects (other 2 listed below) of which we can fund 2. We encourage all interested candidates to contact the individual supervisors for an informal discussion before a formal application, and to refer to more details on the projects. Read more
Investigating the Impact of Warmer UK Summers on Urban VOC Concentrations and Air Quality
This PhD project aims to evaluate how projected increases in summer temperatures, driven by anthropogenic climate change, will influence volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in the UK and their role in shaping future urban air quality. Read more
Investigating molecular determinants of cellular fate driven by air pollutants
Air pollution is a critical global issue with severe consequences for the environment, economy, and human health. 99% of the world’s population lives in areas where air pollution exceeds WHO guidelines, leading to accelerated ageing, increased mortality, and decreased health span [1,2,3]. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Reduced nitrogen in the atmosphere – how changes in agriculture and energy supply could future impact air quality and ecosystems
Reduced nitrogen is used extensively as a fertilizer. It is applied either as ammonium or urea, which is rapidly hydrolysed biologically by naturally… Read more
GIF CDT: A Novel Gas/Liquid contactor for Direct Air Capture and industrial CO2 capture technologies
The Green Industrial Futures Centre for Doctoral Training (GIF CDT) is inviting applications for the following project. This advert will close when a suitable candidate is identified, so early application is encouraged. Read more
Development of Perovskite-Based Solid Oxygen Carriers Towards Clean Air and Carbon Neutrality
The Industry and Innovation Research Institute (I2Ri) draws on talents, expertise and facilities across Sheffield Hallam University. Read more
Ammonia futures – the changing face of atmospheric nitrogen emissions
Introduction. Air pollution is the greatest environmental threat to human health, and impacts biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Read more
University of Bath URSA project: BREATHE: Development of bio-compatible adhesives for lung tissue repair
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more

Numerical study of the explosion characteristics and potential mitigation measures of ammonia in air
The Internal Energy Agency (IEA) considers ammonia (NH3) key to decarbonising shipping. A new report from the IEA believes it will be ammonia, not methanol, that must play a major role if shipping is to meet its ambitious emissions reductions targets. Read more
MAX-FOX – Maximising f-element oxidation states
A European Research Council (ERC) funded PhD studentship is available for an aspiring scientist to undertake research in the field of synthetic f-element chemistry. Read more
Exploring the size-resolved toxicological properties of aerosols
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship starting in Autumn 2025 as part of the EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science. Project description. Read more
Control of Relaxation Times in Rare Earth Single-Molecule Magnets and Qubits
An EPSRC DTG-sponsored PhD studentship is available for an outstanding and ambitious chemist to undertake research in the field of synthetic inorganic chemistry in a collaborative project between three research groups at Manchester Chemistry. Read more
COCO-VOC studentship: Sniffing organic gases emitted from atmospheric particulates and understanding their importance
Scientific background. The surface oceans are both a source and sink of a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In the marine atmosphere, these gases react with hydroxyl radicals (OH) and determine the reactivity of the atmosphere. Read more
Portable thermal energy storage for localised cooling in offices
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Personal Cooling is becoming a health requirement in offices and other work places as climate change impacts ambient summer temperatures leading to higher internal temperatures in buildings than originally predicted during its design and construction. Read more
Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy of Photochemical Dynamics
Fully funded 3.5 year PhD studentships are available to start in September 2025 in the Orr-Ewing research group and the Oliver research group in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol. Read more
