Environmental fate of radioactive ‘hot particles’ in marine and terrestrial systems: A biogeochemical study
Objectives. Develop an understanding of how nuclear fuel ‘hot particles’ degrade in marine and terrestrial environments. Utilise a range of advanced analysis techniques to study fuel particles, both synthetic (produced in the lab) and genuine (collected from the field). Read more

Geochemical Controls on Radionuclide Transport and Fate in Sedimentary Rock – A combined experimental and modelling study
Context. The UK has been generating electricity from nuclear power for over sixty years. Consequently, the safe disposal of the UK’s existing ~750,000 m3 of radioactive waste is a clear priority. Read more

Development of NMR Methods for the Study of Dynamics in Solids
One fully funded PhD studentship is available in the area of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of solids. The position is available for 42-months starting in October 2024. Read more
How do atypical E3 ligases facilitate their biology?
The covalent attachment of the small protein ubiquitin to substrates regulates virtually all cellular processes and its modulation with small molecules is set to revolutionise modern medicine. Read more
Char Morphology and Chemistry – The Key to Good Whisky
This PhD opportunity will primarily be based at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. Please contact Prof Martin McCoustra (m.r.s.mccoustra@hw.ac.uk) for further details. Read more
Path to Net-Zero: Designing Cutting-Edge Electrocatalytic Systems for Sustainable Ammonia Synthesis
Ammonia (NH3) is a crucial chemical for modern society, serving as a high-value product and a carbon-free, efficient energy carrier. Read more
The role of the microbiome on coral heat tolerance
Global warming presents an unprecedented challenge to one of the world’s most iconic ecosystems, coral reefs. Scleractinian (stony) corals, the primary architects of warm water reefs, are in steep decline due to rising ocean temperatures. Read more
Selective Extraction of Radiotherapeutic Metals for Targeted Alpha Cancer Therapy
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear fission produces radioactive isotopes that are considered as waste and are currently disposed. Read more
Chemistry: EPSRC DTP Funded PhD Scholarship: The effect of rotational polarisation on gas-surface reactivity
Funding provider(s): EPSRC DTP . Subject area(s): Molecular beams, Surface science, Quantum-state resolved collisions . Read more
Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
Chlorination of water supplies has been responsible for saving millions of lives previously lost to diseases such as cholera and typhoid since it was introduced in 1908. Read more
Source-specific quantification of ammonia emissions
Background. Ammonia (NH3) has an ever-growing influence on air pollution in the UK and worldwide with numerous considerable impacts such as the formation of secondary particles and nitrogen deposition. Read more
A study in the chemical degradation/stability of cannabinoids in cannabis materials
This fully funded study with the FORRI institute at LJMU aims to assess impact of a range of conditions on the degradation of THC and additional cannabinoids’ stability in cannabis materials. Read more
PhD in Direct Air Capture (DAC) Technologies
In addition to substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, humanity needs to remove a large amount of carbon dioxide, CO2, from the atmosphere to meet agreed climate targets. Read more

Development of spectroscopic methods for the investigation of chiral ligands
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) – The Research University in the Helmholtz Association creates and imparts knowledge for the society and the environment. Read more
Molecular dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins in health and disease
Proteins are long polymer chains consisting of twenty different amino-acids. Their sequence determines in what ordered structures the proteins fold. Read more
