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
Advanced materials for catalysis and metamaterials
In this project you will explore the fabrication of advanced materials for both catalysis and optical metamaterial applications. The 3D nanostructuring of materials such as metals has been established as a versatile route to new functional materials with enhanced electronic, optical and catalytic activity. Read more
A bottom-up flow approach to 2D inorganic materials
The transformational discovery of graphene in the mid-2000s has resulted in huge interest in two-dimensional materials. Other 2D materials, based on elements such as phosphorus offer exciting improvements over graphene, due to different structure and therefore electronic properties. Read more
Modelling the dynamics of surfactant-laden droplets for sustainable design of emulsions
Background. Emulsions, which consist of dispersed droplets of one liquid in another immiscible liquid, are critical components in a wide range of applications, from personal care products and pharmaceuticals to food, agrochemicals, and lubricants. Read more

Research Group:
CDT in Green Industrial Futures
This advert will close once a suitable candidate has been found. This PhD is one of a number of projects hosted by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF). Read more
Unlocking biocatalysts to synthesise new pharmaceutical modalities: Repurposing and engineering enzymes for amide synthesis and bioconjugation chemistry
About the Project. A fully funded PhD studentship (3.5 years) is available in the Schnepel Lab, Department of Chemistry, Durham University. Read more
Fluorescent peptide/protein biosensors for imaging of inflammatory bowel diseases
This project is one of 17 four year PhD Studentships funded by Medical Research Scotland (MRS) (https://www.medicalresearchscotland.org.uk) to be delivered jointly by the named University and External Partner Organisation (EPO). Read more
Utilisation of captured CO2 as a sustainable feedstock for chemicals production using microwave-assisted plasmolysis coupled with downstream gas separation
This advert will close once a suitable candidate has been found. This PhD is one of a number of projects hosted by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF). Read more
Chemical origins of biological catalysis on early Earth
The chemical origin of life is one of the greatest unanswered questions in the natural sciences. how did life start on early Earth several billions of years ago? The short answer is we do not know yet. Read more
Application of FFLUX to crystal-structure prediction: towards efficient and accurate pharmaceutical polymorph screening
Molecular crystals are found in many consumer products, but predicting polymorphism, where a molecule can pack into multiple crystal forms with different physical properties, is a crucial unsolved problem. Read more
Water-neutral and zero-waste oligonucleotides manufacturing for a sustainable pharmaceutical industry - PhD
This exciting fully funded PhD is developed with the global pharmaceutical manufacturer GSK and has an enhanced stipend of £24,000 per annum. Read more
Holistic Environmental Impacts and Dynamic Carbon Modelling in Construction Materials
Applications are invited for a PhD Studentship funded by the Sustainability Research Institute (SRI) at the University of East London in collaboration with AKT-II. Read more
PhD in Electronic and Electrical Engineering - MEMS Gravity Gradiometers
Start date. 01 October 2025. Glasgow has pioneered the use of MEMS devices for the measurement of gravity after demonstrating the first gravimeter that could measure the Earth tides (the gravitational force of the moon orbiting the earth) using a MEMS devices [1][2]. Read more
PhD in Electronics and Electrical Engineering - Guiding and Trapping Cold Atoms using Photonic Integrated Circuits
Start date. 01 October 2025 (flexible). Cold atoms are produced by shining laser light of specific wavelengths onto atoms so that the momentum of the absorbed photons slows the atoms. Read more
Accelerating reaction discovery using innovative PGM catalyst systems
Background. Organic compounds undergo an eclectic array of reactions with PGM catalysts. The discovery of new reactions catalysed by PGMs is a labour-intensive process. Read more
