We have 19 Other (sustainability) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Developing a framework for regulatory conformance of innovative experimental nuclear reactor

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are a next-generation nuclear reactor technology outlined by Generation IV International Forum, fulfilling sustainability, economics, safety, and proliferation resistance goals. Read more

Funded PhD Studentships in Negative Emissions Technologies for Net Zero (NET2ZERO)

Engineered removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is one way of helping to meet our decarbonisation and climate change commitments. Read more

Discovery of new sustainable permanent magnets for electric motors and generators

High-performance permanent magnets are needed for electric motors and generators which are essential for the decarbonisation of transport (land, sea and air) and energy generation (>25% of UK electricity comes from wind-turbines). Read more

Fully funded PhD Scholarship in Memristive Technologies

Duration of study. Full time - 4 years fixed term. Starting date. Flexible, available from December 2023. Application deadline. No closing date, the position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found. Read more

The effect of General Relativity on super-Eddington accretion

Supervisory Team:  Dr Matthew Middleton. Project description. Compact objects (neutron stars and black holes) can accrete material through a disc which is bright across the EM spectrum. Read more

Resolving the unresolvable: using lenses to map accretion onto black holes and neutron stars

Supervisory Team: Dr Matthew Middleton. Project description. White dwarfs located in the halo of Andromeda (M31) are expected to lens some of the 100s of X-ray bright, accreting compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) located in that galaxy. Read more

Hidden black holes and the search for self-lensing binaries

Supervisory Team: Dr Matthew Middleton. Project description. Binary systems containing high mass stars evolve through a number of stages, and in many cases can appear as a black hole or neutron star orbiting at a large distance from a ‘normal’ companion star. Read more
