Biomechanical analysis of additively manufactured interbody fusion devices (spinal cages)
Interbody fusion devices, or spinal cages, are implants inserted between two or more vertebrae and designed to encourage bone growth, or fusion, between them. Read more
Multi-body Hypersonic Aerodynamics PhD
This is a full funded PhD (fees and bursary) in hypersonic aerodynamics in collaboration with EPSRC. The overall aim of the research is to investigate what are the aerodynamic interference characteristics, at hypersonic speeds, that are likely to adversely affect multibody separation. Read more
Predicting dense granular flow dynamics in complex environments
Solid particles dispersed in a liquid phase at high concentrations (dense) are encountered ubiquitously in industry, found in products ranging from cement and ceramic pastes to slurries for battery and solar panel manufacturing and foods; and in nature, such as mud flows, submarine landslides.

Exciting Funded PhD: Durability of Seals for High-Pressure H2 Generation, Storage & Use - Shape The Future Of Clean Energy!
The University of Sheffield's Leonardo Centre, a world-leader in tribology, is seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated PhD student to join a collaborative project funded by John Crane Ltd, one of the world’s leading providers of engineered technology. Read more
PhD Position in Computational and Experimental Mechanobiology (Cancer)
Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time, fully-funded position that will investigate the mechanobiology of tumour growth and therapy resistance. Read more
Last chance to apply
Multi materials additive manufacturing for ship building application
Zero-emission shipping transition is greatly restricted by the design and manufacture of light weight, cost effective, and high performing reliable materials structures in marine environment. Read more
Three-dimensional hybrid composites for repair and recycling PhD
This PhD research opportunity focuses on the development of self-healing three-dimensional metal-composite hybrid materials. These will use through-thickness reinforcement to embed metallic elements, acting as a means of targeted heat introduction, to activate re-processable matrices like thermoplastics or vitrimers. Read more
Sustainable product life cycle and avoidance of Hazardous materials for electrical motors and gears
One third of useful energy is lost within the interacting systems due to friction. The economic costs of these losses are in billions of pounds in GDP. Read more
Investigation of Railway Studs and Squats
The research seeks to develop a generalised validated mathematical model for rail studs, and in particular to examine how this mechanism differs from that for rail squats. Read more
Mathematical Modelling of High Energy Density Laser-Substrate Interactions
The project is to contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MOD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security, and this project will be co-funded by MBDA. Read more
Electro-mechanical Modelling and Control of Wave Energy Converters using MEGA-PTO
EU Consortium. MEGA-PTO is an EU flagship project, one of only two funded in the EU Wave Power Take-Off (PTO) Call, involving 12 partners, all world-leading in their own areas of expertise, including 3 wave device developers, Mocean Energy, CETO and PureMarine. Read more
Design and development of a new tidal energy station in Poole Harbour to utilise potential energy available within this natural resource.
To create a new tidal energy station in Poole Harbour by utilising potential energy available within this natural resource. The project is designed to have a minimal impact on the surrounding environment, be scalable and readily deployable and, at a minimum, provide a sustainable capacity of up to 150kWh. Read more
Optimization of Superconducting Devices by Mean of Quantum Field Theories
Who can apply? Australian Citizens & Permanent Residents New Zealand Citizens Citizens of countries within the Five Eyes Alliance (FVEY). Read more
Combined multi-scale modelling and experimental studies of polymer nanocomposites used in subsea connectors – Industrial CASE Studentship
This PhD opportunity will be based at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. Please contact Prof David Bucknall (David.bucknall@hw.ac.uk) for further details. Read more
