Last chance to apply

Binks Institute for Sustainability: Risk and sustainability dimensions of renewable energy infrastructure in the UK and Ireland in a changing climate

The transition from the primary reliance on exhaustible fossil fuel energy sources to renewable energy sources - decarbonisation of energy production - is an essential element of the government pledge to achieve Net Zero by 2050. Read more

Decarbonisation of the Food System

As the world transitions to a low carbon economic system, dramatic changes will be required across the all sectors. The food system, which is currently estimated to be responsible for 20-30% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is one where particular urgency is required. Read more

Binks Institute for Sustainability: Improving the Reliability and Economy of Anchors for Floating Offshore Wind Energy

As a part of efforts to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the UK offshore wind turbine capacity had reached 13.7 GW by 2022, but a higher growth rate is required to meet the target of 50 GW of installed capacity by 2030. Read more

Economic and environmental assessment of energy systems integration for increased utilisation and reduced curtailment of offshore wind farms

This Research Project is part of the EPSRC CDT in Offshore Wind Energy Resilience and Sustainability’s Energy Economics Cluster. The CDT is a partnership between Hull, Durham, Loughborough and Sheffield universities, along with over 40 industry partners. Read more

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

Biodiversity and solar farms: risks and opportunities Ref: 5099

Location: The academic supervisors are based at the University of Exeter’s Cornwall Campus in Penryn, Cornwall, and field work will be undertaken in South-East England – the balance between time spent at each location will be discussed at offer stage and during the project. . Read more

Net zero housing retrofits - assuring a sustainable low-carbon transition in the domestic sector

The UK has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The UK's 29 million houses represent 14% of total emissions (CCC, 2019), with nearly 90% of these built more than 20 years ago before stricter energy efficiency standards came into force (Ince & Marvin, 2019). Read more

Wave devouring propulsion for marine decarbonisation PhD

This exciting fully funded PhD is sponsored by EPSRC, with an enhanced stipend of £20,000 per annum (with fees covered). This project will develop the new technology for wave-based thrust harvesting for various floating platforms for marine decarbonisation. . Read more

Design of Superconducting Electric Machines for Zero Emission Transport

The Institute for Energy Systems, School of Engineering, at the University of Edinburgh, is inviting applications for the following fully-funded PhD project, expected to commence on 1st September 2024. Read more

A Superconducting Brushless Exciter for High-power Density Electrical Machines

Background. The ability of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials to carry large current densities with little or no resistance makes them attractive for providing large rotor magnetic fields in high-power density superconducting electrical machines. Read more

Harnessing waste-heat from challenging environments with flexible electronics, sponsored by BAE Systems

Supervisory Team. Dr Katrina Morgan, Dr Ioannis Zeimpekis, Prof Nick Harris, Prof Steve Beeby. Project description. This PhD is a sought after industrial Cooperative Award in Science and Techology (iCASE), with sponsorship from BAE Systems Ltd. Read more
