EPSRC CDT in Superconductivity: Enabling Transformative Technologies
The EPSRC CDT in Superconductivity is a 4-year research and training programme leading to a PhD/DPhil in the subject area of superconductivity. Read more
Single molecule science: new experimental approaches to measuring the charge, size and 3D conformation of single biomolecules in solution
Prof. Madhavi Krishnan's group is looking for bright, highly motivated and committed students for PhD research in the broad area of single molecule biophysics and nanoscience. Read more
High-precision seismology to understand slow earthquakes
Slow earthquakes remain one of the most important unexplained phenomena in fault mechanics. These ruptures are now routinely observed all over the world, often right next to or below large megathrust earthquakes. Read more
Granular dilatancy and the mechanics of faults
Many faults that generate earthquakes are clogged with water-saturated gouge. This granular medium likely plays a role in the fault’s response to stress. Read more
From dislocations to subduction: the microphysics of olivine deformation and its geodynamic implications
The dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle convection are inseparably coupled. Rigid oceanic plates are made from the same material as the ductile mantle below, but are much colder. Read more
Understanding the Role of Land-Atmosphere Interactions for Extreme Tropical Thunderstorms
PhD-Awarding Institution. University of Bristol , School of Geographical Sciences. Supervision Lead Institution. UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH). Read more
DPhil studentship in Inorganic Chemistry: Towards gallium oxide thin film based electronic devices
Applications are invited for a DPhil studentship in Inorganic Chemistry, available from October 2025, to work under the supervision of Prof. Read more
Fully funded EPSRC CDT in Autonomous Intelligent Machines & Systems
10-12 fully funded 4-year studentships available. Applications for September 2025 are now OPEN. Deadlines. 12:00 midday UK time on Wednesday 29 January 2025. Read more
10 fully funded 4-year PhD studentships at the EPSRC and BBSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Engineering Solutions for Antimicrobial Resistance
The Centre for Doctoral Training in Engineering Solutions for Antimicrobial Resistance is an EPSRC and BBSRC funded programme at University College London offering fully funded 4-year PhD studentships commencing in September 2025. Read more
Tidal dissipation, magmatism and mantle convection on Io
Intense magmatism and volcanism in Jupiter’s moon Io is driven by tidal heating. Magmatic segregation from the mantle and heat-piping across the crust exports the tidal heat to space, maintaining a thermal equilibrium. Read more
Reconstructing the Mesozoic record of extra-terrestrial dust flux: implications for seawater chemistry and the solar system
Micrometeorites (<mm particles of extra-terrestrial or interplanetary dust) can be found in ancient sedimentary rocks (e.g. Read more
Multiparametric geophysics and geothermal resources
Geothermal fluids are rich in heat and can hold a wealth of valuable minerals. A key challenge is finding these fluid reservoirs and assessing important parameters such as porosity, permeability and conductivity. Read more
Lunar magnetism, moonquakes and mantle overturn
The Moon is enigmatic with a highly debated paleomagnetic record from Apollo samples1–4, and unusual seismic signatures from moonquakes5. Read more
Hidden Ocean Forests: Understanding the Ecological and Physiological Properties of Phytoplankton in Subsurface Layers
Satellite sensors have provided an unprecedented view of changes in phytoplankton chlorophyll in the surface ocean. Yet in many ocean regions, from the poles to the tropics, the maximum concentration of chlorophyll occurs at depths which are invisible to earth-orbiting satellites. Read more
Early Earth Magnetism: Exploring the role of Earth’s magnetic field in atmospheric evolution
Earth’s magnetic field is often included as a key planetary property for its habitability. This is because it is thought to protect Earth’s surface from harmful cosmic radiation, and prevents the atmosphere from being eroded by the solar wind1. Read more
