Building proactive climate resilience into critical infrastructure assets

Critical transport infrastructure, play a key role for the seamless functioning of our societies. Several assets are approaching the end of their design life, whereas at the same time are subjected to ever-increasing traffic loads and natural hazards that are aggravated by climate change.

Development of an Automated System for Manipulating Soft Agricultural Materials

Industry 4.0 is transforming solutions in various industrial fields. The development and adoption of automated technologies using robotics and applications of Artificial Intelligence enhance the current manual procedures with higher accuracy and better repeatability. Read more

Digitalisation of Energy Systems

We are recruiting highly self-motivated PhD candidates in the fields of digitalisation of energy systems, energy systems modelling and optimisation, and renewable energy integration. Read more

Quantum Computing platform with atomic qubits

Quantum computing offers efficient implementation of an important class of algorithms for which their classical counterparts suffer from an exponential growth of computational costs with system size. Read more

Modelling within-individual variability of clinical parameters and investigation of their effects on clinical decision-making

All measured clinical parameters vary within individual the same individual. This variation includes biological variation (chance variation around a physiological mean) and variation in the measurement process (measurement error). Read more

Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice: Investigating the Barriers to Achieving Projected Energy Savings in Railway Systems

A plethora of energy saving devices and technology have been proposed for railway systems to help save energy. These systems employ technology to either to use an alternative fuel, or to harness existing energy, or to store excess energy in batteries, or to use another chemical gradient. Read more

Statistical inference for epidemics models

Mathematical models have been established as an important tool for capturing the features that drive the spread of a disease, predicting the progression of an epidemic and guiding the development of effective control strategies to prevent potential outbreaks. Read more

Mathematical Machine Learning for Molecular Modeling

Project description. This PhD project aims to develop Machine Learning methods for Molecular Modeling with a particular focus on aspects relevant to dynamics preserving coarse-graining strategies. Read more

High-fidelity CFD and data-driven modelling of aerodynamic noise sources

Applications are invited for one funded 3.5-year PhD studentship for the project titled “High-fidelity CFD and data-driven modeling of aerodynamic noise sources” in the group of Dr Zhong-Nan Wang at the University of Birmingham. Read more

Many Body Entanglement with Sr/'Yb

We aim to investigate many body interactions and entanglement for ultracold Sr atoms trapped in a 3D optical lattice. The atoms interact via dipole-dipole interactions induced on low lying states, e.g. Read more

Optical lattice clock for fundamental studies

We are offering PhD studentships in physics, working on an optical lattice clock. The clock is based on strontium atoms, which are laser-cooled to a temperature of 1µK, trapped in an optical-lattice. Read more

Quantum enabled synchronised radar network

The objective of this thesis is to realise a quantum-enabled synchronised radar network with multiple nodes. Such a radar network will allow an understanding of the presence and location of any flying object in the space of interest together with real time updates of that knowledge. Read more

Sr optical clock with continuous operation

We are building a setup with novel research into physics and engineering identified by applications to ultimately achieve the next level of integration and practical usability. Read more

Manufacturing, characterization, and recycling of nano-particle reinforced metal composites for extreme environments

Applications are invited for two funded PhD studentships for the project titled “Manufacturing, characterization, and recycling of nano-particle reinforced metal composites for extreme environments” in the Sustainable Physical Metallurgy group at the University of Birmingham. Read more

Demonstration of novel high temperature zirconium alloys under irradiation for generation-IV fission

A 3.5-year UK/EU PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr Sandy Knowles within the School of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Birmingham, with a stipend of at least £18,622 per year (industrial top up of ~£2000 expected). Read more

Exploring the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating myelin formation, injury and repair in the central nervous system

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research on glial cells and their involvement in mechanisms mediating central nervous system development, function and disease states to join the Oligodendrocyte and Myelin Research Group led by Dr Daniel Fulton. Read more

PhD Studentship in the atomistic dynamics of mechanochemical reactivity

Applications are sought for a fully funded 3.5-year PhD position in the group of Dr Adam Michalchuk in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham to start Oct. Read more

Probing Astrochemical Reactions with Laser Spectroscopy

The study of chemistry occurring in low temperature environments, such as those in the interstellar medium, is an excellent test of our understanding of the governing forces in molecular interactions and reactive collisions. Read more

Developing therapies targeting inflammation and dysfunctional matrix biology in neurological and ocular disease

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in inflammation and matrix biology in the eye and brain to join our team co-led by Dr Lisa Hill https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/clinical-sciences/hill-lisa.aspx and Dr Hannah Botfield https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/inflammation-ageing/botfield-hannah.aspx. Read more

Musculoskeletal Ageing and Inflammation Research

We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in musculoskeletal ageing and chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., osteoarthritis and sarcopenia) to join the Musculoskeletal Ageing and Inflammation team led by Prof Simon Jones https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/inflammation-ageing/jones-simon.aspx.
