PhD studentship: Understanding the retention and treatment of highway runoff pollutants within roadside bioretention systems – and implications for design and long-term maintenance
Award Summary. This project is part of the Water Infrastructure & Reslience (WIRe) CDT with a tax-free annual living allowance of £24,000 (increased by £300 in years 2, 3 and 4 each), a generous research training support grant + UKRI fees paid. . Read more
Artificial Optical Nervous System
The aim of this project is to establish a new class of sensing system that is capable of mapping strain distribution at thousands of points using a single strand of optical fibre thinner than a human hair. Read more

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities Plus (ReNU+) is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Next-Generation Wind Turbulence Modelling with AI Integration (ReNU+24/EE/MCE/SHEN)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities Plus (ReNU+) is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Innovative Biopolymer Electrolytes with Enhanced Sodium-Ion Conductivity for Sustainable Battery Solutions (ReNU+24/EE/MCE/XING)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities Plus (ReNU+) is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Impact of recycling on multi-terawatt photovoltaic systems (ReNU+24/EE/MPEE/BEATTIE)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities Plus (ReNU+) is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Emergence and equilibration of zonal winds on giant planets: a wave-mean flow interaction approach
The Vortex Dynamics group in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews is looking for applicants for a PhD studentship for a start in September 2025. Read more
Measuring particle energisation in turbulent astrophysical plasmas (ROYAL25/EE/MPEE/STAWARZ)
Applications are invited for a 4-year fully-funded PhD to perform cutting-edge new analyses characterising the nature of particle energisation in turbulent astrophysical plasmas using spacecraft measurements of the plasmas in our solar system. Read more
Predicting solar energetic particle events using AI (STFC25/EE/MPEE/YARDLEY)
We invite applications for a fully-funded PhD project that will enable you to gain expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning in order to address a key problem in the field of space weather forecasting. Read more
Constraining the processes that accelerate and transport solar flare energetic electrons from the Sun’s inner atmosphere to the Earth (STFC25/EE/MPEE/JEFFREY)
The Sun is a prime laboratory for understanding high-energy astrophysics. Its proximity to Earth and transient events such as solar flares make its atmosphere a unique and opportune environment for studying all aspects of high energy astrophysics, including the production of solar flare energetic particles. Read more
A new view of the ionosphere of Uranus (STFC25/ EE/MPEE/MELIN)
Uranus is strange planet. It rotates on its side, producing extreme seasons and has a magnetic field that is heavily tilted. Located in the outer reaches of the Solar System, far from the Sun, it is a vibrant and unique system, and it remains poorly understood. Read more
Development of a novel sensor for measuring electron energisation in space plasmas (STFC25/EE/MPEE/WICKS)
Applications are invited for a 3.5-year fully-funded PhD developing a novel electron and electric field sensor for satellites to use in space science research. Read more
Electron temperatures in the plasma surrounding comets (STFC25/EE/MPEE/GOETZ)
Comets are small bodies that journey through the solar system on often highly elliptical orbits. As they near the Sun, the ices on the surface sublimate and gas and dust escape into space. Read more
Resilient Biomaterials for Space Architecture (IDRT25/HLS/SPA/SHERRY)
Research in the field of space architecture is exploring both deployable material systems and the potential for biotechnologies to grow materials for the construction of off world habitation. Read more
Jupiter’s fiery aurora – how heat is driven into the atmosphere (RDF25/EE/MPEE/STALLARD)
Our understanding of Jupiter’s aurora is radically changing, as we try to understand a wealth of new observations, from ground-based telescopes, from the Juno mission and most recently, from the James Webb Telescope. Read more
