(MRC DTP) Disease Mechanisms of Radiation-Induced Alopecia by Proton Beam and X-Ray Therapy and Prevention through Scalp Cooling
Radiation-induced alopecia (RIA) is a distressing and potentially permanent hair loss disorder resulting from targeted radiotherapy used in the treatment of central nervous system tumours. Read more
(MRC DTP) Investigations into proton radiation in chromosomal instability- and telomere spectrum disorders
Chromosomal instability- and telomere spectrum disorders (CITSDs), such as Bloom syndrome (BS), Fanconi anaemia (FA), Nijmegen Breakage syndrome (NBS) or Dyskeratosis Congenita (DKC) are inherited conditions with variable congenital and developmental abnormalities and impaired ability to maintain chromosomal integrity.

Design and performance optimization of Proton exchange membrane fuel cell for aviation application
Commercial aviation currently accounts for approximately 2.6% of annual global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Read more
Exploring the TMEM206 proton-gated chloride channel as a new therapeutic target in ischaemic-mediated capillary disfunction
Commercial partner: Novo Nordisk Research Centre Oxford (NNRCO). Mammalian cells respond to alterations in extracellular pH (pHe) with mechanisms that are aimed at re-establishing cellular homeostasis. Read more
Novel gas diffusion layers and catalyst supports for proton exchange membrane fuel cells
Fuel cells have been considered as one of the promising technologies for the next generation energy production systems, because of their high energy efficiency and low pollutant emission. Read more
PhD studentship in experimental biophysics and charge transfer systems
PhD start date. 1st October 2025. Application deadline. Thursday 31st October 2024. Application process. Click here to apply. Application requirements. Read more
The ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC
ALICE is one of the four main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is a general purpose heavy-ion experiment aimed at studying QCD under extreme conditions of energy density. Read more
Investigating the radiobiology of protons and BNCT in head and neck tumour treatment
Background. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 6th most common cancer worldwide with an annual incidence of ~800,000 cases/year. Read more
(MRC DTP) The impact of hearing impairment on neuropsychological functioning and quality of life following treatment for paediatric brain tumours
This is a unique opportunity for a candidate with a background in psychology to work on the important problem of quality of life after childhood cancer. Read more
Novel Superprotonic Materials for Hydrogen Technologies
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
Development of novel statistical methods and application to searches for New Physics using the ATLAS detector at the LHC
The long-established RHUL ATLAS group has extensive expertise in physics (Higgs, top quark and exotic signatures involving electrons), statistical methods, as well as trigger and data acquisition systems. Read more
Nanocellulose as a Sustainable Electrolyte for Electrochemical Energy Conversion
The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) can convert renewable energy into green hydrogen, whilst polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) convert hydrogen into electrical power. Read more
Searching for Higgs Boson Pair Production with the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN LHC
It's possible that the 125 GeV Higgs boson discovered by the CERN ATLAS and CMS Experiments is only one of several neutrally-charged Higgs bosons predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Read more
Characterisation of general practices by prescribing and diagnostic test ordering behaviour using dimensionality reduction and clustering analysis
Introduction. Personality refers to an individual’s enduring characteristics and behaviours. Read more
High-Throughput Combinatorial Discovery & Demonstration of Novel Fusion Alloys, PhD with UKAEA
A funded 3.5-year UK PhD studentship is available in the group of Prof Sandy Knowles within the School of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Birmingham, with a tax-free stipend of £19,237 per year. Read more
