PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in York

We have 137 PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in York

PhD Scholarship for strengthening Applied Global Health Research capacity in South Asia

  Research Group: Mental Health and Addiction
The Department of Health Sciences, University of York, UK is inviting applications for fully-funded PhD scholarships in Applied Global Health Research under its SCIMITAR-South Asia (SCIMITAR-SA) programme. . Read more

Synthesis of macrocycles and medium-sized rings via new ring expansion approaches

Summary. Macrocycles (12+ membered rings) and medium-sized rings (8–11-membered) are cyclic molecules with great potential in many scientific fields and technologies – especially in medicinal chemistry. Read more

Tailoring Unspecific Peroxygenases (UPOs) for Applications in Synthetic Organic Chemistry

Background. The oxygenation of organic compounds presents an ongoing challenge to synthetic chemistry as conventional reagents present difficulties with toxicity, harsh conditions and poor selectivity. Read more

Organic Synthesis and Self-Assembly of State-Independent Electrolyte Materials

Ideal electrolytes for energy devices such as batteries and solar cells would (i) be lightweight and flexible, (ii) exhibit thermal stability, (iii) be non-volatile (to reduce fire risk), (iv) provide good interfacial contact with electrodes, (v) be amenable to processing and recycling, (vi) have high ionic conductivities, and (vii) be made from cheap, renewable feedstocks. Read more

Direct analysis ion mobility mass spectrometry for rapid profiling of edible fats and oils to combat food adulteration

Background. Food safety and authenticity are generally taken for granted, yet food adulteration is one of the most significant challenges faced in the UK, with the total impact of food crime on the UK estimated to be between £409 million and £1.96 billion per year [Food Standards Agency, 2023].

PhD Studentship in the Epidemiology of Disordered Eating and Eating Disorders

  Research Group: Mental Health and Addiction
We invite applications for a fully-funded full-time 3-year PhD studentship starting September/October 2024. The project is about mapping the epidemiology of disordered eating and eating disorders in a large, diverse sample of young people. . Read more

Photonics for Net Zero Enabled by Patternable Boron-Phosphide Polymers

The manipulation of light in optoelectronic devices is a cornerstone for the delivery of Net Zero, for example in low-energy optical computing (silicon-photonics) and green hydrogen generation from water (photocatalysis). Read more

Towards a better understanding of indoor air quality in the home

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently stated that exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution was one of the greatest risks to human health, and that improving air quality was necessary to reduce the global incidence and impact of diseases such as lung cancer, stroke, and asthma. Read more

Self funded PhD in Biology: Novel approaches for valorisation of seaweed biomass

Lead Supervisor. Dr T Tonon (Department of Biology). Co-Supervisor. Dr Leonardo Gomez (Department of Biology). Context. Seaweeds are crucial to maintain biodiversity in coastal environments and to support livelihood of some coastal communities. Read more

Development of improved and targeted quantification of ammonia emissions

Introduction. Ammonia (NH. 3. ) has an ever-growing influence on air pollution in the UK and worldwide with numerous considerable impacts such as the formation of secondary particles (now the dominant contribution), nitrogen deposition and eutrophication. Read more

Emotional response to immersive audio in live music performance

This project is a collaboration between University of York and L-Acoustics as part of CoStar LiveLab. It will address the challenges of understanding the impact of different listening environments, contexts and technical setups and sound formats on listeners. Read more

Leveraging Statistical and Machine Learning Approaches for Engineering Design under Uncertainties

Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of engineering design and addressing real-world challenges? Embark on this exciting journey to develop novel statistical and machine learning methods to enhance engineering design in the presence of uncertainties, and contribute to shaping the future of computational engineering design. Read more

Model-based Approach for Prognostics Health Management (PHM) for Fusion Reactors

The University of York is at the forefront of transformative research in data-centric engineering, digital twins, and AI, bringing about a revolution in the design and operation of systems. Read more

Common genetic origins of visual and neurocognitive disorders

There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration). Read more

Discovery of new sustainable permanent magnets for electric motors and generators

High-performance permanent magnets are needed for electric motors and generators which are essential for the decarbonisation of transport (land, sea and air) and energy generation (>25% of UK electricity comes from wind-turbines). Read more

Resilient AI Systems for Polar Glacier Monitoring

AI has become a valuable asset in day-to-day life. It has also become an invaluable part of any research. It is often associated and combined within autonomous systems for monitoring environmental changes. Read more
