2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Psychology : Transforming menopause care through at-home hormone monitoring
Summary of PhD Program:
Hormone-driven conditions affect billions of women globally, impacting everything from cardiovascular to mental health. Despite this, women face significant delays in diagnosis and treatment, often experiencing a trial-and-error approach due to a lack of comprehensive hormone testing data. This project aims to demonstrate that frequent hormone monitoring, combined with education and symptom monitoring, will improve diagnostic accuracy and improve treatment selection and patient outcomes.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Tracing the Impact of Timing and Location of Flooding on Arctic Sea Ice Thickness
Summary of PhD Program:
The Eco-ICE project explores whether interventions that pump seawater onto the ice surface could counteract sea ice decline by encouraging wintertime ice thickening. When seawater is pumped onto sea ice, it infiltrates the snow layer, forming slush that may then freeze, thickening the underlying ice. As highlighted by Pauling and Bitz (2021), this is analogous to rain falling on the snow layer. The response of the sea ice system to such flooding—whether from increasing natural rainfall or intervention—holds important implications for Arctic feedbacks, both physical and ecological.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Food Biotechnology
Summary of PhD Program:
Microbial proteins provide a sustainable and nutritious alternative to traditional animal-based proteins and are attracting significant research and commercial interest. The aim of the project is to advance our fundamental understanding of developing whole-cut meat analogues utilising protein-rich fungal biomass. The project will investigate the impact of the fermentation process, growth media and formulation strategies on food quality, including textural and organoleptic properties. The project is funded through the Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein, which involves several UK and overseas academic partners, as well as industrial partners.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Real Estate and Planning
Summary of PhD Program:
Using a governance lens and participatory methods, this project involves local stakeholders and researchers working together to develop better understanding of decision-making processes in the provision of active travel infrastructure. The project will address research questions such as, why are some schemes prioritised over others? What mechanisms exist to evaluate whether schemes are successful (or not)? What lessons can be learned from existing schemes locally and elsewhere to improve outcomes? The research will pay particular attention to how user-needs and experiences are integrated into infrastructure provision processes via engagement tools ranging from formal consultation to more innovative participatory approaches such as co-design and digital technologies.
