Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Loughborough University, England invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs / fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.
Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in The user-centred design of next-generation body armour and apparel
Summary of PhD Program:
As part of this research, the appointee will actively engage with the funder. We will take an interdisciplinary approach to evaluating and designing future body armour, associated apparel, and apparatus. Various digital design manufacturing technologies, such as CAD, 3D scanning, and 3D printing, will likely be employed, alongside a user-centred design methodology. This approach will support the development of generation-after-next body armour and personal protection systems with enhanced fit, comfort, user wellbeing, and protection in mind.
Application Deadline: 6 November 2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Aquatic eDetective
Summary of PhD Program:
The successful PhD applicant will work with experts in robotics, autonomous systems, and fluid mechanics at Loughborough University, and with applied environmental scientists at the Environment Agency. They will develop USVs equipped with water quality sensors to autonomously survey the aquatic environment; model pollution dispersion for fast Bayesian inference with real-world field testing and application; and develop physics-informed Bayesian inference algorithms to rapidly quantify the information gain of a possible sampling location.
Application Deadline: 10 January 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Media and Creative Industries
Summary of PhD Program:
The Institute for Media and Creative Industries (IMCI) invites doctoral research proposals that fit with IMCI’s research themes, that links to one or more of our current research projects, and that aligns with the research of one or more of our academic staff. Our academics cover a range of research interests ranging from populism and the media, gender and media, museums and heritage industries, creative and cultural industries, youth engagement, citizen’s media, social movements, communication and social change, Freirean communication, digital ethnography, AI and everyday life, and disability communication and the global South. Our research takes place in diverse regions, and we are equally interested in applications exploring topics relevant to our East London and UK location and to global and global South perspectives including Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and Latin America.
Application Deadline: 13 November 2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Design Innovation
Summary of PhD Program:
We are currently seeking candidates interested in the following areas and topics: design ecologies, participatory design, design activism, design commons, design politics, design entrepreneurship, exhibition design for climate, more-than-human design, decolonising museums, design and critical pedagogies, management and organisation of design, design ideologies, institutional logics in design.
Application Deadline: 13 November 2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Re-imagining Engineering Design
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD studentship falls within the EPSRC Programme Grant ‘RIED’ (Re-Imagining Engineering Design), a multi-institute project investigating new concepts for the future of high-value manufacturing. This project is seeking candidates with a profound interest in the design, manufacture and validation of high-performing lightweight, multifunctional products. The candidate will join a multidisciplinary team, including industrial collaborators, who are re-imagining engineering design and manufacturing.
Application Deadline: 5 December 2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Eating and movement behaviours, mental health and glucose monitoring
Summary of PhD Program:
Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) is key symptoms in some inherited metabolic conditions such as Glycogen Storage Disease types with liver involvement. Hypoglycaemia must be avoided to prevent acute complications, including seizures, coma, and death, and to reduce the severity and risk of long-term complications associated metabolic derangements. Individuals with persistent severe hypoglycaemia therefore require close monitoring of blood glucose levels and strict dietary intervention to maintain appropriate metabolic control.
Application Deadline: 16 November 2023
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Rotor Blade Vibration
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of this project is to develop a test methodology to measure the turbine blades’ vibration response as a function of input energy. This will allow blades to be ranked in terms of the severity of their response to resonance excitation and identify blades where fatigue failure may initiate. The research will focus on modelling the rotor system to capture the blade vibration interactions on a benchtop setting and compare the results to data measured on working turbines. The parameterisation of the rotor system model will be based on data collected from a benchtop blade responsiveness rig that has been developed by our research team.
