1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Design of the Next Generation of Environmentally Friendly Skin Care Formulations Supported by AI
Summary of PhD Program:
This fully funded PhD place provides an exciting opportunity to pursue postgraduate research in a range of fields relating to Surfactant Science and the Physical Chemistry of Biomaterials. The goal of the research project is to investigate how lipid and surfactant self-assembly processes, plus the nanostructural characteristics of the formed micelles, affect mildness versus foaming, cleansing and other important performance attributes in skin-care products. This project will focus on the development of environmentally friendly formulations, based on easily biodegradable and sustainable novel materials developed by Croda (Industrial partner).
Application Deadline: 31 October 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Adult Social Care Workforce and/ or Digital and Technologies
Summary of PhD Program:
The award is open to full-time candidates (UK only) who meet the eligibility for a place on a PhD degree at the School of Healthcare. The doctoral student will be required to conduct research relevant to adult social care practice in England and in line with the NIHR SSCR’s research themes (see Annex 1). We especially welcome applications on (1) the adult social care workforce or (2) digital and other new technologies in social care. We request that applicants detail their research question and the methods they will use in a protocol submitted as part of the application process.
Application Deadline: 10 October 2025

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Collaborative Intelligent Computing Services in Integrated space-air-terrestrial Networks
Summary of PhD Program:
The candidate in this role is expected to delve into the multifaceted landscape of intelligent and distributed computing within the realm of 5G/6G and aim to unlock new possibilities for enhancing connectivity, scalability, and reliability in future communication networks [1,2,3,4]. The problems to study during this role include but are not limited to, UAV as an access network, computation offloading and NFV placement in integrated air-ground networks. The candidate will formulate the problems and exploit optimization and ML-based techniques to solve the problems to improve the Key Performance Indicators in future communication networks.
Application Deadline: 30 September 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Image guided intervention supported with mixed reality
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD studentship will broadly explore development of cutting-edge AI solutions for image registration, anatomy segmentation, and immersive technology. The selected candidate will work with preoperative MRI/CT scans to create 3D models of organs and intra-operative surgical videos. The candidate will develop surgical planning and implement new technologies for its integration as VR/AR assistive platform. Please note that AR integration will be supported by the computer graphics team at Leeds so this is not a mandatory criteria.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Developing a Digital Twin for Decarbonising Campus Transport Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
This fully funded PhD studentship offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in sustainable mobility and digital innovation as part of a major national programme to decarbonise transport. The Institute for Transport Studies invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2025/26 for the Developing a Digital Twin for Decarbonising Campus Transport Systems project, supported through the Institute for Transport Studies TRANSIT Scholarship.
Application Deadline: 30 September 2025
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Estimating the potential for shared mobility across place at the national scale
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will use a data-driven approach to develop national-level estimates of the locations where shared transport modes can best meet the mobility needs of places. As part of the INFUZE programme we will be bringing together data that characterise the mobility of places. Our partnerships on the project will enable access to data on shared transport mode use, business models, and population-scale mobility trajectories. These will be integrated additionally with contextual data relating to the urban environment – such as morphology, topography, land use / activity locations, and road network structure – and population data.
Application Deadline: 22 September 2025
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Grassland Degradation Detection and Assessment in China by Remote Sensing
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will focus on devising new remote sensing methods for monitoring the degradation of grasslands, which account for 94% of all degraded drylands. It will study grasslands in China, which cover 42% of national land area, and take advantage of data collected by both Chinese and European Space Agency (ESA) satellites. The project is supported by the DRAGON 5 Programme of ESA and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology. The student will spend up to 6 months in Beijing working with our Chinese partner.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Hybrid event beds in confined basins
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will help develop our fundamental understanding of how deep-water sedimentary processes respond to confinement. The project will also help develop an applied understanding of the fill and rock properties of hybrid beds in confined basins, which are hosts of conventional resources, sinks of organic carbon, and potential hosts of man-made pollutants. This project will benefit from field studies in the famous Peïra Cava Basin, SE France; decades of prior studies by the wider research team provide a rigorous stratigraphic framework for the study.
