1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Performance-Based Concrete as a Route for CO2 reduction
Summary of PhD Program:
This is a four-year (1+3 MRes/PhD) studentship funded through the Cambridge EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Resilience in a Changing World (FIBE2 CDT). The FIBE2 CDT aims to develop the next generation of infrastructure professionals who can create, shape and deliver the national vision for UK infrastructure, who will be equipped with a versatile and cross-disciplinary skill set to meet the most complex emerging challenges and contribute effectively to better infrastructure decision-making in the UK.
Application Deadline: 16 May 2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in construction design (delivery and operation)
Summary of PhD Program:
This project has the potential to offer a step change in industry, by quantifiably influencing design decisions, based on Safety and Wellbeing lifecycle impacts. Like NCAP ratings in the car industry, a benchmark measure based on objective criteria and data, would aim to transform safety and wellbeing outcomes for those in the construction industry and those that manage and maintain assets in operation. The work will need to have an appreciation of modern, healthier, and safer alternatives to construction, focusing on human risk factors and associated ergonomics. The project is unique, in that its intended output has the potential for real life application. Informal enquires about this post can be made to Dr Rob Foster (rmf41@cam.ac.uk )

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Smart Microbes for sustainable and resilient land regeneration
Summary of PhD Program:
The project is funded in collaboration with major UK design and build environmental contractor, McAuliffe Group and its specialist technical soils and groundwater remediation arm, Geostream UK Natural and engineered microorganisms have played a significant role in recent academic and commercial approaches for the treatment of damaged land. These approaches have included ground improvement, via biomineralisation through microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP), bioremediation via sorption and/or precipitation processes, and biological self-healing within the MICP environment. Those approaches have so far been mainly researched or applied in isolation to meet different design requirements and deliver different outcomes.

4. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Domestic retrofit as a challenge of high volume manufacturing
Summary of PhD Program:
All of the UK’s 28 million homes must be retrofitted to the highest levels of energy performance in the 28 years remaining to deliver the UK’s legal commitment to zero emissions. A small number of expensive and slow one-off projects have demonstrated that this can be done, with Victorian buildings retrofitted to performance near to thatof new Passiv Houses. However the costs of these projects has been very high and they have taken a long time. Converting from expensive one-off delivery to mass market coverage requires that we deploy the design and production skills and technologies of contemporary manufacturing to the practices of one-off small-scale construction.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in 3D printing for smart pavement applications
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will explore the potential for 3D printing in a range of pavement applications, such as bespoke repairs and robotic-assisted on the spot maintenance and assess and test the areas that would be most feasible and deliver the biggest impacts. The project will involve experimental work, including different materials and nozzles as well as 3D printing configurations combined with design and optimisation techniques and would ideally lead to full-scale trials. For project-specific enquires please e-mail Professor Abir Al-Tabbaa (aa22@cam.ac.uk).
Application Deadline: 16 May 2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sensor development for autonomous large-area monitoring and fault detection in expressways
Summary of PhD Program:
Early fault detection and maintenance can significantly improve the lifespan of expressways. The student will first investigate different sensing modalities (acoustic, optical and electromagnetic, etc ) and their feasibility in the given application with project partners. Characterization and modelling of individual sensors will then be performed. Optimal distribution and placement of the sensors will be studied to reduce production cost and maintain robustness to damage. Data-driven algorithms for detecting and differentiation onset of damage from normal load conditions will be developed. Finally, the framework will be tested in real-world conditions and possibly extended to other application domains.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Future proofing roads digital twins
Summary of PhD Program:
The research aims to provide the needed geospatial reference model for digital twins enhancing reality capture, 3D reconstruction, asset certainty, and overall spatial context and understanding via integration with existing national data holdings. The reference model must be able to ensure that digital twins can integrate with existing software while offering a flexible enough approach safeguarding backwards compatibility in the future. This project can significantly strengthen the level of maturity (complexity and connectedness) of digital twins enabling the next generation of smart applications, such as performance optimisation by real-time data capture, failure prediction and future scenario modelling.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in NMR relaxometry and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
Summary of PhD Program:
Applications are invited for 3.5-year full funded PhD studentship based in the Department of Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology, University of Cambridge and Johnson Matthey (JM) PLC. Previous projects on NMR relaxometry in collaboration between JM and the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre at the University of Cambridge have demonstrated successful application of NMR relaxation measurements to porous materials of industrial relevance to JM. This proposed project will investigate how the range of low-field magnetic resonance techniques can be expanded, using Fast Field Cycling (FFC) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), to understand mass transport in catalyst coated membrane (CCM) materials for electrolytic hydrogen.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in
Summary of PhD Program:
Uncovering the processes that led to the origin of life on Earth, and are required for life to emerge elsewhere in the galaxy, remains one of the outstanding questions in science. What is clear is that for ‘geo-‘chemistry to transform into ‘bio-‘chemistry requires a planetary environment with a rich feedstock of simple molecular components. In many respects the modern Earth is hostile environment for likely origin of life chemistry. However, in Earth’s deep past, and potentially in the deep past of many rocky planets, their surfaces may have been fertilized with the debris left over from planet formation.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Developing a microscale split Hopkinson pressure bar for the study of extremely high strain-rate single crystal plasticity
Summary of PhD Program:
Taking the next logical step, this experimental PhD project addresses the novel and technically challenging problem of developing and utilising a microscale split Hopkinson pressure bar for the study of single crystal and small grain size polycrystalline materials in uniaxial stress compression at extremely high strain-rates; in excess of 10^6 per second. This is a loading regime of importance in the development of physics-based materials models which is not directly accessible by other research techniques. The material to be studied will primarily be the bcc metal tantalum in single crystal form along specific loading axes (i.e., the principal crystal orientations) and the data will used for the development and validation of dislocation mobility and strain-hardening laws employed in mesoscale (grain-level) crystal plasticity simulations.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in investigating social and genetic factors that influence neurodevelopment and mental health
Summary of PhD Program:
We are particularly interested in candidates who would like to use large longitudinal datasets to investigate how social and genetic factors contribute to differences in neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions, and factors contributing to gender/sex differences in diagnosis and outcomes. As a part of the PhD, candidates will build complex longitudinal models to investigate the role of social factors and investigate their correlation and interaction with genetic factors. Candidates will develop skills to handle large-scale datasets, longitudinal modelling, genetic analyses including polygenic scores and rare variant analyses. Candidates are asked to submit a potential project title and a research proposal within this research area.
