1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Digital Transformation of Metals Industry
Summary of PhD Program:
DigitalMetal CDT, led by the University of Leicester, in partnership with Universities of Birmingham, Loughborough, Nottingham, and Warwick, invites applications for about 14 fully funded PhD positions for 2025 entry. This programme is designed to train future leaders equipped with combined expertise in metals and alloy engineering and digital technology and AI, supported by a broad foundation in manufacturing management, product development, leadership, and personal development skills.
Application Deadline: 30 April 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Contextualising Roman coinage from Camulodunum: an exploration of economy and identity in Britannia’s first capital
Summary of PhD Program:
An important Iron Age centre, then a Roman military installation and subsequently a major town, Camulodunum was integral to the foundation and development of the Roman province of Britannia. Yet despite its significance, much of its material culture remains understudied. Thousands of coins (the most ubiquitous of Roman artefacts) have been recovered from the town and its hinterland, but they have never been analysed in any detail. This Collaborative Doctoral Partnership project will address this issue by exploring the function and use of coinage in Roman Colchester for the very first time.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in field of holocaust and genocide studies and/or Jewish history
Summary of PhD Program:
The Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies (SBC) is an interdisciplinary and collaborative research centre based in the School of History, Politics and International Relations at the University of Leicester. It is the oldest existing Holocaust research centre in the UK, established through an endowment from the Burton Trust to pioneer research, teaching and engagement with the history of the Holocaust and Jewish History. The Centre’s name was changed to Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust Studies and Genocide Studies in 2011 to reflect the broadening of its research focus towards a comparative perspective.

5. 04 Fully Funded PhD Position in Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to investigate the catalytic mechanisms and structural dynamics of metalloenzymes that are vital for chemical energy conversion, with a focus on hydrogenase. State-of-the-art spectroscopic and structural studies will be combined with computational analysis to reveal critical but elusive transient intermediates by studying reactions in real time on sub-microsecond timescales. The outcomes of this project will provide a step change in our understanding of the mechanism of hydrogenase and other metalloenzymes, and will serve as inspirational catalysts for future green energy technologies A PhD student will gain a broad range of interdisciplinary skills in spectroscopy, electrochemistry, chemical biology, structural biology, and biophysics whilst addressing critical questions about how nature achieves efficient chemical energy conversion.
Application Deadline: 30 April 2025

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Exploring Therapeutic Interventions for Infantile Nystagmus
Summary of PhD Program:
At the University of Leicester, we have pioneered genetic insights into IN, identifying the role of FRMD7 (Tarpey P et al. 2006, Thomas MG et al. 2011) and leading the largest international multicentre studies (12 centres across 9 countries) characterising genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of TYR and other genes associated with albinism (Kuht HJ et al. 2022). To translate this knowledge into ground-breaking treatments, we have developed advanced zebrafish models that closely mimic the human condition, providing a unique and powerful system to screen potential therapies at unprecedented scale.
