1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Studying biological variation in the environmental sensor and novel psoriasis drug target Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR): expression, regulation and biomarker potential
Summary of PhD Program:
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic inflammatory skin condition due to combination of genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and dysregulated innate and adaptive immune responses [1]. The disease has a major impact on patient’s quality of life and pose a significant financial burden on the healthcare system. Recent progress in the identification of key cellular player and molecular pathways underpinning disease pathogenesis has led to the design and use of effective targeted therapies against key pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Application Deadline: 31 July 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Time-varying metamaterials for controlling thermal properties
Summary of PhD Program:
Metamaterials are engineered structures designed to manipulate physical phenomena in ways not possible with natural materials. Among their many applications, controlling thermal properties is a particularly promising area. Time-varying metamaterials, which change their properties dynamically over time, offer innovative solutions for thermal management. These materials can be programmed to respond to external stimuli such as temperature, light, or electromagnetic fields, enabling precise control over heat flow and distribution.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Supply scenario simulation and optimisation in a global complex multi-echelon consumer healthcare supply chain
Summary of PhD Program:
Haleon is a modern consumer healthcare company with a rich and diversified portfolio of products, distributed to millions of customers utilizing a variety of selling archetypes (including direct-to-retailer, distributor, or direct-to-pharmacy models). To achieve this, Haleon relies on a complex global multiechelon supply chain (taking into consideration raw materials supply, manufacturing, logistics and distribution). In such supply chain models, customers represent demand nodes (in which the demand levels are typically stochastic, having varied service levels and pricing agreements).
Application Deadline: 01 August 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Large-Scale Continuous Nonlinear Optimisation
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will focus on the development and analysis of efficient and robust optimisation algorithms for the solution of general or application-directed nonlinear (possibly stochastic, non-smooth, or non-convex) continuous optimisation problems of large-scale (i.e., problems with millions to billions to variables). This research will involve deriving novel first- and/or second-order optimisation methods, conducting convergence analyses and developing associated efficient implementations.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mechanics of Creases in Thin Sheets
Summary of PhD Program:
Creases are localised regions of high curvature formed by irreversible (plastic) deformation when a thin sheet, such as paper, is folded and compressed. Due to their highly anisotropic bending stiffness, the presence of creases significantly modifies the large-scale mechanical behaviour of a sheet. The soft, hinge-like response of creases under planar bending (i.e., with the bending axis parallel to the crease line) provides predictable loading pathways for thin-sheet origami and deployable structures. Meanwhile, their high rigidity to out-of-plane bending means that creasing is a viable technique to create lightweight but stiff structures, similar to the corrugations seen in roof panels and packaging materials.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Evaluating Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in STEM doctoral training
Summary of PhD Program:
Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is a field of research and practice which emphasises anticipating the broader implications of research in creating meaningful public benefit whilst ensuring ethical alignment with societal values and regulations. Despite increasing integration in UKRI-funded doctoral programmes, little is known about what makes RRI training effective, or how PhD students should demonstrate their competence in this area.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in industrial machine learning, mathematical optimisation and mathematical analysis
Summary of PhD Program:
This is an exciting, funded PhD opportunity in mathematical data science that will appeal greatly to mathematicians who are interested both in theory and practical, real-world applications. This PhD programme will especially interest those who excelled at undergraduate courses in mathematical analysis, linear algebra, programming, optimisation, and machine learning, and want to see how their knowledge of these areas can be used to develop and apply new techniques in industry.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Impact of nutrition on molecular mechanisms of skin health
Summary of PhD Program:
The project will explore links between nutrition and skin ageing at the molecular level in the largest skin tissue biopsy dataset from the TwinsUK cohort. The results will help understand the molecular pathways through which diet affects skin health, and determine how diet affects molecular factors that influence visual ageing changes. Nutrition is linked to multiple aspects of skin ageing, and this work will help identify aspects of diet that are most influential to skin ageing.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Advanced Engineering for Personalised Surgery & Intervention
Summary of PhD Program:
The Hinduja Scholarship offers fully funded PhD opportunities for Indian students to undertake research either in the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine or the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences at King’s College London. Scholars will be aligned with the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Advanced Engineering for Personalised Surgery & Intervention (AE-PSI), based in the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, focusing on developing healthcare technologies of the future.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Fusion Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
We will investigate the probabilistic approach as a much faster and reliable alternative for structural integrity assessment of BBs. Although the merits of probabilistic schemes for fusion design have been recently identified, the available literature remains at primitive stage – a rigorous comparison between probabilistic and deterministic strategies for real fusion components is missing. Our aim is to devise a probabilistic framework for BB design where brittle fracture due to ductility exhaustion can become enormously sensitive to irradiation dose and manufacturing defects.
Application Deadline: 20 August 2025
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Probing brain functions at scale for precise deep brain modulation
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims to improve our understanding of the brains response to DBS by using cutting edge advances in multimodal imaging. In particular, you will use and further develop our functional optical endomicroscopic imaging systems to visualise brain functional activities in situ. The imaging system exploits advanced fibre light field technology for snapshot 3D imaging of brain cells and single photon fluorescence imaging for detecting neural activity. This provides new measures of neural activity in response to the electrical stimulation in real time at both cellular level and circuit level.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Native AI Network Orchestration in 3D Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
Summary of PhD Program:
Aerial Base Stations (ABSs) hosted on un-crewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly named as drones, have a significant potential to expand network coverage and dramatically boost the capacity of future envisioned 6G wireless networks. Nonetheless, the key critical challenge facing the deployment of ABSs is the insubstantial available energy of the drone (i.e., battery capacity), which severely limits the hovering and/or flying time for serving end users. In this research we will be exploring the use of drone-assisted cellular network based on Aerial Robotic Base Stations (ARBSs) with reconfigurable and versatile anchoring mechanisms.
