1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biosciences
Summary of PhD Program:
We invite applications for a fully-funded PhD position that aims to push the boundaries of our understanding of one of the most wondrous food product: chocolate. To make chocolate products healthier, sustainable and affordable, this project focuses on investigating the effect of particle materials properties on the oral processing of oil-based formulations and how this impacts sensory perception of the cocoa-based products. Particle properties play critical role in quality, nutrition and sensory attributes of a broad spectrum of oil-based foods, including chocolate. By exploring the mechanisms of particle interaction with oral surfaces, the project aims to develop the in-depth biophysical understanding of fundamental processes occurring during food transformations during oral processing.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
The objective of this PhD project is to address the knowledge gap around metallic FMs and establish new methods for multi-metal AM. This requires the identification of suitable material combinations for laser-based AM and the determination of appropriate design guidelines for the interfaces formed between dissimilar materials. For the success of metallic FM, there is a critical need to understand how different metals can be combined in AM to achieve desired properties. To achieve this, the project will focus on determining the structural and thermal behaviour of the interface regions of the printed component, where dissimilar materials are in contact.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
We seek to use 3D printing to create novel multimaterial functional structures capable of new ways of sensing underlying material properties. We will use low dimensional materials, including graphene, perovskites and nanodiamonds incorporated into polymers, ceramics and glasses and we will use 3D printing to form them into geometrically complex structures. We will explore how low dimensional materials behave when included within a 3D printed matrix, and we will use their functionality to design and create sensors that can be used for, e.g., examining tissue health or failure in structures under load.
Application Deadline: 26 August 2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Construction of large and deep shafts in urban areas is necessary for various construction activities, such as tunnel construction where shafts serve as integral components of the tunnel construction and often operational phases. As tunnels are constructed ever deeper due to the congestion of underground space, so must the shafts be sunk to deeper levels. Shafts may suffer stability issues as a result of various factors, which can, in the worst case, result in catastrophic failures, or more typically in ground movements. These ground movements, which can have serious and detrimental effects on nearby existing structures and infrastructure in urban areas, are the topic of this PhD project.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Early diagnosis of cancer is an extremely challenging task, meaning that often a diagnosis is obtained at very late stages (e.g. when malignant tumours are large enough to feel or see in ultrasound/MRI etc). Currently there is a major global push to develop technologies that allow tumours to be found, e.g., when they are the size of a grain of sand (instead of the size of a golf ball), or even to detect secondary/tertiary effects that early cancer has on non-tumorous tissue. Furthermore, new technologies are needed to support the gold-standard diagnostic pathway: biopsy + histopathology. Tissue biopsies are challenging and destructive procedures and histopathology is severely understaffed as an industry (there are more snow leopards in the wild than histopathologists in the UK!). Clearly new early cancer detection technology is needed and you can help create the next generation of clinical technology.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
The proposed project will be based on simulation and analysis of disruption scenarios on the network, which will be used to analyse the effects of these disruptions, depending on their location, passenger numbers affected, frequency and severity of consequences. Vulnerable parts of the network will be identified and analysed in terms of different threat types. This type of analysis can be used to evaluate current operation and maintenance standards and their effectiveness for reducing overall railways system risk and improving resilience to threats. In addition, an optimisation framework can be developed in order to propose best response strategies when threats occur.

28. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medicine
Summary of PhD Program:
A new treatment approach for tinnitus, transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), is a non-invasive neurostimulation technique in which small currents (1-2mAs) are delivered to the brain, depolarising or hyperpolarising neurons within the desired region of the cortex. Typically, tDCS studies use a fixed-dose approach, where all patients receive the same stimulation protocol. However, such an approach does not account for inter-individual differences in anatomy, which can result in variable amounts of current reaching the brain in different patients. This may lead to a variable therapeutic effect for tinnitus..com

29. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medicine
Summary of PhD Program:
Everyone with a hearing loss complains that it is hard to understand speech when other, background sounds are present. Measuring just how hard it is for an individual can be used to calculate their hearing loss. In this PhD we want to optimize these “speech-in-noise” tests to improve their performance and so hopefully enable the detection of small changes in listening ability that could be an early marker of a future hearing loss.

31. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medicine
Summary of PhD Program:
Tinnitus (commonly described as ringing in the ears) is a condition where sound is heard in the ears or head without any external sound source, i.e., a subjective phenomenon. It is thought to affect approximately 5% of children in the UK. Tinnitus can negatively impact physical, cognitive, and emotional health, and disrupt daily life for these children. Our lab recently developed the 36-item ‘Impact of Tinnitus in Children Questionnaire’ (iTICQ). This is the first clinical questionnaire to be developed to measure the overall impact of tinnitus on children. The next important step for this questionnaire is to evaluate its psychometric properties to ensure it provides a reliable measure of individual differences in tinnitus impact, and that it is responsive to changes in tinnitus impact over time or after treatment.

37. Fully Funded PhD Position in Veterinary Medicine & Science
Summary of PhD Program:
The causes of injury in racing greyhounds are multifactorial. In racehorses, increasing use is made of modern technologies to try to detect sub-clinical injuries so that horses can be appropriately rested or treated, rather than continuing to train and race (which might result in a sub-clinical injury becoming a catastrophic injury). Such use of modern technologies is not current within the sport of greyhound racing, but might have an important role to play in the prevention of serious injuries.
