1. Fully Funded PhD Position in management and welfare of domestic donkeys
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD studentship focuses on the management and welfare of domestic donkeys in temperate climates such as the UK. As descendants of the African Wild Ass, donkeys have retained adaptions to semi-arid environments that allow browsing on nutritionally poor shrubby vegetation when grasses and low vegetation are scarce. In temperate climates, donkeys are often kept in pastures, which are more nutritious than necessary and provide little opportunity for browsing. This can lead to obesity and a multitude associated health problems. Such environments also lack enrichment for donkeys and do not provide opportunities to fulfil their ethological needs in terms of feeding and movement.
Application Deadline: 8 September 2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Microbial Hydroponics
Summary of PhD Program:
The primary aim of this PhD will be to match light and nitrogen regimes required by plants grown in hydroponics to those that MFCs can provide and to determine the effects of these regimes on the uptake of contaminant cations and anions. The first objective will be to work with the Mi-Hy project to optimise light and nitrogen regimes in MFC-powered hydroponics. The second objective will be to use the optimised hydroponic system to investigate the uptake of contaminants, e.g. Cs-137 and Tc-99.
Application Deadline: 15 September 2023

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in health-related discipline
Summary of PhD Program:
Applications are invited from ambitious, self-motivated and enthusiastic candidates, with a background in a health-related discipline to work on a fully funded PhD studentship. Funding and stipend are provided by UWE Bristol and the ExtraCare Charitable Trust, UK. The aim of this PhD is to investigate the impact of physical issues/impairments on the psychological wellbeing of older people living in residential/retirement homes in Bristol and determine what interventions could support their participation in physical activity and exercise.
Application Deadline: 01 September 2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in image-based 3D capture of fragile textiles
Summary of PhD Program:
Using a series of embroideries at The Holburne Museum in Bath as a case study, the project will aim to develop a methodology for accurate image-based 3D capture of fragile textiles using computational photographic techniques. The research will further exploit the data produced to facilitate both visual and tactile engagement with the materiality of delicate historic textiles. This studentship is part of a wider AHRC funded project titled “An investigation of 3D technologies applied to historic textiles for improved understanding, conservation and engagement”. The PhD candidate will be based at the CFPR and collaborate with the CMV at the BRL.
