3. Funded PhD Position in From Oceans to Clouds: Is the Antarctic ocean microlayer a source of cloud forming particles?

Summary of PhD Position:

Clouds can have a warming or cooling effect on the Planet depending on their phase. Cloud water droplets and ice crystals form on a subset of aerosol which can act either as a cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) or as an ice nucleating particle (INP). Ice clouds tend to have shorter lifetimes and a lower albedo (reflecting less solar energy back into space) than clouds which contain large numbers of water droplets. It is therefore critically important to understand the sources of CCN and INP, and how these sources might change, to make future climate predictions.

8. Funded PhD Position in CFD-DEM Optimisation of Porous Breakwater Design and Placement for Enhanced Flood Mitigation 

Summary of PhD Position:

Coastal flooding poses a significant and growing threat to communities worldwide, intensified by climate change and sea-level rise. Traditional coastal defence structures can be ecologically disruptive and expensive. Porous breakwaters (PBs) offer a promising alternative, reducing wave energy through dissipation and controlled overtopping, potentially mitigating flood risk while minimising environmental impact (Nimma & Srineash 2025, Nguyean et al. 2022).

9. Funded PhD Position in CFD-DEM Modelling for Producing High-Purity Quartz Sand

Summary of PhD Position:

High-purity quartz is a critical raw material for advanced industries such as semiconductors and optical fibres. The purification of quartz typically involves high-temperature chlorination to convert metallic impurities into volatile chlorides. The process efficiency, however, depends on a complex interplay of particle-scale interactions and particle/solid body interactions. Current industrial practice relies heavily on empirical optimisation, leading to inefficiencies in energy use and impurity removal.

11. Funded PhD Position in Assessing the eco-hydrological and geomorphic effects of floodplain restoration

Summary of PhD Position:

Naturally functioning floodplains provide a range of ecosystem services. Through hydrological connections to rivers, they store water helping to attenuate floods and maintain baseflows during droughts. They also facilitate biogeochemical processing of nutrients, aiding water quality remediation, and carbon sequestration. Despite their relatively small area, floodplains support a disproportionately high biodiversity due to dynamic geomorphic and hydrological processes that create a variety of habitats.

4. Funded PhD Position in Low-emission Ammonia Combustion through Smart Material Design

Summary of PhD Position:

Ammonia is an essential component of the global strategy to achieve net-zero emissions. As a carbon-free fuel, it holds great promise for decarbonising energy-intensive sectors such as power generation and shipping. However, its practical use in combustion systems remains limited by two challenges: poor reactivity and undesirable nitrogen emission. Due to its high ignition temperature and substantial activation energy, ammonia is difficult to ignite and sustain combustion in conventional systems.

1. Funded PhD Position in Behaviour, Physiology, and Ecology of Antimicrobial Resistance in wild Baboons

Summary of PhD Position:

The expansion of human activities brings wildlife closer to people, leading to transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at the human–wildlife interface. This is problematic because AMR compromises both animal and public health, with various knock-on effects on the wider ecosystem. Research into AMR in this context is challenging as it requires high-resolution data on spatial and social behaviour combined with frequent physiological and environmental sampling. As highly adaptable generalists and social primates, chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) offer a striking model system – they forage in croplands, plantations, and urban areas.

1. Funded PhD Position in Healthy Learning in a Digital Age: The Role of Educational Media in Early Development

Summary of PhD Position:

From the earliest months of life, children are surrounded by screens, sparking widespread concern about their potential harms. However, screen time is not uniform: while some content may be passive or distracting, other forms are carefully designed to engage infants and support learning. Yet surprisingly little research has tested whether infants experience educational media as socially engaging and whether they can effectively learn from it. This project addresses that gap by combining neuroscience, psychology, and educational technology to examine how infants respond to screen-based interactions and how parental co-use shapes these outcomes.
