Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? The University of Essex, Colchester, England is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD in Machine Learning and Robotics for Advanced Medical Applications
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Current treatments often involve invasive methods, but recent advancements in medical robotics, such as the Da Vinci surgical robots, have advanced the field of minimally invasive procedures. The InTarget project aims to push this further by developing robotic-based systems capable of performing targeted drug delivery through intelligent magnetic field control.
As a PhD student, you will be joined to the EPSRC InTarget project, working at the Robotics for Under Millimetre Intervention (RUMI) Lab. This project focuses on developing an advanced robotic system for medical application. Our goal is to make a step change in medical robotics.
Application Deadline: 30 October 2024

2. Fully Funded PhD in Climate misinformation
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This is an opportunity to conduct fully funded interdisciplinary research under the Sustainable Transitions Leverhulme Doctoral Training Programme at the University of Essex. With the substantial influence of social media and online information platforms, there has been a notable surge in the rapidity, frequency and volume of information dissemination. This proliferation often comes at the cost of information quality. This issue is pronounced in climate and sustainability, where conflicting viewpoints and vested interests frequently give rise to misinformation.
Application Deadline: open until filled
3. Fully Funded PhD in Managing the environmental impact of antifouling biocides in recreational marinas through stakeholder engagement
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This is an opportunity to conduct fully funded interdisciplinary research under the Sustainable Transitions Leverhulme Doctoral Training Programme at the University of Essex. Antifouling coatings protect vessels from marine biofouling (growth on the hull), which would otherwise increase fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. However, most antifouling coatings contain toxins that are released into the environment. While commercial vessels conform to strict rules, recreational boats are less regulated with regard to fouling-control practices.
