2. Fully Funded PhD in Autonomous Bioactivity Searching
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This 36-month funded PhD studentship will contribute to cutting-edge advancements in automated drug discovery through the integration of high data-density reaction/bioanalysis techniques, laboratory automation & robotics and machine learning modelling. This exciting project involves the application of innovative methods such as high-throughput experimentation to expediate the syntheses (and bioanalysis) of life-saving pharmaceuticals. The subsequent data will then be used to populate machine learning models to predict which molecules to synthesise next, to maximise the binding affinity of the molecules to a target protein.
Application Deadline: 11 October 2024
3. Fully Funded PhD in Metal Additive Manufacturing of Multi-Functional and Multi-Material Structures
Summary of Funded PhD Program
We seek a student who could lead the maturation of this multi-metal MetalJet technique, which offers substantial prospects in the direct manufacturing of multi-functional metallic structures. The successful candidate will develop a comprehensive understanding of the Drop-on-demand Metal Jetting process and the compatibility of dissimilar materials within the printed structure. There is a particular interest in exploring novel designs and manufacturing techniques for cartridges used in producing molten droplets. An ideal candidate should have experience or a strong interest in additive manufacturing, materials science, and computational mechanics but also be adaptable to learning and exploring new disciplines as the project evolves.

6. Fully Funded PhD in Packaging of GaN Devices
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Power electronics is a critical technology for many low-carbon energy systems such as renewable power generation and electric vehicles. Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices are thought to be the main enabler for the next generation power electronics. However, the adverse effects of parasitic components associated with the device packaging, circuit and system layouts, and the uncontrollability of device inherent characteristics are limiting the use of wide-bandgap (WBG) devices in high-performance power electronics converters.
Application Deadline: 30 October 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD in Digital-Twin Technology to Accelerate Development of Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Powered Aircraft
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Applications are invited for the above multiple research studentships to join the Power Electronics, Machines and Drives Research Group at the University of Nottingham. The PEMC group has undergone a significant period of growth and now has over 150 members, with 18 academics (including 7 full professors) and approximately 120 PhD students and post-doctoral research fellows. The group has excellent facilities for experimental work including approximately 2500m2 of research space and a construction and testing capability up to 5MW.

8. Fully Funded PhD in 3D Multi-material inkjet printing scale-up for functional structures and electronics
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Inkjet printing allows multiple materials to be 3D-printed concurrently, rather than sequentially. Discovering how to leverage this will open new opportunities in manufacturing: structural and medical components with mechanical and chemical properties that vary across dimensions, fully 3D-printed electronics integrated into structures, and responsive materials tuned to their environment. In this PhD studentship, we will develop the materials, methods, and designs to control the 3D distribution of differing functional materials, giving high-resolution control over graded properties, graded chemistries, and 3D-integrated components.
Application Deadline: 31 October 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD in high performance electrical machines with advanced cooling techniques
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The project will be based in the Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) Research Institute. PEMC is internationally renowned and one of the largest in its field. Comprising nearly 30 academic staff, around 70 Research Fellows and other research staff, over 100 PhD students, 12 technicians, and 20 project management and administrative staff, PEMC delivers high-impact research, and industrial collaborations.
