Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? University of Nottingham, England is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD in Social, Ancestry, Molecular and Biological Analyses of Cancer Inequalities
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Your project will examine the convergence of social, environmental, genomic and tumor biology factors that contribute to disparities in outcome in cancer patients of African ancestry. To do this you will use advanced immuno-histopathological techniques, including the state-of-the-art Akoya Phenocycler platform, to compare the tumour microenvironment of diverse patient cohorts. Your project will primarily focus on prostate cancer, but you will also have the opportunity to contribute to parallel projects focussing on breast and pancreatic cancers.
Application Deadline: 16 December 2024

2. Fully Funded PhD in Next-generation cancer diagnosis and treatment using integrated snake-like robot with optical imaging
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The cancer of the bile ducts affects around 3000 people in the UK each year and its incidence and mortality are increasing. We are seeking a Ph.D. student to join our multidisciplinary team developing a radical solution for better detection and treatment that uses ultra-thin snake-like robots and advanced optical imaging techniques. We aim to combine Raman spectroscopy, a powerful label-free analytical technique that measures the molecular composition of tissue by using light to excite molecular vibrations, with imaging techniques in optical fibres, hair-thin pieces of glass, for 3D mapping of cancer tissue.
Application Deadline: 07 February 2025
3. Fully Funded PhD in Health economic evaluation of community acquired pneumonia in the UK
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Pneumonia is a common illness that results in over 100,000 hospital admissions per year in the UK. Following hospital treatment for pneumonia, 55% of patients visit their GP within 30 days of discharge from hospital while 15% are readmitted to hospital within 30 days of discharge. Despite the high morbidity experienced and described by patients, there are few interventions that are currently in place to support recovery. To determine how to best intervene in a cost-effective manner, up to date cost estimates and quality of life measures for patients who have pneumonia treated both in the community and in hospital are required.

4. Fully Funded PhD in Identifying repurposed treatments for rare lung diseases
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This studentship, based at the University of Nottingham is aligned to the LifeArc. Translational Centre for Rare Respiratory Diseases. The Centre funded at £9.5M over five years is a national collaborative grouping that will change the research landscape for people affected by rare lung diseases. The studentship will focus upon modelling and drug discovery in one of the Centre’s exemplar diseases, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). LAM is a rare disease which almost exclusively affects women and is caused by somatic or germline mutations in the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) genes.
Application Deadline: 03 February 2025
5. Fully Funded PhD in Synthesis and characterisation and/or computational modelling and validation of next generation hydrogen storage materials
Summary of Funded PhD Program
We are seeking to recruit 4 highly motivated and enthusiastic doctoral students at the University of Nottingham to perform experimental and/or computational research aimed at developing novel metal hydrides and complex hydrides for energy storage applications. Efficient energy storage by hydrogen and hydrogen rich carriers is growing in importance and there is an exciting opportunity to join the hydrogen research team to investigate solid state energy hydrogen storage materials mainly for the compact storage and/or compression of hydrogen. Based in the Advanced Materials Research Group within the Faculty of Engineering, the successful candidates will work closely with Professors Martin Dornheim, David Grant, Sanliang Ling, and the hydrogen storage team at Nottingham.

6. Fully Funded PhD in Mechatronics system for hybrid manufacturing processing
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology, The University of Nottingham. Applicants are invited to undertake a 3 year PhD program in partnership with industry to address key challenges in on-platform manufacturing engineering. The successful candidate will be based at The Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology at University of Nottingham.
Application Deadline: 01 January 2025
7. Fully Funded PhD in Laser Beam Processing of Aerospace Materials
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The project will deal with study of a new laser processing method to enable in-situ surface treatment and repair of safety critical rotating parts and further understand the correlation between surface quality, metallurgical characteristics and functional performance of the components and the key process parameters. The project will deal with design of special process setups, testing its working principles and performances followed by assessment of the part quality; this will involve development of laser beam processing on specific aerospace materials, and model to understand the fundamental mechanisms of the process to identify optimal operating conditions and followed by surface analysis techniques (e.g. Scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction for residual stress measurements, Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy).

8. Fully Funded PhD in Design and simulation of stiffness-adjustable robotic systems for performing on-wing repair of aero-engines
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This project is in relation to the technical needs of Rolls-Royce to develop automatic and hybrid tooling solutions to enable in-situ/on-wing repair and maintenance of gas turbine engines. At the Rolls-Royce UTC at University of Nottingham we have developed robotic systems capable to navigate into crammed/hazardous environments, and perform inspection and active operations such as machining. This is driven by the need to complete repair tasks without disassembly of industrial installations.
Application Deadline: 01 January 2025

10. Fully Funded PhD in Resilient Chemistry
Summary of Funded PhD Program
In partnership with leading industrial stakeholders, we are launching a new collaborative approach to PhD projects. Our PhD projects will develop skills targeting the urgent need in transition to sustainable chemicals manufacturing. Our projects will define the next generation of multidisciplinary innovators driving the technologies and chemistries needed for Net-Zero economies. Successful candidates will benefit from a fully funded 4-year scholarship, which includes: fees, stipend (25/26 UKRI rate) and Research Training Support Grant.

11. Fully Funded PhD in Ultrafast dynamics of dissociative ionisation
Summary of Funded PhD Program
We are recruiting applicants for a fully funded PhD studentship in the School of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham to work under the supervision of Dr Patrick Robertson. The project will develop new instrumentation to study the molecular response to ionisation. Ionisation is a fundamental aspect of the chemistry of many environments, and a molecules initial response(s) to its new electronic configuration will ultimately dictates its chemistry. This research will build upon our prior experience(s) in electron-molecule collision dynamics, photo-ionisation and the chemistry of molecules in strong electric fields (www.nurd.org.uk/publications).
