1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Improving the efficiency of Hydrogen generation in electrolysis
Summary of PhD Program:
A fully funded PhD studentship is available under the supervision of Prof Colm Durkan, with a start date of 1 January 2025. Funding will cover the student’s stipend and tuition fees at the UK rate. As we strive to transition away from our reliance on fossil fuels, a number of alternative systems have risen in prominence, including electrification and the use of Hydrogen as a fuel. Hydrogen is traditionally created via hydrolysis of water, and the efficiency of this process is greatly increased by adding electrolytes to the water to increase its electrical conductivity.
Application Deadline: 2 October 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nanoscale Diamond Quantum Sensors for In-Situ Detection of Reactive Radicals in Fuel Cell Membranes
Summary of PhD Program:
A fully funded PhD under the EPSRC CASE conversion studentship is available at home student fee rates in the Department of Physics, Cavendish Laboratory, with a starting date of 5 January or 17 April 2025. Hydrogen fuel cells, based on proton exchange membranes (PEM), are being developed and commercialized for heavy duty transportation applications. This technology enables fully electric, carbon free, transportation with long range and rapid refueling. Key to the success of fuel cells in this market is extended durability over 30,000 hours, the equivalent of one million miles of operation.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Targeting the microbiome to treat chronic pain
Summary of PhD Program:
Chronic pain is a common cause of disability exacerbated by stress promoting a vicious cycle of pain, stress, and anxiety. Dysbiosis of the microbiome in response to negative early life experiences has been proposed to contribute to this through dysregulation of metabolite signalling within the gut-brain axis. Consequently, the goal of this studentship will be to understand the contribution of bacterial metabolites such as short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to the sensitisation of pain sensing nerves (nociceptors) in response to negative early life stress. Findings will be translated to human using clinical samples from people with dysbiosis and abdominal pain, normalised by treatment on a low FODMAP diet.
Application Deadline: 14 August 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Oncology
Summary of PhD Program:
This Senior Clinical Training Scholarship (SCTS) provides an outstanding opportunity to study for a postgraduate qualification in Medical Oncology and is available to start from 2nd December 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Scholarship will provide a solid foundation in all aspects of small animal medical oncology, including experience in radiation therapy, internal medicine, cardiology, soft tissue surgery, neurology, clinical pathology and gross pathology. The Queens Veterinary School Hospital is an approved training centre for both medical and radiation oncology. The main aim is to prepare the candidate for the examination for the European Diploma in Small Animal Oncology.
Application Deadline: 11 August 2024
