1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Materials Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Examples of the metal nanoparticles are gold for medical diagnostics and cancer treatment; iridium and platinum for clean energy (hydrogen); and silicon for photonics and solar. They will be characterised by state-of-the-art methods including XPS, SEM, TEM, dynamic light scattering, optical methods and mass spec. The production methods will combine atomistic and molecular (including protein molecule) deposition in vacuum with wafer and roll-to-roll technology, and post-processing to harvest nanoparticles on a scale beginning with grams, heading for kilograms and with the potential for tonnes – representing a revolutionary paradigm-shift in (bio) materials manufacturing at the interface between science frontiers and technological and medical applications.
Application Deadline: 1 August 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Civil Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a testing and analysis technique used by industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component, structure or system for characteristic differences or welding defects and discontinuities without causing damage to the original part. Among various NDT approaches, Ultrasound Testing (UT) and X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) are the main focus of this project.
Application Deadline: 31 July 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physical Geography
Summary of PhD Program:
One of most iconic sites in American dendrochronology is the National Historical Park at Chaco Canyon. Timbers from multi-storey pueblo houses such as the iconic ‘Pueblo Bonito’ were among the very first used in the development of the science of dendrochronology by A.E. Douglass (1929). Remarkably, of the 7,708 wood samples from Chaco Canyon currently held in the Laboratory of Tree Ring Research (University of Arizona) only about 36% could be dendrochronologically dated. This can be quite typical at such sites, where there is often a large quantity of shorter lived or complacent wood that has not been suitable for traditional dendrochronological work, but which never-the-less offers substantial potential to augment our understanding of the site and its environmental history.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Materials Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
This 4-year PhD position offers an exciting opportunity to join the STRIPS Project (Swansea Tata Research and Innovation Prosperity Partnership for Printed Perovskite PV). As part of the STRIPS project, which encompasses 4-6 PhD studentships across 5 research groups in Swansea, all commencing in 2024, you will be an integral part of a dynamic doctoral cohort. This unique opportunity provides the successful candidate with the chance to collaborate not only with peers in Swansea but with the vast network of projects on photovoltaics across the UK and beyond.
Application Deadline: 1 July 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sports Science
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to comprehensively assess the influence of hypermobility on balance and performance in children and to co-develop a scooter-based intervention to promote balance and physical activity engagement in youth. Specifically, by collaborating with schools and communities, we’ll develop a multi-component educational, safety and physical activity program specifically tailored to address the needs of children with hypermobility.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mechanical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
It is a unique, institutional-wide multi-disciplinary collaboration, which includes joint research and publication, student and staff exchange, joint PhDs and joint master’s programmes. Over 30 Joint Doctoral Degrees have been developed through the strategic partnership to date, across diverse subject areas, including medicine, engineering and law. Candidates spend 50% of their time in both Swansea and Grenoble and are jointly supervised by academic staff from both universities. Successful candidates receive a double degree from the Université Grenoble Alpes and Swansea University.
Application Deadline: 26 June 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Aerospace Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will investigate the recently identified need (discovered by the ICJM) for multi-physics understanding and modelling. Specifically, this project will investigate the thermal-mechanical relationship in assembled structures. The student will utilise a newly acquired environmental chamber to understand these previously not investigated aspects of these nonlinear joints. In addition to the testing, the student will also work towards developing a novel temperature-dependent nonlinear joint model.
Application Deadline: 26 June 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computer Science
Summary of PhD Program:
The project forms part of a wider effort for developing an effective VR HRI toolkit for improving interactive fluidity between robots and humans. The successful candidate will join the new Intelligent Robotics group in the Computer Science Department in the Computational Foundry in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Swansea University, in addition to interfacing with the established Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) FIT lab. The candidate will be working alongside other researchers on the FLUIDITY project on human-robot interaction, and those working on other real-world applications.
Application Deadline: 24 June 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computer Science
Summary of PhD Program:
Kihara and Pauly recently uncovered an intricate connection between computability theory and topology (“Point degree spectra of represented spaces”, Forum of Mathematics Sigma 2022). They associate a degree structure (called degree spectrum) to a topological space which reflects many of its topological characteristics. For example, the real numbers are associated with the Turing degrees. This connection already has been used to obtain new results in topology using computability-theoretic methods and vice versa, including solving a long-open question by Jayne on the number of sigma-homeomorphism types of Polish spaces. This project is about further exploring this connection.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Chemical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
The preservation of normal form and function of biomolecules is critical for sustaining life. When living organisms are exposed to conditions beyond a critical point, irreversible degradation or denaturation can occur. This project seeks to study the behaviour of protein solutions under varied conditions of both temperature and pressure and aims to observe the effect of these conditions upon physical attributes which are linked to natural function. The project will principally focus on biologically extreme conditions including negative pressure and/or supercooling of aqueous protein solutions i.e. studies will focus on the behaviour of biological materials under metastable conditions with respect to the phase diagram of water.
Application Deadline: 21 June 2024
12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sports Science
Summary of PhD Program:
The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the Torfaen Sports Development team and be based between their Pontypool site and WIPAHS, with a base at the Sport and Exercise Sciences Department, Swansea University. They will be responsible for collecting data via a variety of methods (both qualitative and quantitative) that assess the effects of the programme on the physical, mental, and overall health and well-being of women participating in #ifyougoigo and will ultimately oversee a comprehensive evaluation of the programme.
