3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Health Technologies
Summary of PhD Program:
The EOCARE-5F initiative aims to transform older adult care by developing innovative, low-maintenance wearable devices optimised for 5G connectivity. To overcome the impracticalities of expecting older adults to carry mobile devices continuously, the project focuses on creating user-friendly wearables that can be “fit-and-forget.” These devices are to function without daily charging and minimal user interaction, leveraging cutting-edge 5G infrastructure to provide real-time data on essential health metrics like gait analysis and fall detection. The potential to directly transmit this data to healthcare providers can enable immediate interventions, enhancing the safety and well-being of older adults.
Application Deadline: 19 August 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physical Geography
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims to expand and develop the potential of using microscopic time anchors within the deep columns of the East Antarctic ice sheet and seabed deposits off the coast of the continent, focusing on challenging periods where time anchors are urgently needed. The project will make a direct contribution towards dating the iconic archives of the South Pole as well as providing new information about the past history of Antarctic eruptions. Use is made of archives that have already been collected and stored in freezers and warehouses in Europe. The project will use methods such as optical microscopy, chemical analysis with an electron microprobe and an ICP-MS system with laser ablation.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical and Health Care Studies (Biomedicine)
Summary of PhD Program:
There is literature suggesting that a lack of care in a patient’s mother tongue is associated with the severity of particular eye conditions at the time of diagnosis. More specifically, in the USA, non-English speaking glaucoma patients have worse results in their initial visual field test (Visual Field (VF) test) compared to English speakers (Altangerel et al.2009; Halawa et al.2022). But these studies did not see a link between the severity of disease progression and language.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
Normally the equations that determine physical systems, be it quantum field theory describing particle physics, or string theory describing quantum gravity, are too hard to solve exactly. However there are very special systems that have deep hidden symmetries that allow one to exactly solve these equations instead of using e.g. perturbation theory. The study of these integrable systems is a critical area in the intersection of mathematical and theoretical physics and string theory.
Application Deadline: 9 August 2024
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biomedical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Hydrogen is one of the leading candidates for the propulsion of next generation aircraft. Airbus’ Structures Test department is interested in continuously developing and refining an understanding of how materials and components behave when exposed to the cryogenic temperatures required to store hydrogen in its liquid form. The existing methods for instrumenting specimens for tests conducted at cryogenic temperatures are limited.
Application Deadline: 9 August 2024
