Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is offering CSC/QMUL PhD studentships for Chinese nationals in the areas of soft robotics, tactile perception, intelligent manipulation, and embodied intelligence. These positions are part of a joint-funded scholarship programme with the China Scholarship Council (CSC), providing an excellent opportunity to join the Centre of Excellence for Advanced Robotics (ARQ) at QMUL. The research focuses on cutting-edge topics such as metamorphic robots for extreme re...

This PhD opportunity at the University of Liverpool, Department of Chemistry, offers a unique chance to contribute to the discovery of advanced CO2-capture materials using cutting-edge robotics and artificial intelligence. The project, co-funded by a financial gift from Google, aims to develop a global ‘Hive Mind’—a delocalised network that coordinates autonomous laboratory robots to accelerate the discovery of engineered porous materials for atmospheric CO2 capture. This interdisciplinary resea...

This PhD opportunity at Kingston University focuses on the development of adaptive and robust deep reinforcement learning algorithms for drone systems, with a particular emphasis on multi-agent robotics. As the complexity of robotic systems increases, there is a growing need for intelligent and cooperative decision-making among agents. The project aims to advance the state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence and robotics by designing novel approaches that enable drones to operate autonomously ...

These prestigious studentships are open to both UK and international applicants and are based within the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Engineering Science. The Podium Institute is dedicated to advancing research in sports medicine, engineering, and technology, with a special focus on the...

[Stipend at UKRI rate; funding covers stipend and likely tuition as per UKRI standards.] This PhD studentship at University College London (UCL) offers an exciting opportunity to develop a machine learning-accelerated NMR platform for the discovery of inhibitors targeting viral RNA polymerases (RNAPs). RNAPs are essential enzymes for viral replication and represent promising targets for antiviral drug development, with relevance to both RNA and large DNA viruses such as African Swine Fever Virus...

This PhD project at The University of Manchester focuses on developing a novel control framework for embodied decision-making in multi-robot coordination and task execution. As autonomous unmanned systems become increasingly prevalent in real-world applications, the need for robust and adaptive robotic swarms is critical for complex missions such as search-and-rescue and large-scale surveillance. These environments are often unknown, dynamic, and unstructured, requiring swarms to adapt, select a...

[100% fees covered and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £20,780 (2025/26 UKRI rate). Additional project costs provided.] PhD Studentship: Teaching Intelligent Agents to See, Think and Act with Vision and Language Newcastle University invites applications for a fully funded PhD studentship focused on developing intelligent agents that integrate vision, language, and action. This project aims to revolutionise how robots and intelligent systems perceive, reason, and act in dynamic envi...

King's College London is offering a fully funded PhD studentship through the EPSRC DRIVE-Health Centre for Doctoral Training, starting October 2026. The project, supervised by Dr Shan Luo (Reader, King's College London) and Dr Nicola Bailey, focuses on developing advanced myoelectric prosthetic hands equipped with bio-inspired tactile skins to deliver intuitive haptic feedback for social touch and dexterous manipulation.
