Engineering University of Huddersfield in United Kingdom

PhD studentship at Swansea University in next-generation ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors , with a research focus on characterisation and metrology of Ga2O3 for high-voltage power electronics , deep UV , and space applications . The project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in UK Semiconductor Industry Future Skills and is based at the £55M Centre for Integrative Semiconductor Materials , with collaboration with NPL Teddington . This is a strong fit for students interested in ph...

PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia, School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics, on developing a finite element based model for pellet relocation in nuclear reactor fuel. The project focuses on pellet-clad interaction (PCI) in nuclear fuel performance, with emphasis on modelling fuel pellet fragments, inertial behaviour, chemical species migration, and loss-of-coolant accident scenarios. The work compares and benchmarks modelling approaches in Abaqus and COMSOL, including the mo...

PhD opportunity in Atomic Quantum Technologies at the University of Bristol , School of Physics, with Dr Alex Clark and Dr Carrie Weidner . This funded PhD project focuses on neutral atoms for quantum-enhanced technologies , including atomic quantum memories for long-distance entanglement distribution, atomic magnetometers for precision magnetic-field sensing, and cold atom interferometry for displacement and rotation sensing. A major theme is the combination of atoms and integrated photonics to...

Northumbria University is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position on an EPSRC-funded project focused on sustainable de/anti-icing for cold-weather infrastructure. The project addresses ice accumulation on wind turbines, aircraft, and optical systems , aiming to replace energy-intensive approaches and PFAS-based solutions with a better strategy. The research combines novel slippery, PFAS-free coatings with active de/anti-icing using surface acoustic waves to shed ice on demand. The ro...

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the Swedish Research Council-funded SMILE project (Soundscape engineering with Metamaterial Innovation and LEarning) within the Division of Vehicle Engineering and Technical Acoustics. The project combines soundscape targets, acoustic metamaterials, physical modelling, inverse design, machine learning and perceptual evaluation to develop new acoustic design methods. The postdoc will work on models and design methods fo...
