Manchester Metropolitan University is advertising a fully funded PhD in Semantic Outcrop Reasoning , an interdisciplinary project at the intersection of computer science , geology , earth science , semantic modelling , 3D deep learning , and explainable AI . The project aims to rethink how experts interpret complex geological environments using semantic technologies, uncertainty-aware reasoning, and human-centred evaluation. The successful PhD researcher will develop skills in 3D data analysis ,...

Imperial College London is advertising a PhD project on coastal cliff instability due to extreme weather conditions , based in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering in London, United Kingdom. The project investigates how climate change , extreme drying , and heatwaves may trigger coastal cliff failure, with a focus on the hydromechanical response of unsaturated coastal geomaterials (especially the Mercia Mudstone Group). The research combines advanced laboratory element testing wit...

PhD Studentship at Manchester Metropolitan University, United Kingdom This project is titled Automated, Explainable Geological Interpretation of 3D Digital Twins Under Conceptual Uncertainty and sits at the intersection of geology, Earth science, computer science, and AI. The research focuses on interpreting 3D digital models of rock formations built from drone and laser-scan data, with an emphasis on uncertainty-aware and explainable AI for geological reasoning. The project aims to build a benc...

Postdoctoral opportunity in climate change and air pollution at the University of Edinburgh , School of Geosciences. The role is part of two UKRI-funded hubs: INHABIT (Indoor HABItability during the Transition to Net Zero Housing Hub) and HEARTH (National Hub on Net Zero, Health and Extreme Heat). The successful researcher will contribute to interdisciplinary work on outdoor air quality , outdoor-indoor exposures and health , emissions scenarios and interventions , co-development of an indoor he...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in Climate Resilience of Infrastructure to Rainfall (PGR-P-1395), supervised by Professor David Connolly in the School of Civil Engineering . This project focuses on how climate change-driven rainfall affects transport, geotechnical, and structural infrastructure. Research themes include rainfall-induced slope collapse, geotechnical instability, soil shrink-swell cycles, water ponding on roofs and bridge decks, structural overloading, drainage, and adap...
