[Funding information states £21,805.] University of Warwick is offering a PhD studentship on NSF Swarf: A novel forging process for closed-loop recycling of metallic swarf . The project addresses a major challenge in manufacturing: machining can remove 60–90% of a component’s material, creating large quantities of swarf that are often discarded and mixed with other grades. This studentship explores a patented near-solidus forging approach in which pre-compacted swarf is heated to just below the ...

Imperial College London is advertising a postdoctoral research position in contrail science and mitigation within the Brahmal Institute for Sustainable Aviation and the Department of Aeronautics . The project focuses on understanding condensation trails (contrails), their role in aviation’s climate impacts, and how to more effectively address and eliminate them. The post is aimed at a quantitatively minded PhD candidate with strong analytical skills and a strong interest in sustainable aviation ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Nottingham in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering , focused on the wear of articulating spline couplings for aeroengine applications . The project combines experimental studies and numerical modelling to improve understanding of spline coupling wear behaviour in gas turbine transmission systems. This is an EPSRC Industrial Doctoral Landscape Award (IDLA) studentship with industrial involvement from Rolls-Royce plc . The studentship is hosted by N...
