PhD in Nuclear Thermal-Hydraulics and CFD: High-Fidelity Modelling of Boiling Flows for Advanced Nuclear Subchannel Analysis The University of Manchester in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research , University of Southampton , on sports acoustics and impact sound in cricket , with methods extended to baseball , golf , and tennis . The project investigates how ball–equipment impact sounds reveal performance quality, contact mechanics, and ball trajectory. It combines acoustic analysis , physics-based modelling , and machine learning to extract high-fidelity performance information from sound signals and to develop robust indi...

Two Research Associate/postdoc positions are open at the Quantum Software Lab, The University of Edinburgh, on the RubberDUQ project. The project sits at the intersection of quantum computing , quantum software , category theory , and programming languages . Working with Prof. Chris Heunen and the wider QSL team, the successful candidates will investigate the mathematical foundations of hybrid quantum-classical programming and help turn theory into practical tools, including compilers and optimi...
