PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge with Miri Zilka and Thomas Roulet on agentic AI , responsible machine learning , and the changing nature of work. This opening is aimed at interdisciplinary students who want to study how AI systems are reshaping workplaces, tasks, and organizational practices. The post highlights research with Miri Zilka, Assistant Professor in Responsible Machine Learning, and Thomas Roulet, suggesting a strong cross-disciplinary environment spanning computer scie...

PhD opportunity at the University of Sheffield in the project SPIDER: Serifluidic Processing In Disruptive Engineering Robotics (S3.5-CMB-Holland). This project sits at the intersection of materials science , robotics , biopolymer research , mechanical engineering , and chemical engineering . The post highlights a highly creative research direction involving silk, a silk gland, and a robot arm to explore how silk can be spun and processed in a disruptive engineering context. The opportunity is b...

Funded PhD opportunity at Coventry University in the Centre for Discoveries in Life Sciences, delivered through the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP). This project focuses on bioleaching , tantalum recovery , superalloy waste , critical minerals , and environmental biotechnology . The research will investigate microbial mechanisms for mobilising tantalum from superalloy-processing wastes and selectively removing contaminating metals such as calcium and tungsten. It co...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at University College London (UCL) in Biochemical Engineering, in collaboration with AstraZeneca, on Beyond Newtonian: Digital Twins and Scaling Rules for Next-Generation Biologics Manufacturing . The project focuses on concentrated protein drugs that can behave like shear-thinning fluids rather than Newtonian liquids. The successful PhD researcher will develop rheological models for these biologics, integrate them into CFD-based process models , validate the models ...
