PhD Studentship in Tidal Stream Energy (CoTide Programme) University of Oxford in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Strathclyde (Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering, NAOME) on hydroelasticity of floating platforms for tidal turbines . This fully funded 3-year studentship focuses on the interaction between platform flexibility, waves, currents, turbine loading, and floating tidal turbine performance. The project combines marine hydrodynamics , structural dynamics , fluid-structure interaction , and numerical modelling for offshore renewable energy s...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in turbulence, drag, rough surfaces, and fluid mechanics . This project, based in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, investigates how roughness geometry changes turbulent boundary layers and drag. The research combines advanced wind-tunnel experiments, 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV), and direct drag measurements to build new geometry-dependent drag models and expand an internationally used roughness database. The work is hig...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in Particle-Fluid Interactions in Environmental Flows . This project sits in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics research group and focuses on how fluids and particles interact in major environmental processes such as ocean plastic pollution , air pollution , sediment transport , and coastal erosion . The work may use experimental , theoretical , numerical , or combined approaches depending on the student’s background and interests. You will have ac...

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 Studentship at The University of Manchester in minewater geothermal systems and closed-loop geothermal technologies . This project, titled MINELOOP: Investigating MINEwater Systems using Closed-LOOP Geothermal Technologies , focuses on how borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) and suspended high-density polyethylene U-tube systems interact with flooded minewater voids. The research aims to develop low-risk, high-performance geothermal energy solutions that can support net zero targets and local en...
