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...

PhD opportunity at Newcastle University in the School of Engineering on bridging physics and Earth Observation for real-time flood mapping . This project focuses on geospatial foundation models , remote sensing , machine learning , hydrology , and civil engineering to build a national-scale flood prediction system for the UK. The research aims to combine satellite-derived embeddings (including Sentinel data and potentially higher-resolution imagery) with hydrodynamic simulations to improve flood...

Funded PhD project at Abertay University in collaboration with the University of Dundee on the thermomechanical behaviour of energy piles under complex loading conditions . The project sits at the intersection of civil engineering , geotechnical engineering , environmental science , and shallow geothermal energy , with a strong focus on energy geostructures , ground source heat pumps , and low-carbon heating for net-zero infrastructure. The research aims to understand and measure the thermomecha...

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...
