Research Fellow in Soil Imaging and Computed Tomography (X-ray, synchrotron imaging, soil science) Cranfield University in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at The University of Manchester in collaboration with Peking University on marine-based carbon dioxide removal (mCDR), engineered nanoparticles, phytoplankton, clay particles, heteroaggregation, and settling in seawater conditions. The project investigates how engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) interact with phytoplankton and natural colloids such as clays, how heteroaggregates form and sink, and how these processes can be measured and modelled. The research combines experimental wo...

PhD position opening in Active Soft Matter Physics at the University of Twente , The Netherlands. The vacancy is titled “Synthetic Active Matter: Unravelling 3D Real-Space Dynamics” and appears to focus on research in active matter, soft matter physics, and the dynamics of synthetic active systems. This is a PhD opening rather than a postdoctoral or master’s opportunity. The post does not mention funding details, stipend, tuition coverage, or specific eligibility requirements beyond the research...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Physics and Astronomy on Development of Cd-Free Quantum Dot Biosensors . This experimental project sits in Molecular and Nanoscale Physics and focuses on the synthesis of cadmium-free quantum dots , nanoparticle surface functionalisation, and the development and testing of fluorescent biosensors . You will work on incorporating quantum dots into hydrogels and polymer film matrices to improve sensing performance, with hands-on training i...

This PhD at the University of Nottingham explores how high-powered laser processing can support the circular economy through advanced, flexible materials manufacturing and recycling approaches. The project has two main experimental themes. First, it will investigate disassembly and reuse of end-of-life composite components, building on previous work that has demonstrated laser cutting of carbon fibre composites (CFRP). The contactless and highly programmable nature of laser processing makes it w...

Durham University’s Department of Physics is recruiting for PhD and postdoctoral opportunities in statistical physics , biophysics , and soft matter . The newly started research group led by Avishek Das studies how information is processed in living systems using the physics of soft matter, including noisy and intercoupled mechanical and chemical modes across multiple timescales. The research theme is centered on the emergence of intelligence in soft matter, combining theoretical and computation...
