No summary provided for this position.

Two fully funded PhD positions are available at the University of Glasgow within the HyDETAILS project, a Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network focused on propulsion, electrification, and superconductivity . The positions are based in the James Watt School of Engineering and are supervised/advertised by Mohammad Yazdani-Asrami , Lecturer in Electrically Powered Aircraft and Operations. PhD 1: Power Electronics for Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft — this project explores how switches and power devices behave under different operating conditions, including room and cryogenic temperatures , and uses that knowledge to develop efficient converters and AI-assisted control for future aircraft propulsion. The work combines device characterisation , modelling, converter hardware, and experimental testing. PhD 2: Hydrogen Distribution and Transport Modelling — this project focuses on modelling and optimising the links between hydrogen production, distribution, and transport . The research examines how technology choices affect energy efficiency, cost, and safety , with the student placed in industry at Clyde Hydrogen Systems in Glasgow while the University of Glasgow awards the degree. The opportunities are 36 months long and are described as fully funded . Funding includes MSCA living and mobility allowances and a family allowance where applicable. The post also mentions a UK Global Talent visa route and notes that MSCA PhD candidates are typically paid more than UKRI PhD students. Applicants should be highly motivated MSc graduates with strong technical foundations, curiosity, and the ability to work hard on challenging research problems. Relevant backgrounds include electrical engineering, power electronics, control, energy systems, chemical engineering, or mechanical engineering , depending on the project. Candidates of any nationality may apply, subject to MSCA eligibility and mobility rules . Deadline: 21 March 2027. How to apply: Email your CV and a short note explaining which project interests you and why. Use PhD 1 or PhD 2 in the subject line. Informal enquiries can be sent to [email protected] .
