About this position

[4-year PhD studentship with an annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate (£21,805 per year) plus £1,000 per annum enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full 4-year programme.]

This 4-year PhD studentship at The University of Manchester explores how circular business models and strategic collaboration can improve the sustainability and resilience of electric vehicle battery value chains.

The project focuses on the transition from linear to circular battery systems, examining how end-of-life batteries can be reused, repurposed, and recycled. It looks at how manufacturers, recyclers, and other industry actors can coordinate investments, share information, and develop viable circular strategies that support critical material recovery and value creation.

The research is positioned at the intersection of business model innovation, strategic coordination, and quantitative modelling. It aims to generate new knowledge on how collaboration, investment decisions, and changing market conditions shape the performance and resilience of circular battery ecosystems.

The project uses evolutionary and agent-based modelling to study these dynamics, making it relevant to students interested in computational approaches to sustainability challenges and industrial decision-making. The studentship is supervised by Dr Okechukwu Okorie, who invites prospective applicants to discuss the project before applying.

The award is part of a competitive funding process, and the strongest applications are expected to be successful.
