This Doctor of Philosophy project at the University of Southampton explores cryogenic memristors as ultra-low-power adaptive calibration and memory elements for quantum-computing control electronics. The research addresses the quantum–classical interface, where control, calibration and readout electronics become increasingly difficult to scale as qubit numbers grow. Qubit drift causes device characteristics to change over time, creating a need for continuous recalibration. The project will inves...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds: Optimisation of Light Sources

This fully funded PhD project in the School of Design and Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour (LITAC) investigates how the spectral characteristics of light can be optimised for visual inspection tasks and how different lighting conditions affect human colour perception and performance.

The project focuses on spectrally tunable lighting, advanced LED lighting systems, metamerism, and applications where accurate colour discrimination matters, including healthcare, textiles, and cosmetics. It also explores potential improvements for colour-deficient observers and accessibility in visual environments.

Funding includes full academic fees, a maintenance stipend in line with UKRI rates, and an additional £10,000 LITAC grant for personal development, dissemination, and research consumables. Full-time awards run for 3 years.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must be eligible for the Home (UK) fee rate, normally hold at least a first-class or upper second-class honours degree in an appropriate discipline, and meet the English language requirement if applicable (IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each component or equivalent). Applicants must not already hold a PhD or be currently registered for one.

Key academic staff listed for the project are Professor Stephen Westland and Dr Kaida Xiao. Academic collaborators include researchers from the University of East Anglia, University of Cambridge, and University of Sussex, alongside industrial partners such as Apple, Verivide, and the Society of Dyers and Colourists.

The deadline for the scholarship application is 30 September 2026 at 5pm UK time. Applicants should first apply for a research place of study, then complete the scholarship application after receiving a student ID number.
