Faculty of Science funded studentship

The University of East Anglia is offering a full-time PhD studentship in Human-Referenced Colour Processing, based in the Colour & Imaging Lab in Norwich, United Kingdom. The project will investigate how human and machine vision systems perform dynamic range compression, a key stage in photographic and image-processing pipelines. The research will compare biologically plausible architectures with modern machine-learning systems. It will build on Retinex theory, known brain physiology, and numeri...

[Fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD Studentship at the University of Exeter: Computer vision to predict falls from everyday movement in older adults . This project addresses an important clinical problem: falls are a major cause of injury-related hospital admission and death among older adults, yet current risk assessment methods are limited because they usually rely on brief one-off clinical tests. The project will use real-world-inspired movement data collected in the ST...

[Funding includes fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] This PhD studentship at the University of Exeter focuses on developing digital movement biomarkers to detect depression, anxiety, and fatigue in older adults, including people living with and without multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) . The project sits at the intersection of computer vision , artificial intelligence , functional movement analysis , and health research , with the goal of creating scalable, objective tools...

PhD grant opportunity in Computer Vision at the Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial (CSIC-UPC), within the Robotics Group in Barcelona, Spain. The project is framed under the predoctoral Call FPU2026 and supports research in computer vision, with a specific interest in world models and video understanding. This is a full-time temporary PhD position for up to 4 years. If the PhD thesis is completed before the end of the grant, the remaining time may continue as a postdoctoral orientatio...
