PhD Studentship: Next-Generation Fuels for Net-Zero Aviation Imperial College London in United Kingdom

[Full coverage of tuition fees, a generous travel budget, and an annual tax-free stipend of £23,805.] This PhD studentship sits within Imperial College London’s Brahmal Institute and its October 2027 Doctoral Programme in Sustainable Aviation (DPSA). The programme is framed around a system-wide sustainability theme, bringing together students working across aviation’s interconnected stakeholders, including airports, airlines, air traffic management, aircraft and passengers. The project focuses o...

PhD studentship at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Engineering on experimental investigation of phase change mechanisms in aircraft contrail formation . This fully funded project is part of the Leverhulme Trust research programme Bridging the scale gap: From non-equilibrium thermodynamics to contrails . The research combines laboratory experiments with high-fidelity numerical modelling to study vapour-liquid-solid phase transitions in aircraft exhaust plumes, with relevance to s...

The University of Leeds School of Mathematics is recruiting the 2027 cohort for its EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Fluid Dynamics. The programme is designed for students who want to use fluid dynamics to tackle real-world challenges through advanced mathematical and research training. This is an integrated four-year MSc + PhD pathway combining postgraduate study with doctoral research. Students will develop expertise in future fluid dynamics while benefiting from bespoke training a...
