Sensing Circular Cities: Testing Low-Carbon Construction Materials through Urban Living Labs (FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship) The University of Manchester in United Kingdom

The University of Cambridge is offering a four-year 1+3 MRes/PhD studentship through the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Unlocking Net Zero, in collaboration with Network Rail. The project investigates low-carbon cements and alternative cementitious binders for lower-strength and lower-risk applications across Great Britain's rail infrastructure. Potential applications include walkways and kerbs, blocks and pavers, drainage channels, cable troug...

[Full tuition fees and a tax-free stipend of £18,000 per year.] Applications are invited for a funded PhD studentship at the University of West London focused on AI optimisation of green roofs and green facades for low-carbon, heat-resilient buildings . This project will develop an AI-enabled decision-support framework to evaluate how building-integrated green infrastructure can reduce operational carbon, lower building energy demand, and improve thermal comfort in urban settings. The research b...

University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship within the EPSRC FIBE3 CDT (Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Unlocking Net Zero) in collaboration with Tracey Concrete . The project is titled “Next generation low-carbon crack-resistant precast shaft and tunnel segments” and sits at the intersection of civil engineering , materials science , and concrete technology . The research will investigate commercially available and emerging low-carbon binder blends , susta...
