Nottingham Trent University is offering a 2027 PhD studentship through the Collaboratory Research Hub on connecting older communities through digital heritage, storytelling, and co-creation. The project investigates how heritage engagement and appropriate digital or immersive technologies can support healthy ageing, social inclusion, community belonging, and reduced isolation among older adults in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. It will focus on barriers including reduced mobility, accessibility...

The University of Exeter is recruiting a fully funded four-year PhD student for a project on AI-guided functional genomics of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, a major genetic risk factor for schizophrenia. The research will investigate how this genetic deletion shapes brain development and psychiatric outcomes. The interdisciplinary project combines stem cell-derived brain organoids, single-cell genomics, machine learning, neuroimaging, and clinical phenotyping to connect molecular mechanisms with hum...

PhD Project: Adaptive Collective Decision-Making in Robot Swarms The University of Southampton is offering a competition-funded Doctor of Philosophy project in adaptive and decentralised collective decision-making for robot swarms. The research asks how autonomous robot swarms can make robust decisions when information is incomplete, environmental conditions change, and previous decisions may become outdated. The project will investigate adaptive swarm subsets, dynamic consensus, information-dri...
