PhD Opportunities in Aerospace Engineering

Doctoral (PhD) student position in Chromatin Dynamics and DNA Topology at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. The Baranello Lab is seeking a motivated doctoral student to join a project at the interface of chromatin biology , DNA topology , transcription regulation , and cancer biology . The research asks how topoisomerases are regulated during transcription, how transcription machinery controls topoisomerase activity, and how these mechanisms can be leveraged to identify new anti-cancer...

PhD opportunity in Colorectal Cancer Research at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. This doctoral position is focused on clinical and translational cancer research within the Colorectal Surgery research group led by Anna Martling and Caroline Nordenvall . The project aims to improve personalized treatment for colorectal cancer by studying the effect of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) after surgery in patients with specific genetic alterations in the PI3K signaling pathway. The work builds on...

PhD opportunity in Semiconductor Quantum Computing at QuTech, TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) , Netherlands. The Veldhorst group is recruiting a second PhD researcher to work on semiconductor quantum technology, with a focus on quantum control in semiconductor qubits. The research environment is embedded in QuTech, where the team develops scalable prototypes of a quantum computer and a quantum internet. Research themes include: novel semiconductor qubits with improved performance, scal...

PhD opportunity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Cognitive Robotics Department and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering , working within the EU-funded OPERA consortium and the Reliable Robot Control Lab . The project focuses on safe planning and decision-making under uncertainty for long-horizon robot autonomy , with an emphasis on methods that let robots operate safely and reliably over long time horizons in human-centered environments. The research sits at the intersection ...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at University College London (UCL) in Biochemical Engineering, in collaboration with AstraZeneca, on Beyond Newtonian: Digital Twins and Scaling Rules for Next-Generation Biologics Manufacturing . The project focuses on concentrated protein drugs that can behave like shear-thinning fluids rather than Newtonian liquids. The successful PhD researcher will develop rheological models for these biologics, integrate them into CFD-based process models , validate the models ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in robotics , mechatronics , computer vision , and environmental engineering . The project, titled Pervasive Robotic Control of the Invasive Alien Species Floating Pennywort (Hydrocotyle Ranunculoides) , focuses on developing autonomous aquatic robots to detect, collect, and manage floating pennywort in real river and canal environments. The research sits at the intersection of robotics , ecology , and environmental resilience . Possible research direct...

Exciting fully funded PhD opportunity in Bioinformatics and Precision Oncology at the Centre for Genomic Medicine . This project focuses on understanding why solid tumours are difficult to treat, particularly their molecular heterogeneity, complex microenvironments, and resistance to therapy. The research aims to identify tumour-driver-dependent pathways and vulnerabilities from genomic , transcriptomic , and other molecular datasets, validate computational targets in relevant solid tumour model...

Fully funded PhD studentships in Astrophysics are available at the University of Bristol , in the Astrophysics Group, School of Physics . The advertised research areas include Astronomical Foundation Models , Galaxy Formation and Evolution , and Ice Giant Atmospheric Modelling . These projects sit within astrophysics and broader physics, with possible links to scientific computing, programming, mathematics, and meteorology depending on the specific project. The studentships are described as limi...

Doctoral Researcher (PhD) opportunity in protein synthesis at the University of Helsinki, Finland. The project sits at the intersection of cellular biology, chemical biology, cell-free protein synthesis, cryoEM, gene editing, and orthogonal high-throughput screening. The goal is to discover breakthrough protein synthesis inhibitors and repurpose existing compounds, expanding the chemical and biological space of translation and its inhibition. This is a research-intensive doctoral position for a ...
