PhD Opportunities in Computer Science

Qinmin Zheng’s research group at Beihang University is inviting outstanding international applicants for fully funded master’s and PhD opportunities supported by the 2027 Chinese Government Scholarship High-level Postgraduate Program. The group investigates computational fluid dynamics and turbulence, with particular emphasis on high-speed compressible flows. Students may also work on scientific machine learning for fluids, data assimilation, and flow reconstruction, combining numerical fluid me...

The University of Vienna’s Faculty of Computer Science is offering two PhD positions within the FWF project EXOSPHERE – Efficient, Expressive and Robust GNNs . The research focuses on graph neural networks (GNNs), with emphasis on developing methods that are efficient, expressive, and robust. The positions are hosted by the Theory and Applications of Algorithms area, providing a research setting centered on theoretical and applied algorithmic computer science. Successful doctoral researchers wil...

The International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems at The University of Manchester is offering a PhD project on neuromorphic systems for low-latency and efficient multimodal processing, with a particular focus on speech and language technologies. Working with Luca Peres, Oliver Rhodes, and Patrycja Strycharczuk , the doctoral researcher will investigate how brain-inspired computing approaches can transform the way machines process and understand speech. The project combines neuromorphic audio and...

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) is seeking a PhD student to join a research group working at the intersection of quantum field theory, quantum simulation and quantum complexity in Barcelona, Spain. The research combines analytical and numerical approaches to quantum field theories and strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. Potential topics include lattice gauge theories and their quantum simulation, quantum complexity, entanglement and non-Gaussianity, tensor networks, numerica...

Politecnico di Torino is seeking a PhD candidate to join its Multi-Scale Modeling Laboratory (SMaLL) through the newly funded EIC Pathfinder Open project IONFLUX. The project explores whether artificial intelligence and molecular-level understanding can be combined to discover entirely new energy-storage materials. The doctoral researcher will focus on adaptive materials for next-generation sodium batteries, working at the intersection of molecular simulations, machine learning, and materials sc...

Aarhus University is recruiting a PhD student for a project on dynamic flood exposure in Denmark and the question of where people will live as flood risk increases. The research addresses a major limitation in long-term flood-adaptation planning: projections often assume that households and buildings remain fixed in their current locations for the next 80–100 years. The PhD project will model how household location decisions influence future flood exposure and how these changing patterns can inf...

The Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL) is recruiting a PhD researcher to join Nicola Molinaro’s Brain Rhythms and Cognition group in Donostia–San Sebastián, Spain. The PRO-LISTEN project examines how the adult brain adapts to learning and understanding an additional language. The research focuses on Spanish and Basque and uses naturalistic speech, longitudinal magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings and computational modelling to investigate language-related brain dynamics ove...

Kuehne Logistics University is offering a PhD opportunity within UNITY, a new research project developed in collaboration with the Kuehne Climate Center. The project addresses a central challenge in sustainable logistics: how accurate are transport-emission estimates, and what are the consequences when decisions depend on inaccurate estimates? The doctoral researcher will help develop a unified, open-source model for estimating emissions across all major transport modes. The model will bring tog...

Simon Fraser University is inviting applications to its research-focused PhD programme in Linguistics for the Fall 2027 intake in Canada. The programme is designed for scholars pursuing advanced research on how language is structured, acquired, used and varied across communities. Potential research directions include language acquisition and cognition , linguistic diversity and variation, meaning and language use, phonetics and phonology, linguistic theory, and computational approaches to langua...
