PhD Opportunities in Information Technology

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...

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...

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...

The University of Granada is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join IMIS-Lab in Spain. The project focuses on intelligent structural health monitoring and the assessment of infrastructure through advanced digital technologies. The research combines artificial intelligence , digital twins , and structural monitoring to support improved understanding and evaluation of infrastructure. The work is suited to candidates interested in applying computational and data-driven approaches to struc...

Baylor University’s Department of Biology is recruiting 2–3 funded PhD students for a Fall 2027 start. The research focuses on microbiomes and the ways microbial communities influence health, organisms, and environments. The group uses long-read metagenomics, microbial genomics, and bioinformatics to study diverse biological systems. Projects may address the relationship between microbiomes and childhood undernutrition, fish mucosal microbial ecology, and microbial communities in the built envir...

This UNSW Scientia PhD project investigates federated artificial intelligence for standardising head and neck radiotherapy data and modelling contour variation across hospitals. The research will use large, diverse and international radiotherapy imaging, anatomical structure and radiation-dose datasets to examine differences in clinical practice and develop AI models for more personalised cancer treatment. The project focuses on federated learning, allowing raw data to remain at local institutio...
