PhD Positions in Archaeology in China

Örebro University is seeking a doctoral student for research education leading to a PhD in psychology at the School/Department of Behavioural, Social and Legal Sciences. The position is linked to a research environment where psychology is studied alongside criminology, social work and law, creating a broad interdisciplinary setting with opportunities for collaboration across subject boundaries. The PhD project is situated within the psychology unit and focuses on anger-related problems and emoti...

Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is offering a part-time graduate internship in sociocognitive modeling focused on the characterization and analysis of information operations and influence. The project sits within the 711th Human Performance Wing and brings interns into a research environment that combines computational modeling, theory-driven social science, and practical questions about how information spreads and affects behavior. The work centers on understanding how information propagat...

This predoctoral research assistantship at Texas A&M University is centered on a research project in economics and finance that studies the economic returns to federal investment in research and development. The successful candidate will work directly with Dr. Andrew Fieldhouse in the Adam C. Sinn '00 Department of Finance, Mays Business School, and Dr. Karel Mertens of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. The main project task is to build, verify, and document a new narrative dataset on postwar ...

This EngD project at the University of Twente focuses on standardizing fieldwork and data management for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) measurements at the university’s Utility Mapping Site (UMS). The project addresses a clear research gap: although many GPR systems are available, there is no systematic method for collecting, documenting, and comparing measurement data across systems and environmental settings. You will work on developing a consistent protocol for GPR field measurements, includi...

This PhD project explores how living microorganisms can be used as environmental sensors and memory systems . Rather than relying on conventional disposable electronics, the research asks whether organisms that naturally integrate environmental signals can be decoded to reveal the conditions they have experienced over time. The student will work on understanding the visual and structural responses of microorganisms to different environmental conditions, then build computational methods that can ...

INRAE Doctoral Contracts are salaried PhD positions hosted by France’s national research institute for agriculture, food and the environment. The institute has around 272 research units across France, giving doctoral researchers access to a wide national research network. These contracts support doctoral research linked to INRAE’s scientific areas, especially agriculture, food, ecology and the environment. The position is structured as a work contract rather than a stipend, so doctoral researche...

[Annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate currently £21,805 per year, plus £1,000 per annum enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full 4-year programme.] Sub-cool is a 4-year PhD studentship at The University of Manchester that explores how urban aquifers could be used as reliable, sustainable resources for geothermal cooling in a changing climate. The project brings together hydrogeology , climate change , and social science perspectives to study both the ph...

This PhD project is part of the University of Cologne’s interdisciplinary initiative “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress” , which examines how altered hydrology reshapes floodplain sediment dynamics, biodiversity, food webs, microbial processes, and greenhouse gas emissions. The advertised doctorate focuses on soil microbial nutrient stoichiometry and soil-atmosphere exchange in river floodplains. The successful candidate will investigate how nutrient constrain...

[Competition-funded dual award scheme; applicants are instructed to enter “Dual award funding” in the application form. The advert notes that not all advertised projects will necessarily offer a place on the programme.] This PhD project explores mineral–fluid–rock interactions in subsurface geological formations and how these coupled processes shape the performance and integrity of technologies central to the energy transition. The research is set against applications such as geothermal energy e...
