PhD Opportunities in Civil Engineering in Turkey

This PhD project at Maastricht University focuses on the development of humin-based recyclable networks for adhesive and composite applications. The work is embedded in the NWO project KICHumins , a public-private partnership bringing together academic and industrial partners to advance more sustainable materials. The successful candidate will join the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials (AMIBM) within the Faculty of Science and Engineering and work in the Sustainable Polymer Synt...

This FNRS fellowship supports a full-time PhD project in Belgium and is open across all research areas. It is funded by the F.R.S.-FNRS, the public research funding body for the French-speaking part of Belgium, and is intended for doctoral research at one of five French-speaking Belgian universities: UCLouvain, ULB, ULiège, UMons or UNamur. The award provides a monthly research fellowship and also includes a budget for research costs managed by the supervisor, helping to cover the practical need...

[3.5-year PhD studentship with a tax-free annual stipend at the UKRI rate of £21,805 for 2026/27 (subject to annual uplift) and tuition fees fully covered.] This PhD studentship at The University of Manchester explores advanced modelling and simulation for particle-based long-duration energy storage systems. The project combines computational fluid dynamics , high-fidelity multi-physics modelling, and physics-informed artificial intelligence to understand how high-temperature particle thermal st...

[Fully funded three-year PhD studentship with annual stipend in line with UKRI levels (£21,805 in 2026/27, uprated annually) plus tuition fees (UK/Overseas).] The University of Southampton Law School is offering a fully funded PhD studentship within the Stefan Cross Centre for Women, Equality and Law . The project sits inside one of the School’s research centres and is designed to strengthen the Centre’s work on discrimination against women and girls, the causes of gendered inequality, and possi...

[4-year PhD studentship with annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate (currently £21,805 per year) plus £1,000 per year enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full 4-year programme.] This PhD studentship at The University of Manchester investigates how microbes sense and respond to anthropogenic molecules released from discarded plastics. The project is framed around a major environmental and biological question: whether microbial communities can detect small-...

[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant. International students are eligible for up to 30% of the cohort; funding does not cover moving or residing costs in the UK.] This PhD studentship at the University of Birmingham is part of the CENTA 2027 programme and explores how wildfire affects the ability of soils to consume atmospheric trace gases after fi...

[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant.] This PhD studentship focuses on how contrasting managed landscapes can be used to improve soil carbon sequestration, soil biodiversity, and tree health across a network of open spaces managed by the City of London Corporation. The project is set within the Corporation’s Carbon Removals Programme, which includ...

[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant. International students are eligible up to 30% of the cohort, but funding does not cover additional costs of moving or residing in the UK.] This PhD studentship focuses on the microbial cycling of lipids in the ocean, combining laboratory and field-based approaches to understand how marine lipid compounds are tr...

[Offered through the CENTA3 DLA and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant.] This PhD studentship investigates how trees may retain a molecular “memory” of drought and other environmental stresses across time. The project is built around the idea that epigenetic information, especially DNA methylation, can be preserved in tree tissues and potentially reflect past environmen...
