PhD Studentship in Cardiovascular Development: “Pharyngeal endoderm transcriptional networks regulating aortic arch artery development and malformation”, funded by the British Heart Foundation

Newcastle University

Award summary 100% of home tuition fees paid; annual stipend starting at £21,114; research costs and travel to conferences. Overview Congenital cardiovascular malformations are the most common birth defects and remain a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Despite their clinical importance, the molecular mechanisms controlling development of the aortic arch arteries, which give rise to the major arteries supplying the heart and body, are poorly understood. This PhD project will investigate how the ph...

PhD Studentship - Computer Science: Empirical Security Assessment of AI Decision Engines in Cyber-Physical Systems

Newcastle University

Award summary 100% home fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £21,805 (2026-27 UKRI rates). Overview Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven decision engines are increasingly embedded into cyber‑physical systems (CPS) such as autonomous vehicles, smart grids, industrial control systems, robotics, healthcare devices, and intelligent transport infrastructure. While significant research has focused on improving the performance, efficiency, and autonomy of such systems, their empirical security...

PhD Studentship in Computer Science: Policy-Compliant Secure AI

Newcastle University

Award Summary 100% home fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £21,805 (2026-27 UKRI rates) Overview Artificial intelligence now supports high-stakes decisions in cybersecurity, finance, healthcare, and public services, where accuracy alone is not enough. Such systems must also respect legal, regulatory, contractual, or organisational limits on their use and disclosures. Enforcing these is hard when the data, the model, and the rules belong to different parties, none of whom can hand ove...

PhD Studentship: Mechanisms Driving Water use in Tree-based Agricultural Systems (TROPS lab, Newcastle University)

Newcastle University

Award Summary 100% Home fees covered and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £21,805. Research funds are available for the field and lab related aspects of the PhD research. Overview Trees are increasingly being incorporated into agricultural landscapes to provide shade, improve soils, support biodiversity, store carbon and protect farms from climate extremes. However, trees also use water, and the consequences of tree planting for water availability depend strongly on tree characteristics, root and ca...

PhD Studentship: Wildlife Connectivity Potential of Tree-Based Agricultural Systems (TROPS lab, Newcastle University)

Newcastle University

Award Summary 100% Home fees covered and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £21,805. Research funds are available for the field and lab related aspects of the PhD research. Overview Agricultural expansion and intensification are major drivers of habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss. Yet agricultural landscapes are not necessarily biodiversity deserts. Trees retained or planted within farms (TIFs) may provide habitat, food resources and movement pathways for wildlife. However, we know surprising...

PhD Studentship in Medicinal Chemistry: High-throughput Chemistry and Direct-to-Biology Testing to Accelerate Drug Discovery

Newcastle University

Award Summary 100% fees covered (home fees only) and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £21,805 (2026/27 UKRI rate). Additional project costs will also be provided. Overview Discovering a new medicine usually means making and testing candidate drug molecules one at a time, with each cycle of design, synthesis and testing taking months. This project will pioneer a faster way to do this: new chemistry methods that let around 100 candidate compounds be made, purified and tested for biological activity to...
