PhD Studentship : Foundation AI model for assessing human influence on hydroclimatic compound hazards in the UK
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Growing evidence suggests that hydroclimatic compound events - where multiple hazards occur simultaneously or sequentially - are becoming more frequent and severe in some regions of the UK (Visser-Quinn et al., 2019). These events can lead to significant economic losses and are o…
PhD Studentship : Oceanography of the Pliocene sub-polar North Atlantic
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Northwest Eurasia owes its anomalously temperate climate to the oceanic circulation cell known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Regional warmth is maintained by northward-flowing Atlantic surface currents – including the Gulf Stream – that lose their hea…
PhD Studentship : The nature, importance and protection of British vertebrate fossil track sites
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Fossil tracks and trackways (a type of trace fossil or ichnofossil) provide highly complementary information to the body fossil record. Tracks are more abundant than body fossils as organisms have one skeleton, but may leave many of tracks in their lifetime, often occur in strati…
PhD Studentship : Microbial ecology of methane cycling in blue carbon ecosystems under changing climate
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Blue carbon ecosystems, such as coastal wetlands, saltmarshes and peatlands, store significant amounts of carbon through sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In fact, these ecosystems can store up to ten times more carbon per hectare than temperate forests, underscoring t…
PhD Studentship : Low-latitude Atmospheric Rivers Meteorology, forecasting and flood risk
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Atmospheric rivers are narrow bands of strong vertically integrated water vapour transport (IVT), conjuring the image of a river in the sky. This phenomenon has been studied extensively in relation to extreme rainfall in the United States, where they closely relate to the warm co…
PhD Studentship: Microbial Lipid Cycling in the Oceans an Integrated ‘Omics’ Approach
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Lipids, containing carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur, are a major component of all living cells and are constantly released into the oceans due to programmed cell death, viral infections and zooplankton grazing. Current estimates suggest that lipids can account for ~10% of …
PhD Studentship: Global Burden of Stratosphere-troposphere Exchange Induced Ozone Pollution Under Climate Warming
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Air pollution poses one of the greatest risks to health globally. As policy focuses on reducing NOx emissions, tropospheric ozone is expected to rise due to changes in precursor chemistry. According to the IPCC AR6 report, there is low confidence regarding the response of troposp…
PhD Studentship: Can a Tree Remember a Drought Understanding the Mechanisms of Tree Memory
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Trees are long living, sessile organisms that represent a fundamental component of most of earth ecosystems. Being immobile during their life, trees need to efficiently adapt to changes of environment and to stresses, in order to reach maturity and reproduction. Recent advanced i…
PhD Studentship: Atmospheric Chemistry of Hydrofluoroolefins: Spectroscopic and Computational Studies of Fluorinated Criegee Intermediates
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are a new generation of refrigerants designed as environmentally friendly replacements for older halocarbons. They have very low global warming potential and zero ozone depletion potential, leading to their rapid adoption in commercial and domestic syste…
PhD Studentship: A Climatic Framework for Cretan Civilisations
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
We are exploring how climate changes and extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and wildfires, shaped ancient societies on Crete. This island played a key role in the early Eastern Mediterranean history, serving as home to Europe’s earliest civilization, the Minoans, w…
PhD Studentship How Resilient are Complex Cliffs to Large Landslides in a Changed and Changing Climate
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Many coastlines host large landslide complexes that are marginally stable and could reactivate in response to climate change. Despite advances in remote earth surface monitoring, the complex relationship between landslides movement (strain) and rainfall remains challenging to mon…
PhD Studentship: Finding the Most Explosive Volcanoes on Earth
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
While advances in volcanology have revealed much about eruption processes, research has largely concentrated on a small set of well-monitored volcanoes, geographically skewed towards continental and northern hemisphere regions. This focus has left significant gaps in our understa…

PhD Studentship in Robotics and AI Robust Perception for Robots in Complex Processes Open World
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
From safer surgery to sustainable factories and net-zero supply chains, we increasingly rely on robots to do work that is difficult, repectitive, or chronically understaffed. To be truly useful, these robots must perceive, plan, and act in open-world conditions: never-seen object…
PhD Studentship : Modelling Exoplanet Atmospheres to Understand their Diversity
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Exoplanets span a diverse range of conditions, from ultra-hot Jupiters to lava worlds. The atmospheres of these planets provide an exceptional window into their properties, and can reveal the atmospheric compositions, formation histories and even interior properties of these exci…
PhD Studentship : Earth-like planets orbiting Sun-like stars
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
A mere thirty years after the first discovered exoplanet, we now know over 6000 known exoplanets. These come in a wonderful variety and exoplanet demographics studies have transformed our view of planet formation and evolution. Yet, we are still to find a true Earth twin or exopl…
PhD Studentship : Observations and methods to discover Earth-like exoplanets
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Finding out whether biology has arisen elsewhere in the Universe has likely been a question as old as humanity itself. At Birmingham we are leading on answering that question thanks to our participation in the only set of telescopes currently able to identify new habitable rocky …
PhD Studentship : Observations and methods to discover circumbinary exoplanets
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Circumbinary exoplanets orbit around both stars at once, like Tatooine in StarWars. Such planets are rare, but important to better understand the processes behind planet formation and orbital evolution. The project is about collecting data and analysing it in search for circumbin…
PhD Studentship : Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling of Stellar Populations for Exoplanet Host Characterisation
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Precise knowledge of stellar properties is the cornerstone of exoplanet science. Every measurement of an exoplanet’s radius, mass, and age depends critically on our understanding of its host star. Yet, many stellar and planetary parameters remain systematically uncertain due to l…
PhD Studentship: Quantum Nanophotonics with Molecules
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
This PhD project explores the intersection of quantum plasmonics and molecular photonics, aiming to measure quantum light emission from molecules confined within plasmonic optical cavities. Plasmonic cavities, with their ability to confine light at subwavelength scales, enable st…
