3 Fully Funded PhD Positions at the University of Hull, England

The University of Hull is offering multiple fully funded PhD positions in various research areas. If you have a Master’s degree and are interested in pursuing a PhD, these opportunities might be of interest to you. Here are details about some of the available positions:

1. Computational Modelling of Insect Energy Budgets to Determine the Impact of Changing Environmental Conditions

Summary:
This fully funded PhD position is part of a multi-disciplinary project funded by UKRI (BBSRC). The project aims to understand and predict how the thermo-nutritional developmental environment affects the life history of key UK wild bee species and its implications for pollination services. As a PhD student, you will develop computational models that contribute to predicting how environmental variables impact the life history of these bee species.

Application Deadline: October 2, 2023
Apply: Computational Modelling of Insect Energy Budgets

2. Association of von Willebrand Factor Genetic Variation and Levels with Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes

Summary:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant cause of mortality. This fully funded PhD position focuses on the genetic variation of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and its association with clinical outcomes in cardiovascular diseases. You will explore how VWF genetic variation and levels can predict CVD outcomes and potentially inform personalized therapies for patients.

Application Deadline: September 29, 2023
Apply: Von Willebrand Factor Genetic Variation and Cardiovascular Disease

Summary:
This fully funded PhD opportunity revolves around investigating musculoskeletal adaptations in birds, specifically in relation to extreme biting capabilities. Birds like parrots and cockatoos are capable of generating high bite forces relative to their body size. Your research will explore the anatomical and biomechanical adaptations that allow these birds to generate such forces through their beaks.

Application Deadline: September 22, 2023
Apply: Musculoskeletal Adaptations in Birds
