The nature of light-absorbing particles in the atmosphere represent one of largest uncertainties in climate models. Soot (black carbon) absorbs light across the visible spectrum, and quantifying its presence in the atmosphere is important both for air quality as well as climate impact. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) is a well-established method for sensitive and selective detection of trace gases as well as for the measurement of aerosol particles.
A fully funded, three-year PhD studentship is available at the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infections Disease (CITIID), where you will work in the Timms Lab using genetic technologies to study the function of E3 ubiquitin ligases.
Applications are invited for a 4-year EPSRC Industrial CASE PhD studentship in the group led by Professor Stuart Clarke. The project will develop an understanding of heat management during rapid charging of batteries. This predominantly experimental project will use facilities developed with a co-worker, and will screen new fluids and flow regimes to optimise the heat transport.
Applications are invited for a 6-10 week vacation studentship to be held between mid-June and end of September 2021in the laboratory of Professor Geoffrey L Smith in the Department of Pathology in Tennis Court Road, Cambridge.

Applications are invited for a fully funded four-year PhD studentship at The Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge, where you will work in the Tchasovnikarova Lab using genetic technologies to study chromatin biology.
This is a four-year (1+3 MRes/PhD) studentship funded through the Cambridge EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Resilience in a Changing World (FIBE2 CDT). The FIBE2 CDT aims to develop the next generation of infrastructure professionals who can create, shape and deliver the national vision for UK infrastructure.
The project is funded in collaboration with Costain who deliver integrated smart solutions to meet urgent infrastructure needs across the UK.

Current vascular bypass conduits have drawbacks (availability, patency and functionality) limiting their routine clinical adoption. The project focuses on the development of a bioengineered vascular scaffold that maintains patency and structural integrity after grafting, allowing integration/remodelling in vivo. The aims of the project are:
The EPSRC Doctoral Training Programme studentship aims to explore the adoption of digital technologies, such as the use of reconfigurable small scale production and supply platforms, supply chain data triggers, smart devices and companion diagnostics, within the context of adaptive supply chains for individual patient-centric healthcare. New treatments are emerging that suggest personalised treatments are highly desirable for several therapeutic areas but currently manufacturing supply systems cannot provide these products and services cost-effectively.
Funding is available to work on a 4 year iCASE supported PhD project as part of a collaboration between the University of Cambridge (bulk-sucon.eng.cam.ac.uk/) and Oxford Instruments NanoScience (https://nanoscience.oxinst.com/).
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the interface between academic and industrial research and development. Practical bulk high temperature superconductor magnets hold the potential to revolutionise the strategically important areas of nuclear magnetic resonance and quantum technologies.
