PhD Studentship University of Nottingham, UK

PhD Studentship: Advanced Rolling Element Bearing Lifing Methods: The Quantification of Surface and Subsurface Damage using Surface Roughness Data at University of Nottingham, UK
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship (3 years) to work within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham in association with SMT.
Project Background
Bearings play a crucial role in the design/operation of many machines and, as the world places greater demands on efficiency and reliability, there develops a tremendous need for the accurate prediction of bearing failure/degradation. A PhD project, supported by SMT, is due to commence at the University of Nottingham in the field of bearing failure prediction and applications are invited from prospective students. More specifically, research is to be conducted in applying/developing analytical approaches reported in the literature for the quantification of surface and subsurface damage in rolling element bearings. The work will look to:
Determine surface roughness profiles for deep groove ball and cylindrical roller element bearings.
Determine local pressure fields for “rough” surface conditions (using a mixed lubrication model and assuming a range of loading conditions) and consequently the surface stress distributions.
Evaluate damage contributions due to surface and subsurface (Hertzian contact controlled) loading profiles and estimate the likelihood of failure.
Package analysis methods in an easy to use the computational toolbox.
Eligibility
Full funding (fees and stipend) available for UK and EU candidates. International candidates are encouraged to apply but are advised that the studentship will only cover the fees (no stipend).
Candidates must possess or expect to obtain, a 2:1 or 1st class degree in Engineering or a Physical Sciences related discipline. Applicants with a Mechanical and/or Materials Engineering background are strongly encouraged to apply.
Candidates will be available to start on 1st October 2018.
How to apply
Please send a copy of your covering letter, CV and academic transcripts to james.rouse@nottingham.ac.uk referring to the project title. Please note applications without an academic transcript will not be considered. Informal enquiries also to be sent to Dr James Rouse.

PhD position in Social Work at the University of Edinburgh, UK

A generous donation from the Julie-Ann Macqueen Trust will fund a PhD Social Work scholarship researching and benefit one-parent families. Award One award covering tuition fees at the Home/EU fee rate, a maintenance stipend of £14,000 and a research grant of £500 is on offer to applicants for PhD Social Work in the School of Social and Political Science. Awards are made for one year in the first instance and are renewable for up to a further two years (pro-rata for part-time students), subject to satisfactory academic progress. Students liable to pay international fees may combine the Macqueen Scholarship with other Scholarships (such as the Edinburgh Global Research Scholarship), to cover all fee costs. This award has been made possible by a generous donation from The Julie-Ann Macqueen Trust. Ms Macqueen played a leading role in bringing the struggles of single-parent families to the attention of the public and policy and law-makers. Eligibility This award is available t

Research Fellow positions are available in the laboratory of malaria parasite biology at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

1. Erythrocyte signalling during Plasmodium falciparum merozoite invasion. The project will focus on establishing the erythrocyte signalling cascade activated during the ligand-receptor interaction and aims to identify critical erythrocyte proteins involved in signalling. The project aims to develop a more tractable system to directly investigate erythrocyte signalling molecules during merozoite invasion. Requirements: • PhD in Biosciences or related fields • Strong background in biochemistry and cell signalling transduction • Excellent communication (written and verbal) skills • Strong interpersonal skills for collaborative working, to be self-motivated, well organised and focused The suitable candidate will be initially offered a one year contract. This is renewable for up to three years in duration. Please include code “MOERF” in the email subject header in the application for the above position. 2.
