1.ESRC CASE Studentship. Cultivating inclusive ‘place-based’ entrepreneurship support across the UK: Exploring the impact of the British Library’s Business & Intellectual Property Centre (BIPC) national network

University of Liverpool Management School

Liverpool

United Kingdom

Supervisor：Dr B Giordano & Dr M Li

Application Deadline：Friday, March 20, 2020

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Project Description:

In recent years, there has been increased debate amongst academics, policy makers and politicians alike about how to deal with the backlash from so-called ‘places that don’t matter’. These places suffer from economic decay, are often characterised by entrenched social exclusion and poor or precarious employment opportunities. In response, ‘place-based’ economic development interventions have become more prominent, especially in European and (sub-) national economic development policy. A key element of such ‘place-based’ policies is to encourage entrepreneurship and endogenous small firm creation via business support initiatives. Focusing upon the UK, there are distinct territorial differences in small firm birth and attrition rates across the country. Moreover, the outcomes of business support programmes are mixed, especially in less developed localities. The policy dilemma, therefore, to which this research contributes, is how can business support programmes be implemented in an inclusive way, tailored to territorial needs across the country, to improve the birth and growth rates of small firms. Specifically, the research focuses upon a ‘place-based’ UK-wide business support programme, namely the British Library’s (BL) BIPC national network. First established in 2006, the BIPC currently has a total budget of £3.7m and operates 12 centres, spread geographically across England and Scotland. Each centre provides tailored, free or low-cost access on business and IP through a range of services. Through its unique ‘open door’ approach, the BIPC provides inclusive support for beneficiaries from ‘all walks of life’ to develop, protect and commercialise their business ideas.

3.Modelling and Analysis of Flow-Induced Vibrations of Steel Catenary Risers Conveying Multiphase Flow

Robert Gordon University,School of Engineering

Aberdeen

United Kingdom

Supervisor：Dr H Zanganeh & Dr M Hossain

Application Deadline：Wednesday, April 15, 2020

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Project Description

Robert Gordon University, through the School of Engineering is offering a PhD studentship with tuition fees funded for Home/EU or International applicants.
This is a fees-only funded PhD studentship provided by the School of Engineering and interested candidates will have to secure their own financial support to upkeep their living costs.
Marine risers are widely used for offshore oil and gas transportation in the deep waters. These flexible risers conveying oil and gas flows may be subjected to internal dynamic fluctuations associated with the spatio-temporal variations of phase densities, velocities and pressure drops. For their engineering integrity and safety, it is crucial to understand the potential structural dynamics resulting from both external and internal excitation loads. So far, the majority of research studies have been focused on structural dynamics of marine risers due to external loading with few also accounting for internal single-phase flows. A comprehensive study of the vibrations of production risers due to space-time variable internal and external multiphase flows is still lacking.
In this project, a three-dimensional phenomenological model for the analysis and prediction of vibrations of a long catenary riser will be developed. The riser conveys multiphase flow and is subjected to an external oscillating flow. This semi-empirical theoretical model will consist of nonlinear structural equations of coupled cross-flow, in-line and axial motions excited by fluctuating hydrodynamic lift and drag forces as well as internal flow dynamics. In-house experiments will be carried out at the School of Engineering wave tank to verify the model predictions. The experiment will be conducted using a pipeline riser system consisting of a horizontal pipeline and a flexible riser which are submerged in the wave tank. The test rig will be instrumented with flow meters and pressure sensors. Image processing techniques, ideally using high-speed cameras, will be used for monitoring of the internal flow regime and measuring structural vibration. These studies are complemented by direct numerical simulations through computational fluid dynamics which will provide more in-depth insight into the mechanisms initiating and controlling this fluid-structure interaction problem.
Applications should be emailed to Dr Hossein Zanganeh at h.zanganeh@rgu.ac.uk. The applications should consist of a covering letter or personal statement of interest, and a CV.
Deadline for receipt of applications is 15th April 2020.
It is expected that candidates are available to register and commence study in October 2020.

5.Targeting metabolic vulnerabilities in human prostate cancer

Newcastle University

Translational and Clinical Research Institute

Newcastle

United Kingdom

Supervisor：Dr R Heer

Deadline：Wednesday, April 22, 2020

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Project Description

Number of awards：1
Start date and duration
28 September 2020

Overview
Prostate cancer is strongly associated with ageing and a major clinical problem for older men. It is the UKs commonest male cancer and one in four have fatal disease. New therapeutic approaches are urgently required and vulnerabilities in cancer metabolism related to mitochondrial respiratory chain oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) offer such opportunity. Accumulation of age-related mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which encode for OXPHOS protein complexes, is a major phenomenon in the prostate and our recent work revealed that specific deficiencies are tolerated in cancer (complexes I and IV). This studentship aims to generate an innovative prostate cancer model harbouring specific mitochondriopathies for preclinical drug testing. The student will use established techniques to deplete mitochondria from iPSCs and replace with organelles from an archive of characterised mutated mitochondria. These modified iPSCs will generate prostate organoids and the student will test established drugs targeting specific OXPHOS complexes. Additionally, this work will define treatment sensitivities in the context of specific nuclear driver mutations, appreciating co-operation between both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, to reveal translationally relevant vulnerabilities for precision-medicine clinical trials.
