PhD position summary/title: Mechanisms of Interoception and Stress in Medically Unexplained Symptoms
Throughout history, the interrelatedness of mind and body has been known to physicians and patients for millennia. Despite this, treating conditions that involve complicated iterations of this relationship has proved difficult and continues to constitute a barrier to the effective care of many patients in the medical system. One contributing factor is that many physicians and mental health professionals still have a dichotomous view of medical conditions as belonging to either pathologies of the “body” or of the “mind” .Medically Unexplained Symptoms refers to physical symptoms or conditions that do not have an identifiable organic cause or clear disease classification. Multiple psychological and biomedical theories have been proposed to explain MUS, highlighting dysfunctional stress responses across various physiological axes (such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, inflammatory responses, and cardiovascular responses) and interoceptive dysregulation. The knowledge regarding the interaction between these mechanisms is still incomplete. Existing research often focuses on a single mechanism, stress test, physiological stress axis, or a specific MUS condition, leading to fragmented understanding.The overall aim of this project is to investigate mechanisms of MUS by means of multimodal data, by combining MRI, EEG and ECG, and behavioural paradigms which will aim to explore Interoceptive mechanisms and attentional biases. We will use an ’emotional stress induction’ procedure, to explore Interoception, central brain networks and attentional bias before and during emotional stress.The PhD student will play a crucial role in conducting in-depth research on the interplay between mind and body in conditions like Medically Unexplained Symptoms. Their responsibilities will include:- Conducting a comprehensive review of existing literature on MUS, related psychological and biomedical theories, and multimodal data research methods.- Assisting in the design and development of experimental protocols, particularly those involving MRI, EEG, and ECG data collection, as well as behavioural paradigms for exploring interoceptive mechanisms and attentional biases.- collecting and analysing multimodal data from study participants. This may involve operating MRI and EEG equipment, processing, and interpreting data- Preparing research papers and reports based on the findings of the study for publication in scientific journals and conferences.The PhD student’s work will be critical in advancing our understanding of MUS and may potentially contribute to the development of more effective treatment approaches for patients with these conditions. The project offers an exciting opportunity for the student to gain valuable research experience and make meaningful contributions to the field of medical science and patient care. Prospective PhD students with a background in Neuroscience, Psychology, or Neuroimaging are strongly encouraged to apply for the project. However, having this specific background is not an absolute requirement for consideration. The selection process will involve an interview with the Supervisor, during which candidates will have the opportunity to showcase their enthusiasm and interest in the topic of the project.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Studentship in Experimental Particle Physics
CMS group makes a significant contribution to the study of top quark production in proton-proton collisions using CMS data. The group also plays an active role in the maintenance, operation and upgrading of the Silicon Tracker, having contributed to the construction and commissioning of this detector and the current end cap electromagnetic calorimeter. We are looking to recruit a student to study the production of the top quark in both Standard Model and Beyond the Standard Model scenarios using CMS data from Run 2 & 3 and to contribute to activities related to the upgrade of the current CMS tracking detector. Successful applicants will also contribute to detector performance studies. A period of long-term attachment at CERN is associated with the CMS studentship.

PhD position summary/title: BCAST/ Investigation of deformation modes in the development of manufacturing-induced property enhanced AA6xxx series Aluminium Alloys
This project is in partnership with Constellium who are leading the way in lightweighting the future generations of sustainable vehicles by the development of high strength AA6xxx series aluminium extrusion alloys, with tensile yield strength (Rp0.2) above 400MPa and >10% elongation. Innovative thermomechanical processing routes have been developed to achieve the best combinations of strength, ductility and crack resistance and further reduce weight. The process involves a pre-aging step carried out after extrusion and quenching followed by a plastic deformation processing step and subsequently a post-deformation artificial ageing. The deformation process increases dislocation density by interaction with the precipitates formed during pre-ageing.

PhD position summary/title: Advancing Aluminium Extrusion for Side Sill Structures: Integration, Digitalisation, and Sustainable Innovations
Applications are invited for one full-time EPSRC Industrial CASE (ICASE) PhD studentship for the project “Advancing Aluminium Extrusion for Side Sill Structures: Integration, Digitalisation, and Sustainable Innovations”, at Brunel University London, starting from 1st April 2023. BCAST is a speciality research centre in metallurgy with a focus on processing of metallic materials for lightweighting applications. See www.brunel.ac.uk/bcast for more information. The project is sponsored by Constellium, a global leading manufacturer of high-quality technically advanced aluminium products and systems. Successful applicants will receive an annual stipend (bursary) of £20,662 plus payment of their full-time home tuition fees for a period of 48 months (4 years).

PhD position summary/title: EDEM Drag Force Model Investigation of Predict Pick-up Efficiency of Gravel
Applications are invited for one full-time PhD Studentship within Brunel Design School research and PhD programmes | Brunel University London funded by Bucher Municipal Ltd. Industrial partner and Brunel University London. The PhD studentship is for a period of three (3) years effective 1 April 2024. The successful applicant will receive an annual stipend (bursary) of £ 20,662 and the annual full-time tuition fee will be charged direct to the College.
The proposed project aims to investigate the experimental and EDEM drag force model in order to accurately predict the pick-up efficiency of gravels. By conducting a series of experiments and analysing the data obtained, it intends to assess the validity and reliability of the EDEM drag force model. This will involve comparing the predicted pick-up efficiency of gravels using the EDEM model with the actual experimental results. Through this investigation, it used to enhance the understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing gravel pick-up and improve the predictive capabilities of the EDEM drag force model.
