PhD position summary/title: People make Coventry: A study in relational place-making
This PhD scholarship embraces a ‘relational’ approach to place-making, according to which places are not ‘made’ by urban planners, policy-makers and politicians, but are in fact produced relationally by the many groups and communities that live and experience them. This entails focusing on cities as ‘networks of place productions’, and as the result of the coming together of diverse and often competing perspectives on the part of those who ‘make’ a place (Pierce et al 2011). Adopting this understanding of place-making, the PhD will centre on a theoretical, conceptual and empirical exploration of how local communities and actors, in their interaction with local institutions and urban planning processes, have ‘made’ the city of Coventry into the rich, diverse, complex and at times contradictory place it is today. The purpose of the PhD is to bring to light, critically examine and understand how community-driven civic, cultural, political and other forms of engagement and even activism have shaped either particular areas of Coventry, or the city as a whole. This will be an interdisciplinary project and we welcome a range of methodological approaches from both humanities and social sciences, and the use of creative methods and/or a co-production approach are especially encouraged.

PhD position summary/title: Irradiated Sensitised Cladding: Mitigation of Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking from Laser Shock Peening
The spent fuel pins of Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactors (AGRs), after service life, are managed in interim storage in ponds which makes the sensitised cladding susceptible to intergranular corrosion stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) and breaches. The cladding of fuel pins, in their service life, is subject to irradiation and operational loads causing susceptible microstructure prone to Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC). It is of vital importance to understand how clad mechanically responds to storage conditions, and how its behaviour is impacted by the degradation that forms in the storage conditions.
This project will look into the extent of chromium depletion and grain boundary attack in cladding due to combined thermal ageing and irradiation damage, residual stresses present in the cladding, corrosion rates of cladding in low and high pH aqueous environments, and how Laser Shock Peening (LSP) can be used as a mitigation approach for stopping possible crack initiation and arresting propagating cracks in the clad. This project will develop sound knowledge and understanding of the degradation phenomenon of cladding in storage conditions, environment assessment of storage sites, pond chemistry challenges, novel ways of demonstrating structural integrity, addressing mitigation, and enhancing safety standards.

PhD position summary/title: Atlantic Stories, Colonial Legacies and the Bodleian Library, 1650-1800
In response, this project proposes a series of case studies from within the Bodleian’s collections 1650-1800, to highlight early modern Atlantic colonial legacies and curatorial practice. Research questions include: what can an archival object or set of objects tell us about colonial activity? How has information about these objects been represented in Bodleian finding aids, both historically and currently? How has that created absences or silences relating to the history of empire?
The researcher will benefit from a multi-disciplinary team of supervisors and advisors. It is anticipated that the student will follow a two-month internship at the Bodleian to produce a mini research project that will support the dissemination of the PhD research and enhance future employability.

PhD position summary/title: Design and impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
The aim of the study is to facilitate the integration of AI in university teaching and learning, focusing on Higher Education (HE) teachers’ experiences with GenAI technologies. According to the 2023 Government Innovation Strategy (UK Innovation Strategy, 2023), GenAI could revolutionise the way teaching and learning is orchestrated to students leading to seamless, intelligent services that are more tailored to student’s needs.
Despite the acknowledged influence of GenAI across various sectors, its impact on HE has not been investigated particularly in light of the increasing use of generative services used for personalising the student learning experience. The influential ‘Intelligence Unleashed’ report (Luckin et al., 2017) emphasised that GenAI should not be perceived as a technological solution but as a process that enables understandings of how learning happens. However, teachers may feel overwhelmed by the complexity of using GenAI and the ethical and pedagogical implications of what it can offer.

PhD position summary/title: Energy transfer in rotating stably stratified turbulence
One characteristic of turbulent flow is that energy transfers from one length scale to another in a unique way referred to as the cascade of energy. This project focuses on understanding how energy transfers and cascades at synoptic scales (~1000 km, e.g., mid-latitude cyclones) and mesoscales (5–100s km, e.g., sea breezes) in the presence of rotation and stable stratification. To understand the origins of these energy transfers, we will perform direct numerical simulations using the global spectral method with extremely high precision to capture even the smallest scale present in the problem.
Research Impact: The outcomes of this project will contribute to improving weather prediction models and climate pattern analysis, advancing our understanding of energy transfer and cascade processes in atmospheric turbulent flows. Results will be shared through publications in leading journals and presentations at major fluid dynamics conferences.

PhD position summary/title: Predicting cognitive performance in ADHD with advanced deep learning and network analysis in functional neuroimaging (Deakin led)
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and or impulsivity. The diagnosis is based on subjective report, and as yet there are no objective biomarkers used clinically. In addition to the core symptoms, individuals with ADHD often present with a profile of cognitive deficits, that has been argued to results from lapse of attention. Being able to identify the brain networks and neural signature of an attentional lapse, will not only further our understanding of the neurobiology, but could also be used to monitor and predict cognitive performance, offering potential target for intervention.
This project aims to explore whether EEG and/or resting state fMRI can provide a quantitative and effective approach to identify a neural signature of attention lapses during cognitive task. Additionally, we would like to evaluate whether an integration of network-level analysis and deep learning techniques would improve the prediction compared with traditional methods.

PhD position summary/title: Experiences of using GenAI in assessment for teaching and learning in Higher Education
The rapid maturation of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) platforms such as Chat GPT have the potential to massively disrupt universities and industry, creating a watershed moment for higher education. With many easily available genAI tools now capable of completing common assessment tasks, and with detection tools proving unreliable and unsustainable, the emergence of genAI is causing academics and universities around the world to review the effectiveness of their assessment strategies and their capacity to assure that students achieve the learning outcomes associated with awarded qualifications (Dianova and Schultz, 2023). Students are also impacted as they navigate a new world where assistance to complete their work is more effective and more readily available than ever before. The need and opportunity to develop critical digital literacies for genAI in future work and private life is highlighted. Students will need to be capable of working with this technology, while also understanding its limitations, biases, and relevance to professional and social contexts (Bearman and Ajjawi, 2023).

PhD position summary/title: Two step parameter estimation for geological systems
Geo-energy systems have been and will continue to be important in the delivery and storage of large-scale energy. We will need to access geothermal energy, to store large volumes of hydrogen to supply the demand for winter heating, to store CO2 from industrial processes that cannot be decarbonised and over the next few decades to produce from existing hydrocarbon reservoirs. To manage geo-energy systems, one needs to understand the geology which controls the fluid transport properties, such as porosity and permeability. This understanding is reached by comparing the predicted response of possible geologies to the measured response.
The traditional one-step approach is to create a realistic geology, predict the response using a simulator and compare the result to the measurements. This process is iterated using numerical optimization algorithms. This is an expensive problem both in terms of the time taken and the cost of the simulations. In this project we are proposing to use a two-step approach using separate algorithms. First, identify the rock transport properties necessary to match the measured flows, without being constrained by the geology. Then to identify the geology that can reproduce the rock transport properties. This approach is expected to reduce the number of simulations needed and the total time and cost required to identify a solution.

PhD position summary/title: A Game-based Approach to Democratic Discourse in Digital Media
The project aims to investigate citizens’ experiences of political and democratic expression as enacted in digital platforms through gameful interventions. Managing the impact of digital spaces on democracy presents an increasingly substantial challenge. The integration of digital platforms into the political landscape is fundamentally reshaping the ways in which young creatives such as artists and content creators communicate, express themselves, engage in political discourse, access information, and participate in democratic processes (e.g. Rasmussen et al., 2016). While these platforms can foster democratic values by providing spaces for dialogue and civic engagement, they also pose substantial risks that can undermine democratic integrity (e.g. Sundberg, 2019). One of the primary concerns is the spread of disinformation and propaganda through these platforms, which can manipulate public opinion, fuel polarisation, and undermine trust in political institutions (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017).

PhD position summary/title: The peace potential of everyday economic spaces and practices in conflict-affected societies
Everyday economic spaces and practices give insight into how people in conflict-affected communities adapt to conflict and manage to continue with the necessities of everyday life. The research will consider the following questions that are so far under-researched in peace and conflict studies:
- Which everyday economic spaces are constructed in communities affected by violence?
- Who partakes in these spaces, and to what use?
- In what ways does economic cooperation encourage/drive acts of everyday peace
- How can everyday economic spaces enhance bottom-up peacebuilding in conflict-affected societies? These questions shift away from the predominance of macro-economic conflict transformation embedded in current peacebuilding paradigms. They focus on the necessity to bring food to the table amid precarious economic and security situations, as a pre-requisite for building peace.
This research will focus on two case studies using multiple methods, enabling comparison between places. The findings will offer insight into how everyday economic spaces and practices help overcome violence and tensions in conflict-affected societies, encourage cooperation in divided communities, and build peace from below.

PhD position summary/title: Practicing (Post-)Publishing (PPP)
We invite applications for PhD projects that challenge and intervene into the prevailing systems of scholarly publishing which prioritise research outputs (such as books and papers) as well as competitive, individualistic authorship models as the main metrics for academic recognition and success. This conventional approach often reduces scholarly works to commodities, neglecting the intricate socio-material processes of knowledge creation and sharing, which are inherently collaborative involving both human actors (authors, editors, reviewers, programmers) and non-human ones (digital texts, research cultures, technologies).
Doctoral proposals are welcomed that focus on how alternative approaches to publishing can foster collaboration and mutual support over individual competition, social processes over quantifiable outputs, and knowledge equity and diversity in scholarly publishing. This includes but is not limited to applications that explore publishing and editorial collectives in- and outside the university, publishing practices (including joint writing, open peer review, shared annotation, alternative licencing, and collective editorship), as well as open, processual, and versioned books. The members of the supervisory team have expertise in critical, experimental, activist, and academic print and digital publishing; radical open access publishing; social justice, knowledge equity and diversity in academia; as well as in curatorial studies and spatial practices. We welcome applications that focus on specific case studies, engage in practice-research, and/or want to conduct an experimental publishing projects.

PhD position summary/title: The role of health technology in menopause support: co-designing culturally and socially appropriate solutions
Social and cultural attitudes and values also contribute to these varied perceptions and experiences, meaning that effective support needs to take these factors into account. There is a growing range of technology emerging to assess and treat menopausal symptoms and offer help and support. There is, however, much debate about the use of ‘FemTech’ in terms of privacy, the nature of the advice offered, user control and empowerment, and accessibility to all.
With a focus on seldom heard voices, this interdisciplinary research will seek to explore a range of experiences and support needs related to the menopause.
The research seeks to identify and understand the needs and priorities of people experiencing the menopause through language-based and creative methods, investigating how such methods can facilitate the discussion of sensitive issues. The role of technology in menopause support will be considered, and the findings from the needs identification will be translated into design requirements for culturally and socially appropriate solutions.
The project will be supported by the NIHR Devices for Dignity HRC who specialise in the development of innovative health technologies for people with long-term conditions and have a key national role in developing technologies to improve women’s health.

PhD position summary/title: Transparency and Secrecy: The paradoxes of tech whistleblowing in the digital era
The EU, the UK and the US have whistleblowing laws which seem not to work for the protection of whistleblowers. Several tech scandals in the US as well as in the EU and the UK have raised concerns whether internal voices are heard. Several tech scandals in the US as well as in the EU and the UK have raised concerns whether internal voices are heard.
The ‘laissez-faire’ regulatory approach and oversight of the technological sector by national governments have left the tech industry with a wide margin of discretion on what they are developing. Grey legal areas, unregulated sectors, lack of understanding and the absence of ethical rules have created an uncomfortable and potentially not secure environment for consumers and citizens.
While technological advancements are important and necessary, their control and overview is essential to ensure the respect of the rule of law, societal and ethical values. Ethical and trustworthy AI is an important issue and whistleblowers may play a key role in safeguarding the ethical development and use of AI and other new technologies. This research aims to compare the technological sector in the EU, UK and US in terms of legislation, oversight, and ethical considerations. Once these are assessed, the research will focus on interviews with relevant stakeholders (empirical research). When the legal comparison is done and the interviews are completed, the research will map best practices and drawbacks and solutions will be presented on how to better protect whisteblowers in the tech sector as well as on how to enhance scrutiny.
