EPSRC funded Ph.D. studentship (3½ years)
Department of Computer Science
Applications are invited for a Ph.D. student to work on an EPSRC funded project entitled “An Interactive and Intuitive Object Deformation Framework for Interactive Multimedia Applications” in the Department of Computer Science. The aim of the project is to develop techniques to improve object deformation performance and quality, and to offer a novel interface for specifying deformation constraints and manipulators. The research will lead to high quality interactive deformable object processing and usage. It will also benefit various industry sectors, including product or engineering design, medical applications, digital entertainment and computer gaming.
Prospective candidates will have a good honours (or equivalent) degree in Computer Science or other relevant subjects. The successful applicant should have a good background in most of the following areas: computer graphics, multimedia systems, mathematics and computer programming.

The Institute of Hazard & Risk Research and the Department of Earth Sciences, Durham University, seeks a highly motivated, high calibre student with aspirations to develop a career in volcanic hazards. You will join Dr Claire Horwell’s team which specialises in the health hazards of volcanic and other mineral dusts.
This fully-funded 3-year PhD scholarship is available to UK, EU and international students (subject to English language tests). We seek graduates with a BSc (2:1 or higher) or MSc in Earth Sciences or related subject, with a knowledge of volcanology, petrology and mineralogy. The project is trans-disciplinary, involving training in both mineralogical and toxicological techniques, thereby providing the student with the breadth of experience required in order to pursue a career in the field of Natural Dusts and Health.
The student will work on the research project:
Volcanic cristobalite formation: A global study for the assessment of health hazard Supervised by: Dr Claire Horwell (IHRR, Earth Sciences, Durham University); Prof. Ken Donaldson (Centre for Inflammation Research, Queens Medical Research Institute, Edinburgh University).
