This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025.
Early application is encouraged, as excellent candidates may receive an early offer of a funded place before the end of the year. This project aims to scale-up the use of structural stone by providing new design methods, tools and solutions for structural engineers, thereby contributing to the decarbonisation of construction. Working closely with both academics and practicing designers, current barriers will be identified and addressed. This might involve producing reliable, repeatable, and optimised design solutions which designers can pick up ‘off-the-shelf’, working with manufacturers to create new products, or developing rigorous physical testing protocols to streamline the burden for individual projects.
The successful candidate will have a strong technical engineering background, with an interest in structural design innovation and a desire to collaborate with practitioners in developing practical, low carbon solutions.
Candidate requirements:
Applicants must have, or be about to obtain, a UK Honours degree 1st or 2.1, or international equivalent.
Non-UK applicants, who are not currently studying in the UK, must meet the programme’s English language requirement before the application deadline – no exceptions will be considered.
Highly motivated candidates with a strong background in Civil Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Architecture, Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, especially with experience in experimental methods, material testing, sustainable construction techniques, or structural design, would be well-suited to this PhD position.
Funding Notes:
Candidates may be considered for a University of Bath (URSA) studentship tenable for 3.5 years. Funding covers tuition fees, a stipend at the UKRI rate (£19,237 p/a in 2024/25) and a £1000/annum training budget.

Informal enquiries are encouraged! Direct these to Dr Will Hawkins - wh604@bath.ac.uk
