Does the Earth magnetic field spin up the polar vortex in the outer core?

The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Professor Alban Potherat. Applications are invited for a PhD position in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics within the project "Does the Earth's magnetic field spin out the polar vortex in the outer core?", funded by the Leverhulme Trust, at the Research Centre for Fluid and Complex Systems (FCS) at Coventry University.


Pilot of a teacher training intervention to deliver student-centred motor learning pedagogical approaches

This project is a pilot of a teacher training intervention to deliver student-centred motor learning pedagogical approaches and improve primary school children’s motor competence and motivation in physical education


Addressing GPCR conformational flexibility

The large G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family is a highly interesting target for drug design because a large proportion of current drugs bind to its members, and because the family offers much potential to exploit new targets.


Investigating the function and substrate interaction network of ABHD16A, a novel regulator of protein S-acylation

This study aims to characterise the molecular mechanisms and functions of a novel APT, ABHD16A.


Comparison of RR intervals and heart rate variability between disposable and reusable electrocardiography leads

The aim of the project is to assess heart rate variability using novel disposable ECG leads in healthy subjects, and to assess the agreement between heart rate variability measures obtained using disposable and reusable electrocardiography leads.


Learning 4 All: A Framework for Disability Inclusion in Research and Education

Funded by the British Council Going Global Disability Inclusion Partnerships, Learning4All brings together Coventry University, Manchester Metropolitan University, and Pakistan’s National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) to advance disability inclusion in higher education. Guided by an Advisory Board of senior academics, policy leaders, and disability advocates from both countries, the project is grounded in co-creation with staff and students with disabilities, ensuring that lived experience shapes every output, from the national needs assessment to the development of inclusive principles and gender-responsive curriculum resources.


Hamilton Studio, Bombay: the first twenty years after partition

This project will digitise negatives, prints and documents at Hamilton Studio from the twenty years after Partition (1947-67), a period of change and political flux in India and of mass migration to the UK.


Data scientists develop mathematical models to understand COVID-19 intervention strategies, informing public health policy in South Africa

A project led by Coventry University’s Centre for Data Science (CDS) has developed mathematical models to predict outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa.


Data scientists develop decision-making tool to improve treatment of COVID-19 patients

Coventry University and Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) joined forces during the pandemic to develop a tool that hopes to ease the COVID-19 burden on the NHS.


REsilient Water Innovation for Smart Economy (REWAISE)

REWAISE will create a new “smart water ecosystem”, mobilising all relevant stakeholders to make society embrace the true value of water, reducing freshwater and energy use.


A Status Market Approach to the Electric Vehicles Market

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are being promoted for their potential for reducing CO2 emissions, local air pollution, and dependence on oil imports. However, their uptake has remained slow despite heavy investment in upstream technologies and production, and a raft of economic incentives to potential consumers. This research will consider the interdependency between manufacturing and services in the context of the interactions between networks of producers, business services and consumers. In doing so, it will enable us to assess how different approaches to consumers can help to develop the EVs market.


DRAGONS: Diffusing biodiversity Response-able Action and awareness raising through citizen empowerment, inclusive engagement and innovative GOvernance of Nature and Society

DRAGONS (Democratising Response-Ability for Biodiversity Futures) is a Horizon Europe research and innovation project that seeks to transform how societies engage with biodiversity loss. Bringing together partners from across Europe and Latin America, the project explores why awareness of environmental problems does not always lead to action and develops innovative approaches that help individuals, communities, institutions and policymakers move from awareness to meaningful change.


New product could revolutionise personalised treatments for diseases

Personalised treatments for conditions like cancer and motor neurone disease could become much more accessible thanks to advances in cell and gene therapy by university scientists.
