Thread-topic: Fully funded PhD opportunities in the EPSRC CDT in Sustainable Sound Futures

Recruitment is now open for the next cohort of PhD students in the EPSRC CDT in Sustainable Sound Futures. Details of the available projects and research topics can be found here: https://soundfutures.salford.ac.uk/2027-phd-projects/ There are a broad range of topics including ones led by perception:

Predicting Annoyance from Environmental Noise to Improve Impact Assessment (with ANC)
Understanding the Relationship between the Acoustic Characteristics of Barking, Dog Welfare, and Human Perception (with Dogs Trust)
Restorative Urban Green Space as a Public Health Intervention
Playful acoustics: The impact of space on _expression_, skill and enjoyment of music learners (with Harmony Works)
Sound and Music Processing in Dementia (with Age UK Sheffield)

PhD positions are fully funded. We're particularly keen to attract outstanding UK home students, especially women and other groups under-represented in acoustics research.

Application deadline: Early January 2027.
