60% of the role will be spent on "Here I Am: AI-Assisted Life Story Work for Everyday Dementia Care", a feasibility project led by Dr Tom Lodge, in collaboration with co-investigators at the Institute of Mental Health and the School of Computer Science. Life story work is a well-established part of person-centred dementia care, helping people living with dementia to capture, preserve and share meaningful personal narratives with those around them. This project will co-design, develop and evaluate an AI-assisted system, using conversational AI and digital tools, that makes routine, low-burden life story work possible in home, community and care settings. You will play a hands-on role across every phase of the work: facilitating co-design workshops, shaping prototypes, conducting participant-facing research with people living with dementia and their family carers, collecting and analysing data, and helping translate the findings into a protocol for follow-on research.

The remaining 40% of the role will support Somabotics: Creatively Embodying Artificial Intelligence, an EPSRC Turing AI World-Leading Researcher Fellowship led by Professor Steve Benford. Somabotics explores how people "make meaning" through art and embodied experience, partnering with award-winning artists to create robotic artworks, from robots that embrace and groom people, to robots that dance and play music with them. By investigating these systems through an artistic lens, the project aims to create AI artworks that embrace ambiguity, evoke interpretation and champion improvisation. The post holder will help deliver soma design workshops and collaborations with artists, prototype with soft and rigid robots, run mixed-methods user studies, and contribute to the conceptual, methodological and ethical thinking behind the programme, as well as co-author papers and other outputs.

The post holder will be working with people living with dementia and their family carers, and conducting research that touches on sensitive personal experience, so the ability to build trust and rapport with participants, and a sound understanding of research ethics, safeguarding, data protection and informed consent, are central to the role.

The successful applicant will have practical experience applying AI and/or NLP tools, such as conversational agents in research or applied contexts, alongside strong analytical skills. Candidates should have experience of designing and conducting user studies with members of the public, including vulnerable or hard-to-reach groups, and be a confident, empathetic communicator. Experience of participatory or co-design methods, accessibility and inclusive design principles, soma design, robot prototyping and artist-led methods is essential, while prior experience in digital health and social care would be an advantage.

The post holder will work under the supervision of Dr Tom Lodge and Professor Steve Benford in the School of Computer Science, Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham, contributing to two live research programmes while also having the opportunity to help shape their own research profile and outputs.

Candidates should hold, or be near completion of, a PhD in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Digital Health, Psychology, or a related discipline.

The post will be available from 1^st December 2026 and is for one year.  Hours of work are full time (36.25 hours per week). The position is based in the School of Computer Science on our Jubilee Campus in Nottingham.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to tom.lodge1@nottingham.ac.uk. Please note that applications should not be sent directly to this email address.

Background: The transition towards electrified automotive and aerospace transport demands electric motors with increasing power density, efficiency and operating voltage without compromising reliability. These trends, together with wide-bandgap converters and fast-switching voltage waveforms, impose increasingly severe electrical stresses on winding insulation. The challenge is particularly critical in aerospace applications, where reduced air pressure can significantly increase the risk of partial discharge (PD) and accelerate insulation degradation. This PhD studentship will investigate and enhance the reliability of next-generation winding insulation systems, including emerging hairpin and Litz-wire technologies, under representative electrical, thermal, pressure and mechanical stresses. The successful candidate will combine extensive experimental testing with insulation lifetime modelling to study PD inception, degradation and endurance, and to develop approaches for predicting insulation lifetime under realistic operating conditions. The research will support improved insulation design and qualification for reliable next-generation electric motors, contributing to safer, higher-performance automotive and aerospace electrification. 

Applications for this PhD position are invited at the Power Electronics and Machines Centre, University of Nottingham. Based in a recently built £18M facility at Jubilee Campus, the Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) Research Group is globally renowned and one of the leading in its field. 

Entry Requirements: For this position, we are actively looking for candidates with 

• A master’s degree (e.g. MSc, MEng, MPhys, MRes or equivalent) in a relevant engineering or physical sciences discipline, such as electrical/electronic engineering, general engineering, mechatronics, physics, materials science/engineering, mechanical/aerospace engineering, or a closely related subject, is essential.
• A strong background or relevant experience in high-voltage engineering, electrical machines, power electronics, dielectric/insulation materials, or related areas would be advantageous.
• Knowledge of numerical/FEM simulation tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB.
• Programming/coding and experimental hardware skills are desirable.
• Strong analytical and mathematical skills.
• Passion for research and willingness to learn.
• Good presentation, communication and scientific writing skills.

Application details: To apply for this PhD position, please email the following documents to Hadi.Naderiallaf@nottingham.ac.uk 

• Cover letter outlining your motivation behind applying for this project. 
• Curriculum vitae (CV) detailing your academic background, research experience, and relevant skills.
• Academic transcripts of your qualifying degrees.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview, and the successful candidate will be required to make a formal online application through the University portal.

Eligibility: Due to funding restrictions this position is only available to UK candidates.
