College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences.
Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded PhD Studentships We are the UK’s fastest-growing research university 1 and consistently rank amongst the best in the UK 2. We are looking for the brightest and best postgraduate researchers to continue with us on our journey.
The EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship scheme is intended to help universities recruit and retain the very best newly qualified PhD students, and help them launch careers in research.
Duration: 48 months (starting on 1st October 2020) The Centre for Doctoral Training in Advanced Characterisation of Materials, a joint centre between Imperial college London, University College London and Trinity College Dublin has a PhD studentship available in the Department of Materials on Fundamental understanding of electrode-electrolyte interfaces in novel batteries.
Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) train PhD studentships across all areas of a Research Council’s subject remit. They may have specific areas of expertise, based on available supervisors and facilities, but the studentships they have available can be used for a broad range of projects.
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Resilient Decarbonised Fuel Energy Systems aims to bring together the expertise of the Universities of Nottingham, Sheffield and Cardiff, industrial sponsors and cohorts of high-calibre doctoral students in to tackle major challenges facing industry and society.
For students who carry on to the PhD, a thesis must be submitted and will be assessed via an oral examination with an internal and an external examiner. The thesis will have to comply with the rules and regulations set out by the department in which the student is registered for his or her PhD.
Applications are open for up to 12 PhD studentships, tackling challenges in engineering and physical sciences. These four-year studentships are offered through cohort-based doctoral training programmes. This means that you will study alongside other PhD students and receive tailored training and support.
