Overview
Applications are invited from exceptional candidates across Engineering, Science and Mathematics to take advantage of an outstanding opportunity to become involved in exciting groundbreaking research in composite materials and structures technologies. This four-year fully funded programme includes a taught element in the first year, which will fast-track graduates with Science and Mathematics backgrounds to acquire core engineering skills and promote the exploration of the interfaces between Science and Engineering. Those with Engineering backgrounds will broaden their scientific skills before specialising in either composite materials development or application.
Our vision is two-fold: we aim to deliver highly skilled people to the industrial sector and develop the next generation of composite materials technologies. We expect 50% of studentships to work closely with industry on projects with nearer-term application, and 50% to work on more open 'blue-sky' projects at the interface of Science and Engineering to produce the multifunctional composite materials of the future. In all cases students will gain significant exposure to, and engagement with, our numerous industrial partners.
The technical aspirations of the ACCIS DTC are:
•to stimulate adventurous research, across unexplored interfaces between established composites research and Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Medicine;
•to challenge current approaches and rules that limit composite performance by developing novel solutions;
•to increase composite functionality; and
•to develop the design methodology and innovative application of 'next generation composite materials'.
This is a unique opportunity to become involved in exciting and groundbreaking research in composite materials and structures technologies:
•10 places are available annually on the four-year cross-disciplinary PhD programme
•Successful applicants will be offered enhanced EPSRC studentships of > £16K per annum
•Year 1 contains mini-projects and taught courses, and PhD projects are selected by students towards the end of year 1
The Advanced Composites Centre for Innovation and Science was established in 2007 and is made up of over 70 researchers, many of them working on industrially relevant projects within the Aerospace Industry.
Application Procedure:
Successful applicants who are UK citizens will receive four-year studentships covering living expenses and fees. EU citizens who have been resident in the UK for 3 years or more are also eligible for the full studentship. Fees only support is available for other EU citizens.
Application deadline: 18th December 2009
