We are recruiting three PhD candidates with one student assigned to each of the Departments of Materials, Chemical Engineering and Design Engineering.
Are you interested in circular economy, advanced low-carbon materials, decarbonisation technologies, sustainable chemical processes and recycling, and systems thinking for the future automotive industry?
We are looking for PhD candidates for a cross-departmental initiative on sustainability in collaboration with a major British luxury car manufacturer. The positions will commence in January 2024 (or as agreed).
The initiative will recruit three PhD candidates, with one student assigned to each of the Departments of Materials, Chemical Engineering, and Design Engineering.
The PhD positions are fully funded by the EPSRC iCASE scheme and sponsored by a major British luxury car manufacturer. Each studentship provides both stipends and covers home tuition fees for four years. The scheme includes a minimum 3-month placement at the industrial sponsor and joint supervision with Imperial College London.
