About the Project
Industrial Doctorate (EngD) - Flexible Systems & New Processes for Electrical Generator Manufacture (Cummins)
The Manufacturing Technology Engineering Doctoral Centre is running an intensive four-year research programme in partnership with industry to address key challenges in advanced manufacturing engineering. It will prepare manufacturing experts for the future and enhance the competitiveness of UK industry by rapidly transforming the latest manufacturing research results into industrial technologies.
We are seeking students for an anticipated October 2013 start on a project with Cummins Generator Technologies a division of Cummins titled Flexible Systems & New Processes for Electrical Generator Manufacture.
Cummins Generator Technologies is a global manufacturer of a range of generator families. Product variation, factory specific challenges and rapidly changing customer trends all impose significant burdens upon the flexibility of the manufacturing systems currently deployed. It is proposed that advanced tooling and fixturing solutions will allow step changes in this respect by reducing standard hours in labour intensive stations. The projects will involve a root and branch appraisal of the flexibility of Cummins facilities in terms of their ability to respond to the manufacturing and customer challenges that will become prevalent in the next 5-20 years, and address issues by driving implementation of new processes with demonstrable advantages over ‘traditional approaches’.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on an industry-based manufacturing technology research project, gain an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) and develop leadership skills in preparation for a high-impact, high-technology research career in industry.
Students, termed ‘Research Engineers’, will benefit from:
• A generous fully-funded four-year Engineering Doctorate programme that integrates an industry based doctoral research project with research training in technical subjects and interdisciplinary skills.
• Supervision from international leaders in advanced manufacturing technologies.
For further information or to apply, please go to our website: www.manufacturingedc.ac.uk.
Contact the Centre Manager, David Shipley for further information, for an information and application pack, tel: 011595 13836 or e- mail: [Email Address Removed] Please quote ref. ENG/698. This studentship will remain open until filled.

Funding Notes
The scholarship on offer comprises a tax-free stipend of c£20,000 a year, tuition fees paid and a generous study package (research consumables and travel budget).
The full scholarship (payment of fees and c£20,000 pa stipend) is available to “Home Fee” status applicants, and for EU applicants who meet the three-year UK residency criteria. EU applicants not meeting the three-year residency criteria will have their fees paid, but unfortunately are not eligible for stipend payments from the EPSRC grant made to the Centre. The studentship is expected to start in October 2013 start on an EngD project with Cummins
