EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Carbon Capture and Storage, and Cleaner Fossil Energy

Led by The University of Nottingham in collaboration with Loughborough University, the University of Sheffield, the University of Birmingham and the British Geological Survey

This Industrial Doctorate Centre (IDC) involves over 50 recognised academics to provide comprehensive supervision for up to 65 doctoral students. It provides an innovative training programme co-created with our Industrial Partners to provide its students with the advanced skill-sets that they require to help reshape the design and operation of energy-intensive technologies during times of rapid change and transformation.

Engineering Doctorate Studentships

Applicants will need either a first class or upper second class honours degree in relevant subjects including Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials. Physics, Geology and Maths.

• An in-depth four-year training programme
• An enhanced non-taxed annual stipend of £19,277.00
• Approximately three years extensive research time in close collaboration with industry
• International travel budget

Industrial Involvement

The Centre is designed to be industrially focussed. We aim to ensure that all of the projects we undertake are targeted at meeting specific current and future needs of our partners. We work with numerous companies which cover a broad range of energy-intensive industries. Researchers will spend time working closely with one or more industrial sponsors, pursuing a research project based at one of our industrial supporters, or in a university environment with a close relationship with industry:

The Centre has excellent relationships with more than twenty industrial partners Projects will match both the interests of the researcher and industry.

Successful candidates will work with academics and industry partner(s) to shape the exact scope of each doctorate.

In addition to a broad range of potential projects which the Centre already has under development, candidates are welcome to approach the Centre with their own ideas for research projects, provided they are consistent with the concepts outlined above.
