  Dr J Kermode  No more applications being accepted  Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

About the Project

This four year PhD position is funded through the Diamond Science and Technology CDT. The successful candidate will be required to undertake the MSc taught component at Warwick and then two associated mini-projects at partner universities Imperial College London (with Dr Finn Giuliani, Mechanical Engineering/Materials) and Newcastle (with Dr Jonathan Goss, Electrical Engineering). The student will benefit from being part of a supportive network, and from being taught by experts from eight different universities which they can tap into in future years.

There is a three stage application procedure for the Centre for Doctoral Training in Diamond Science and Technology. The 4 year Studentships are made up of a 1 Year MSc at Warwick + a linked 3 Year PhD at one of the partner institutions - you get two degrees!

Please Dr Kermode as soon as possible for informal enquires and to arrange an interview.


Funding Notes

The DST CDT provides funding for the 4 year programme to UK and EU students (non-UK EU students must have resided in the UK for three years prior to the start of their course in order to be eligible).

This four year studentship will pay a standard stipend to cover maintenance as well as paying the university fees and provide funding for mini-project, PhD travel expenses and research support. The stipend is usually paid at standard research council rates.
