Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Electrification of transport is a key cornerstone of the UK Government’s industrial strategy challenge fund and an essential enabler to achieve long term emission targets. As part of the recently announced >£10M Faraday Institution project on Multi-Scale Modelling of Lithium Ion Batteries and a number of Innovate UK projects working with industry, we are making a number of PhD studentships available to work in the Electrochemical Science & Engineering Group at Imperial College London on a range of technologies that will enable higher performing, cheaper and longer lasting battery systems.
The successful candidates will join a diverse, friendly and supportive community of world class researchers at Imperial College London with a reputation for excellence.
The Team
The Electrochemical Science and Engineering group is a multi-disciplinary research group spanning the Mechanical Engineering, Dyson School of Design Engineering and Earth Science and Engineering Departments at Imperial College London’s South Kensington Campus. You will be joining a large team aiming to make substantial and game changing advances in lithium ion battery modelling, which will have a significant impact on the automotive and battery industries. Collaboration both nationally and internationally will be encouraged and there is substantial support (for research, conferences & training) available.
Funding
We have a fully-funded studentship available for UK/EU nationals who have lived in the UK for at least 3 years, but we are also interested to hear from exceptional international students who would need support in making an application for a scholarship (note we cannot guarantee funding).
Project
Multiphysics modelling and numerical simulation of batteries (part of Faraday Institution Multi-Scale Modelling)
Battery behaviours are governed by multiphysics processes at different scales. Better understanding of these physics and their interplay can give insights into innovations and breakthroughs in batteries. Applications are invited in the field of multiphysics modelling of batteries. A combination with experimental research may also be included.
Supervisor may vary depending upon your exact interest. Dr Gregory Offer, Dr Billy Wu, Dr Sam Cooper, Dr Monica Marinescu, Dr Yatish Patel, Dr Huizhi Wang, Prof Ricardo Martinez-Botas & Prof Nigel Brandon
Application
To apply, please submit the following to Dr Jacqueline Edge [Email Address Removed] before Monday 23rd July 2018.
• A 2-page CV summarising your experience to date
• A maximum 2-page research proposal describing what you consider to be the key challenges in the area you are most interested in
• Any supporting documentation, i.e. papers published if you have any, other (short) examples of your written work, etc
Funding Notes
Funding is for UK/EU students who have lived in the UK for the past 3 years (i.e. been resident in the UK).
Exceptional International Students should also apply, but we may offer to support a scholarship application.
