PhD Studentships in Material Science - University of Cambridge

PhD Studentships
Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy

Applications are invited for studentships for 3-year research programmes leading to the degree of PhD. The majority of studentships available are for candidates who meet the EPSRC residency criteria but other sources of funding might be available for very well qualified students.

The Department has a 6* RAE rating. Our main research activities are in the following areas and prospective candidates are welcome to contact members of the academic staff working in their fields of interest:

* Physical Metallurgy and Materials Processing
* Materials Chemistry
* Polymers, Ceramics and Composites
* Biomaterials
* Device Materials
* Materials Characterisation

Further information on our research programmes and PhD topics available is at
http://www.msm. cam.ac.uk/ Department/ Research/ index.html
and http://www.msm. cam.ac.uk/ Department/ adverts/PhD/ PhDadvert. html.

The Department is fortunate in possessing world class facilities in the areas of transmission and scanning electron microscopy, mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction and polymer characterisation.

Close collaborative links exist with industry and other university departments in the UK and abroad.

The minimum academic requirement for admission is an upper second class UK honours degree, or a lower second with a Master's, (or overseas equivalents) in a relevant subject.

Application packs are available via http://www.admin. cam.ac.uk/ offices/gradstud /admissions/ or from Dr Rosie Ward (remw2@cam.ac. uk) who is happy to answer questions about the admissions process and funding opportunities
