PhD Studentship – EPSRC Collaborative Doctoral Landscape Award (Engineering Research Projects)
The University of Warwick, School of Engineering, is offering fully funded PhD studentships under the EPSRC Collaborative Doctoral Landscape Award scheme. These research opportunities support advanced doctoral training across cutting‑edge engineering disciplines, with a strong focus on addressing major scientific, technological, and societal challenges.
The programme forms part of the EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award initiative, enabling high‑quality doctoral research in areas such as measurement science, advanced materials, predictive modelling, energy systems, artificial intelligence applications in engineering, and manufacturing innovation. Students will join active research groups within the School of Engineering and work under the supervision of leading academic experts on funded PhD projects designed to deliver both theoretical and applied impact.
Projects under this scheme are typically collaborative and interdisciplinary, often involving engagement with wider research networks and, in some cases, external partners. The programme provides structured doctoral training, access to advanced research facilities, and opportunities to develop technical, analytical, and professional skills aligned with academic and industry careers.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants should hold, or be expected to achieve, a strong undergraduate degree (typically a first-class or upper second-class honours degree, or international equivalent) in engineering, physics, mathematics, materials science, computer science, or a closely related discipline. A relevant Master’s degree may be advantageous depending on the specific project. Applicants must meet UKRI eligibility requirements for doctoral funding.
Required expertise/skills
Candidates should demonstrate strong analytical and quantitative skills, with a solid foundation in engineering or physical sciences. Depending on the project, experience in areas such as programming, data analysis, experimental methods, modelling, or materials characterisation may be required. Strong problem‑solving ability, independent research capability, and effective communication skills are essential. An interest in interdisciplinary engineering research and innovation is highly desirable.
Salary details
Full funding typically includes payment of tuition fees at the home rate and a tax‑free maintenance stipend in line with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) rates, along with potential research training support funding depending on the specific project.
Application Deadline
Varies by project (commonly April 2026 deadlines for EPSRC Collaborative Doctoral Landscape Awards).
