Materials engineering field looks into relationships between properties of materials and their mechanical structure at atomic level. This field also deals with practical application of material when the main factors of that are its properties, chemical structure, final form. Materials engineering has supportive areas as thermodynamics, mechanics, nanosciences , etc. Graduates gain understanding in behaviors and properties of various substances, from raw materials and designed products. They are employed by companies whose products are manufactured of ceramics, metal, rubber, plastic, etc.
A new FULLY FUNDED PhD position is open at a world-leading composite centre: the Advanced Composite Centre for Innovation and Science (ACCIS) at University of Bristol. We seek for a creative and motivated candidate with good analytical skills and a taste for challenging mechanical problems.
The Universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Exeter together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HR-Wallingford have formed a partnership to deliver the RCUK/ETI Industrial Doctorate Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE).
Doctoral studies in the programme in Process Engineering, specialization in Tools and Processes, are aimed at research work and at independent activities in the field of R&D with considerable use of computer technology and of modern equipment for the analysis of processes which take place during processing of polymer products and for the design of tools for their processing.
This programme will certificate you with a: * Doctoral Programme in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering * Advanced Studies (3rd cycle) in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering
University of Pardubice
Doctoral study is provided in three - years study programme “Technique and Technology in Transport and Communications”. The graduate gets deep knowledge in mathematics, operation research, information and control systems, transport and telecommunication systems, decision making, management, modern logistic systems, modelling of technological processes and new directions in technology and in strategic control. This knowledge can be applied in creative manner by solving complex problems of transport, transfer and telecommunication processes.
The University of Manchester
The Biomedical Materials research programmes cover an exciting area of research in the School focusing both on fundamental understanding of interactions between man-made materials and biological tissues and the development of useful applications. We have close links with the world's leading pharmaceutical and medical device companies and the clinical applications of our research impact many areas of medicine.
Politecnico Di Milano
Purpose of the courses of this doctoral program is to provide Ph.D. students in materials engineering first with a common and basic knowledge followed by a specialized training in specific fields. The objective is to combine the theoretical knowledge with the technological requirements in order to prepare a qualified researcher who can guide the design, manufacturing and use of traditional and/or new materials.
Newcastle University
Current research includes: developing novel surface engineering processes and materials (such as fullerene-like coating materials); energy-based methods for performance modelling; nanomaterials and nanocharacterisation techniques; and novel materials for intensified processes. The measurement and modelling of the mechanical response of materials at high-spatial resolution, particularly in microelectronic and optical devices, is a major specialism of the School and is supported by a combination of unique equipment and interdisciplinary expertise.
Saarland University
The aim of DocMASE is to provide a high level research structure for the best students from Europe and the rest of the world. Research projects organised in close cooperation by two universities of the consortium will be offered. Co-advisory is an integral part of the project, thus students will be assigned an advisor from each university where he/she carries out the research work. Students can opt for an academic or an industrial focus in their research. Throughout the PHD, doctoral students are required to go to one of the partner universities for at least six month, and additionally to one of the associated partners for at least two weeks.
University of Bristol
The Advanced Composites Centre for Innovation and Science Doctoral Training Centre (ACCIS DTC) offers exceptional candidates across Engineering, Science and Mathematics the unique opportunity to become involved with exciting groundbreaking research in composite materials and structures technologies.
Koc University
An interdisciplinary program on the physical and chemical fundamentals of material synthesis, characterization, structure-property behavior, processing and computational modeling; with emphasis on practical laboratory experience.
CEA/INSTN
As a part of the CEA (French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission), the National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology (INSTN) is a higher education institution under the joint supervision of the Ministries in charge of higher Education and Industry.
