PhDs in Aerospace, Aeronautical & Marine Engineering

PhD in Offshore Renewable Energy (Engineering Doctorate)

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).

PhD in PhD Studentship in Micro Air Vehicle “Flying with Vision”

A fully-funded studentship is available for a PhD on the topic of autonomous indoor flight of a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) using computer vision. The focus of the project is on the guidance, sensing and control aspects of the problem.

PhD in PhD Studentship - the Next Generation of Factory Simulation Modelling Tools

Cranfield University

Cranfield University, in collaboration with Ford, has an exciting research opportunity that aims to develop the next generation factory simulation modelling tools to support Ford’s future machining and assembly lines.

PhD in PhD Studentship - Image Processing for Mechanical Component Degradation Analysis

Cranfield University

Supported by EPSRC and Rolls-Royce, a studentship up to £20,000 p.a. for 3 years plus UK/EU fees* is available Application deadline: 31 May 2012 Start date: Asap Duration of award: Three years Supervisors: Professor Rajkumar Roy and Dr. Jorn Mehnen Industrial Partner: Rolls-Royce Cranfield University is seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake this exciting research project. The PhD researcher will develop image processing and data fusion techniques to identify degradation in mechanical components (e.g. aero engine components) and visualise compounded degradation for ‘as maintained’ perspective. It is expected that the researchers will perform image processing of thermal and X-Ray images.

PhD in Rotary-wing Aircrafts

Politecnico Di Milano

The educational goals will create specialists in the design, analysis, testing, certification and operation of rotary-wing vehicles and their subsystems. Specific competences are gained either in a single subject or in the integration of special subjects such as: dynamics and control, fluid mechanics, flight dynamics, active and passive structural safety, intelligent and automated systems, structures and materials.

PhD in Aerospace Engineering PhD

The University of Manchester

This Group undertakes research directly relevant to the aerospace industry and also of a quite fundamental nature. Manchester has a distinguished history in turbulence modelling (from Osborne Reynolds to Brian Launder) and also in Fluids (e.g. Lamb and Goldstein), reflected in aerodynamics and heat transfer research today coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) allied to interests in Dynamics, Composite Structures and Aeroelasticity.

PhD in Aerospace Engineering (PhD)

University of Bristol

The University of Bristol benefits from the concentration of aerospace industry in the south-west of England and a key feature of the Department's research is its close links with the industry - including Airbus, Rolls-Royce, AgustaWestland, BAE Systems and others further afield. The Department has also seen burgeoning links with the renewable energy industry. Some of these research links have led to the establishment of formal technology partnerships, namely the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Composites, the GE Aviation University Technology Strategic Partnership in Composites (with Oxford University), the AgustaWestland Helicopters University Technology Centre in Vibration, and more recently a composites technology partnership with Vestas Wind Systems.

PhD in Marine Sciences

Newcastle University

PhD supervision is normally available in the following areas: Molecular and environmental signalling; Dynamics of fragile marine ecosystems; Marine biotechnology; Marine biogeochemistry; Coastal management;

PhD in Advanced Composites

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.

PhD in Architectural Composition

Politecnico Di Milano

The objective is to train architects who are capable professionals from a general point of view, with solid historical/humanistic training and a strong theoretical base, but who also have extensive knowledge of town planning and construction techniques and who are able to carry out architectural design.

PhD in Engineering and Science in the Marine Environment, Integrated PhD

Newcastle University

This programme is designed to enable you to develop your own interest in a specific marine-related area of study, and gain detailed knowledge and experience of research methods and management. You also have the opportunity to widen your knowledge in areas that are of relevance to an academic or professional career.

PhD in PhD Studentship - Information Modelling for Service Feedback

Cranfield University

Cranfield University is seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake an exciting research project, which aims to develop an information model to manage the service information gathered through the servicing of mechanical components for feedback to improve design and manufacturing. The model will be implemented as a prototype software system for validation.
