As the largest engineering Faculty in Scotland, we are renowned internationally for research and strong links with industry. We have a rich international community with over 1000 postgraduate and research students from almost 100 countries.
The Faculty has a long history of innovation and is home to some of the most practical research taking place in the UK – from heart valves, to water and flood management to renewable technologies.
We are internationally recognised for our research and strong links with industry as evidenced by a growing research portfolio of over £85 million. Our research has a global impact, making a positive difference to the world we live in and helping to solve some of the major problems that face society today.
Strathclyde was founded as a ‘place of useful learning’ and our status was confirmed when we were named University of the Year in the prestigious Times Higher Education Awards for 2012. The judges in the awards described us as a “bold, imaginative and innovative institution” for the quality and impact of our research, as well as our close links with business and industry.
The Faculty is seeking to recruit outstanding individuals for fully funded PhD studentships starting between now and April 2013. Funding is available for within various departments within the Faculty.
Due to the nature of the funding these studentships are open to UK/EU students only.
The PhD studentships will cover Home/EU fees and a tax-free maintenance grant of a minimum of £13,590 per annum.
All applicants should have (or expect to obtain) a first-class or upper second class degree in a relevant discipline and a strong interest in pursuing research in this field. We are looking for outstanding and committed individuals who want to be part of a rich and stimulating research environment. State of the art laboratories and IT facilities will ensure that you have the best possible learning environment.
