Currently advertising
The WAMESS CDT is currently advertising for studentships in both tracks of the CDT (find out more about Track A and Track B).
Track A
Applications are open for Track A students. Track A is for students who wish to have their academic training programme to be concentrated in the first year of their 4 years in the CDT. Their research project is then completed over the remaining three years. This means that a student has longer in which to choose their research project. The broad initial training programme can help to inform a student’s choice of research project. Track A students will be based at the University of Strathclyde for all 4 years of the CDT.
Track B
Applications are open for Track B students in the following set research projects:
- The University of Strathclyde is currently advertising for 3 studentships
- The University of Edinburgh is currently advertising for 3 studentships
- The University of Oxford is currently advertising for 5 studentships
- Experimental Methods for Dynamic Measurement and Modelling of Offshore Wind Structures
- RWE Renewables sponsored research studentship in identification methods for offshore wind turbine structures and foundations
- Monitored Data Analysis of Offshore Wind Structures
- Ørsted Research Studentship in Cyclic Loading of Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations – Numerical Analysis
- Numerical modelling of offshore wind turbine foundations in sand accounting for partial drainage
Track B students will be based at the University of Strathclyde for the first semester of the CDT. The remainder of the PhD will be carried out at the host university: Strathclyde, Edinburgh or Oxford.
