PhD Studentships
We regularly recruit for Studentships funded by the Research Councils, the University and industrial companies, to work on specific three year projects leading to the degree of PhD Studentships cover UK/EU tuition fees and pay a maintenance grant of ca £13,000 pa.
Details of current Studentships are shown below, and are open to UK and EU citizens
If you are interested in any of the studentships described, please contact the supervising member of staff, who will be able to supply further details.

E.ON EPSRC CASE Industrial Studentship: Fireside Corrosion in Co-Fired Supercritical Boilers
Applications are invited for an EPSRC / Materials KTN Industrial Case Studentship based in the Departments of Materials. The student will be co-supervised by academics in Materials and Chemistry at Loughborough University, and will spend at least 3 months over the duration of the studentship at E.ON New Build & Technology, Ratcliffe on Soar. The proposed work focuses on the corrosive effects of biomass co-firing in supercritical boilers and will use advanced analytical and characterisation techniques to understand fully the relationship between biomass/coal chemistries and the ash formed and corrosive effect of biomass combustion. The work will support the continued co-firing of biomass fuels in current coal fired plant operating with final steam temperatures of 540°C and 568°C and the use of co-firing in new E.ON plant currently under construction in Europe and potentially for new build in the UK. As this is a Materials KTN Award, the student will work closely with the Materials KTN to ensure effective knowledge transfer at appropriate points of the project and attend networking events.
The position is for 3.5 years and is intended to start in October 2012.
The studentship provides a minimum tax free stipend of £13,590 per annum for the duration of the studentship plus tuition fees at the UK/EU rate. Due to Research Council funding restrictions only students with UK/EU fee status will be considered for this position.
Students should have an upper second or first class BEng or MEng in Materials Science/Engineering, a BSc or MChem degree in Chemistry, or a Master’s degree or equivalent qualification in Materials or Chemistry or a closely related area. A strong interest in energy materials and working within an industrial environment is essential.
For general enquiries or further details please contact Dr Simon Hogg (Materials) or Dr Caroline Kirk (Chemistry), Loughborough University, Loughborough, LE11 3TU, UK. (Email: s.c.hogg@lboro.ac.uk or c.a.kirk@lboro.ac.uk).
