Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Doctoral Prize Fellowship 2017

Are you looking to establish a research career in Science or Engineering at one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

The EPSRC Doctoral Prize scheme supports Fellowships of two years’ duration for exceptional researchers who have been in receipt of EPSRC-funding during their PhD, fees and/or maintenance, and have submitted their PhD thesis and completed their viva, with a Pass or minor corrections, between 1 October 2016 and 30 September 2017.

Your research area should fall into one of the following categories: Information and Communications Technology, Materials, Mechanical and Medical Engineering, Mathematical Sciences, Process, Environment and Sustainability, or Physical Sciences.

These prestigious Fellowships are designed to support you in developing your independent research and innovation career. As part of the programme we will offer you flexible support, including induction, mentoring and career development planning.  You will also be assigned a mentor and a formal supervisor appropriate to your area of research.

This is a national scheme and all EPSRC–supported students are encouraged to apply. You will be expected to start between 1 August 2017 and 30 October 2017. If you have already been offered or hold a permanent position, you will be considered to have achieved the aims of this programme and as such will not be eligible.
