Job Description

We offer PhD projects to UK, EU and international students in various areas that fall in the research initiatives of our institute.

Most of these projects are identified as potentially having studentship support, either by EPSRC which is usually restricted to UK students only who have (or expect to obtain) a first or 2:1 degree in a relevant subject. However, projects could equally run with students supported by other means (e.g. overseas students with their own external scholarships, self-funded, etc.) with an equivalent qualification.

You can find more information about this institute and its academics by looking at the pages for the Institute of Sensors, Signals and Systems. Please direct informal queries for further project information to the individual project supervisor.

For more details see how to apply.

To apply for a PhD or other Research Degree position, please use our online postgraduate application form.  Please note that we are only able to consider applications where you have provided the details of the advertised project that you are applying to work on, or the name of the Academic Supervisor that you would like to work with.
