Current opportunities

Thank you for your interest in DiMeN DTP PhD studentships.  Applications are now open with a  deadline of 17th of December 2023You should apply for three PhD projects available across the DiMeN DTP network. We advise that you contact the supervisor for the projects you are interested in before submitting an application. 

We have a variety of exciting opportunities to undertake your PhD on a project that has direct relevance to industry through our iCASE scheme (see projects below tagged iCASE). These all involve an industrial partner where you can spend time working as part of your project, gaining insight into the R&D workspace. In addition, iCASE projects come with an enhanced stipend for the student and also increased consumables budget.
