EPSRC PhD Studentship at Queen Mary University of London: Thermo-chemo-mechanical modelling of elastomers under extreme conditions

Dear iMechanicians, 

I have a PhD Studentship available for UK settled status residents.

Settled status in the UK, meaning they have no restrictions on how long they can stay and been 'ordinarily resident' in the UK for 3 years prior to the start of the grant. This means they must have been normally residing in the UK (apart from temporary or occasional absences) and not been residing in the UK wholly or mainly for the purpose of full-time education. (This does not apply to UK or EU nationals).

The studentship arrangement will cover tuition fees and provide an annual stipend (£15,863 in 2014/15) for up to three and a half years. 

The studentship is co-financed by ARTIS, part of the Avon Rubber PLC, one of the world's leading manufacturer of rubber products. 

The minimum requirement for this studentship is a good Honours degree (minimum 2(i) honours or equivalent) or MSc/MRes in a relevant discipline such as Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Engineering Science, Materials Science and Mathematics.

Industrial experience is a plus, but not essential.
