Efficient Fossil Energy Technologies Wanted.
Energy engineers of the future

What is an EngD?

• Lasts for four years
• Provides a stipend of up to £20,000, much higher than a traditional PhD
• Provides an extensive period of time to conduct basic research in industry (approx. three years)
• Will equip research engineers for high-level careers in the energy sector

Why do an EngD?

The EngD is particularly suited to anyone with an interest in the future of power generation who is keen to tackle the major national and international challenges associated with the implmentation of new power plant that will:

• Generate electricity more efficiently
• Use fossil energy with near-zero emissions
• Successfully demonstrate CO2 capture
• Reduce CO2 emissions (from coal utilisation)
• Industrial involvement

Research engineers will spend time working closely with a number of industrial sponsors. Throughout years two to four, they will pursue a research project based at one of the sponsor organisations whilst receiving supervision, guidance and ongoing tuition from the universities.

Applicants will need either a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours degree in a relevant subject such as Chemical, Mechanical, Environmental or Materials Engineering, Chemical Sciences, Physics or Mathematics.

To apply send a CV with a covering letter of application to: Professor Colin Snape, Director of the Centre by email: efet@nottingham.ac.uk
