The Institute of Agri-Food Research and Innovation (IAFRI) is a joint venture between Newcastle University & Fera Science Ltd. IAFRIs mission is to conduct frontier agri-food research in topics relating to Fera Science Ltd’s core business in plant protection, food safety and environmental sustainability.
There are five studentships available from 10 projects to choose from based on the current themes.
Students will be based at either Newcastle University or Fera Science Ltd in York. Each award provides a 3 year PhD with 100% tuition fees at UK/EU rate plus an annual stipend (minimum £15,009) Successful non-EU international students will be required to make up the difference between the UK/EU fees and international fees.
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Cloud Computing for Big Data is an innovative and highly prestigious programme.
Each year we offer a number of students the opportunity to study for a PhD in an exciting area in which there is an acute skills shortage.
The CDT was first established in 2014, since then it has recruited five excellent cohorts of students. Our graduates have gone on to exciting careers in industry, academia, and the National Innovation Centre for Data. The future of the CDT is supported by investment from Newcastle University and its industrial partners.
Through our industrial partners, we identify real world challenges. Our students address these challenges through industrial placements and applied academic collaboration.
Our cohort based, 4-year scheme offers a tailored PhD training and research programme, with opportunities to:
Be part of a vibrant and supportive research environment
We are a key partner in this Industrial Doctorate Centre for the Water Sector.
Coordinated by Cranfield University and including Imperial College London and the Universities of Sheffield, Newcastle and Exeter, the programme enables talented researchers to develop their skills and careers, while obtaining an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) degree.
Our Geospatial Systems CDT is a collaborative partnership between Newcastle University and the University of Nottingham.
It will provide the UK with a world-leading generation of engineers, scientists and practitioners trained in geospatial data, analytics, modelling and visualisation. This will help enable the UK to maximise the economic benefits of the 'open' geospatial data revolution.
Our Sustainable Electric Propulsion CDT is a collaboration between two of the UK's largest and most forward thinking research groups. Renowned for their expertise, Newcastle and Nottingham Universities are delivering this innovative venture.
We will train a new generation of power electronics specialists to meet the future demands of society and industry for clean, electric propulsion systems. As a graduate of this CDT, your skills and knowledge will be invaluable to automotive and aerospace transport infrastructures.
Our CDT in Molecular Sciences for Medicine (MoSMed) is an EPSRC funded joint venture between Newcastle and Durham Universities.
Our CDT delivers a comprehensive research and training programme focussed on science at the interface of molecular and medical sciences, business skills, innovation and entrepreneurship.
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU) is an added value doctoral training programme funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
Over the next 5 years it will create a pipeline of highly skilled doctoral graduates that will drive forward innovation in small scale renewable and sustainable distributed energy. It is a collaboration between Newcastle, Northumbria and Durham universities.
If you have a strong academic background in a science, technology, engineering or mathematics discipline and are motivated by the opportunity to create a more sustainable future then find out more information on our website.
10 PhD scholarships are being offered across all major subject areas for Chinese citizens. Full tuition fees will be funded by the University for a period of 48 months and the China Scholarship Council will provide a living allowance.
