The AAPS CDT at the University of Bath is recruiting its fourth cohort of students to join us in September 2022. AAPS is a diverse and stimulating environment where you can deepen your knowledge in your discipline alongside colleagues working across a broad spectrum of challenges facing the mobility sector. The programme integrates a one-year MRes with a three to four-year PhD. The MRes programme is conducted as a cohort with a focus on technology, team-working and research skills before moving on to the PhD programme in year 2.
Our CDT is the training arm of the prestigious Edinburgh Centre for Robotics, a joint venture between Heriot-Watt University and the University of Edinburgh, and forming the new National Robotarium (opening early 2022).
We have been training innovation-ready postgraduates since 2014, with a focus on safety and safe interactions between robots, people and their environments.
We have a number of exciting PhD opportunities for those with a passion for robotics and who have, or expect to obtain, a 2.1 or higher degree in Engineering, Computer Science or related subjects such as Maths, Physics, HRI and NLP. Applicants from other disciplines with an interest in robotics will be considered, such as Psychology, Social Sciences and the creative disciplines.
We are committed to facilitating a shift in the culture and diversity of the robotics research community through pro-active practices to support equality, diversity and inclusion at all levels. Our work in this area was recently recognised by Informatics Europe, who awarded the CDT with the Minerva Informatics Equality Award.
Fully funded PhD studentships at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Hydrogen
Do you want your PhD study to be part of a meaningful contribution towards a net-zero energy system?
Are you curious to discover how an energy research environment can be enriched through different perspectives from fellow researchers?
Can you contribute to the research and development of hydrogen-based solutions needed to meet the net-zero challenge?
Four-Year PhD Advanced Composites PhD programme
Imagine structures that can morph their shape or have self-repair functionality embedded within their materials. Smart biomaterials that can be designed to adapt their chemical and mechanical properties in response to changes in physiological parameters. A sustainable, waste free world. This could be your future, achieved through the application of high performance advanced composites.
By joining the Centre for Doctoral Training in Composites Science, Engineering and Manufacturing (CoSEM CDT) you will undertake cohort-driven training and cutting-edge research making these technological visions a reality.
