A 3 years PhD position sponsored by Johnson Matthey (JM) is available
in ‘Glass coatings for Automobile Application’ from October 1st 2013.
PhD Studentships are available in Glass coatings for Automobile
Application at University of Sheffield-Department of Materials Science
& Engineering in UK. EU, UK and international students are eligible
for this PhD studentship. Applicants must have a background in Materials
Science and Engineering with physics also an option. Studentship
includes stipend per annum. University fees are also covered by the
grant for exceptional overseas candidates. Application must be submitted
electronically or by post.
Study Subject(s): The scholarship is awarded in Glass coatings for Automobile Application at University of Sheffield in UK.
Course Level: This studentship is for pursuing PhD Position at University of Sheffield in UK.
Scholarship Provider: Johnson Matthey (JM)
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility: -The project is an industrial CASE and open to UK, EU and International students. Candidates with a background in Materials Science and Engineering are preferred, with physics also an option.
-The PhD will give the successful candidate a strong background in science led R&D and train the student in a broad skills base of analytical techniques as well as developing a portfolio of soft-skills to encourage communication and knowledge transfer.
Scholarship Open for Students of Following Countries: PhD Studentship is open for UK, EU and International students.
Scholarship Description:
The
project concerns the study and development of glass compositions for
use as enamels on automobile windscreens. The student will undertake
glass melting and casting and perform enameling studies to study the
effect of the coating on strength of the enamel/glass composite. The
strain will be quality assessed using polarized light and quantitatively
evaluated using nano indentation and acoustic tests. The interface
between the enamel and windscreen glass will be studied using advanced
transmission electron microscopy. The student will work closely with JM
and be expected to undertake short study visits at JM Sonning to perform
critical experiments and to liaise with the industrial sponsor. The
Department of Material Science & Engineering at the University of
Sheffield, with over £80M in research income over the past decade, has
an established reputation for world class research that spans
metallurgy, electroceramics, polymer composites, advanced manufacturing,
glass technology, bio materials, nuclear materials and functional
materials. As part of the Faculty of Engineering, we contribute to the
third largest engineering faculty (by research income) in the UK and
have a culture of interdisciplinary research and cross faculty research
groups. We are at the forefront of tackling global challenges such as
climate change, sustainable energy and healthcare for an aging
population. JM is one of the world’s leading R&D based companies
with state of the art labs at the Sonning Common facility which are at
the disposal of the project.
Number of award(s): Not Known
Duration of award(s): A 3 years PhD position is offered at the University of Sheffield in UK.
What does it cover? The bursary will be the standard EPSRC stipend of £13,726 per annum. A top up of up to £3500 from the industrial sponsor is available, linked to the age and experience of the candidate. University fees are also covered by the grant (up to the value of a UK home fee) for exceptional overseas candidates.
