Call for Applications: Fully funded PhD scholarships in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability & Resilience

Ready to take on the challenge of energy sustainability? Apply now for 1 of 15 fully funded PhD scholarships in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability & Resilience at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience.

Join a partnership between the University of Hull, Durham University, Loughborough University, The University of Sheffield, and over 40 offshore wind industry partners. Together, they are providing a supportive training environment for doctoral researchers to tackle real-world challenges facing the sector.

Overview

The CDT is a partnership between Hull, Durham, Loughborough and Sheffield universities, along with over 40 industry partners. To join EPSRC CDT, you will apply for a specific funded research project and enrol at the partner university where your lead supervisor is based. 

The EPSRC CDT in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainabilty and Resilience will welcome over 65 funded doctoral researchers between 2024 and 2028. Join EPSRC CDT to tackle some of the biggest research challenges, in a supportive environment where you can grow your own career while you help grow the offshore wind industry.

Benefits

You will benefit from a taught programme, giving you a broad understanding of the breadth and depth of current and emerging offshore wind sector needs. This begins with an intensive six-month programme at the University of Hull for the new student intake, drawing on the expertise and facilities of all four academic partners. It is supplemented by Continuing Professional Development (CPD), which is embedded throughout your 4-year research scholarship.

If your research will be based at Durham, Loughborough or Sheffield, EPSRC CDT may be able to offer 6 month, on campus University of Hull rental contracts to cover the initial training period. 

Recruitment is open until 4 December 2024 for EPSRC CDT Fully funded PhD scholarships with September 2025 entry. Please see below for a list of open projects.
