{UAH} Doctoral Training to produce next generation of scientists and engineers.

The Faculty of Science & Engineering at the University of Liverpool is home to six new Centres for Doctoral Training to produce and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.

If you are considering a PhD, we offer you extraordinary - and fully funded - training opportunities, as well as excellent links and career prospects with leading industry partners.

You would enjoy a rigorous, but supportive and vibrant academic environment, working with academics at the forefront of their field. You will also receive strong industrial support, with access to state-of-the-art facilities as well as innovative skills and training to prepare you for the world of work.

Themes and topics:

Global Risk & Uncertainty in Complex Systems & Environments
Addressing industrial and societal needs arising from the rapidly growing complexity of systems of various kinds, their environment and associated risks and uncertainties. The Centre provides training at the intersection of disciplines such as engineering, mathematics, economics, the environmental sciences and psychology to develop a cross-cutting understanding of how to address and tackle large-scale, complex problems and disasters.

Next Generation Nuclear
Developing future research leaders to support the UK's strategic nuclear programmes, including nuclear legacy clean-up, new build power stations and, defence and security. The Centre, led by Manchester, works in partnership with Liverpool and Sheffield as well as major industrial and regulatory bodies.

Additive Manufacturing
Based at the University of Nottingham, the Centre will push forward the development and application of next-generation, multi-material and multifunctional Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing technologies. The successful commercial exploitation of its research in order to meet industrial and national need for cutting edge, low carbon manufacturing technologies is a key priority.

New and Sustainable Photovoltaics
Future solar photovoltaic technologies must be cost-effective, yet sustainable in terms of materials and manufacturing methods. This will demand new approaches, including nanotechnology, low temperature processing and photon engineering coupled with enhancements to emerging thin film and conventional PV device technology. The Centre is led by the University of Liverpool, with strong support from leading industries.

Fusion Energy
Providing training in a range of fusion-relevant disciplines, including: materials science, plasma physics, nuclear physics, technology, laser physics and instrumentation. Its combination of world-leading experts and world-class facilities creates an outstanding training environment for the next generation of fusion scientists - the generation who will exploit ITER, NIF and other international experiments to make fusion energy a reality.

Understanding the Earth, Atmosphere and Ocean
Focusing on the atmosphere, ocean and solid Earth and addressing physical, chemical and biological processes at work in our environment. The Centre draws on the research expertise from universities of Manchester and Liverpool, as well as its host partner, the National Oceanography Centre. Its programme is augmented by industrial partners providing additional training, work experience and opportunity for placements
