PhD Studentship_Drivetrain dynamics and efficiency in automotive applications

Loughborough University -Wolfson School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering

A PhD studentship is available for a high calibre candidate to join a research team engaged in the development of modelling applications relevant to automotive systems, in collaboration with Industry. The Ph.D. student will join an established group investigating drivetrain dynamics and their repercussions on energy efficiency. The Wolfson School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Loughborough University has outstanding research facilities for powertrain dynamics, vibration engineering and numerical modelling. The Dynamics Research Group is engaged in numerous activities, being widely known for their contributions in numerical and experimental research applied to powertrains, tribodynamics of automotive systems, drivetrain engineering and Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) phenomena. The Ph.D. student is expected to develop modelling techniques to reduce oscillations in drivetrain automotive applications and validate the methods employed using suitable experimental rigs.

The candidates must be expecting, or have already obtained a first degree (1^st class or high 2:1 honours or equivalent) in mechanical engineering, physics or other relevant subject. Good communication skills are essential and an interest in, and basic understanding of Engineering Dynamics and Vibrations is desirable.

Due to funfing restrictions this three-year studentship is generally open to UK/EU students but applications from exceptionally talented overseas candidates will also be considered. The studentship will provide a maximum stipend of £13,726 per annum tax free (the exact amount depends on the fee status and experience) and UK/EU candidates would not be required to pay any tuition fees.

Applicants seeking additional information are invited to contact Dr Stephanos Theodossiades (e-mailS.Theodossiades@lboro.ac.uk).

Please quote the reference ST030214 on all correspondence and especially on the application form.

The closing date for applications for this studentship is Friday 4^th March 2014.

注:

此PHD机会申明是向UK/EU学生开放的，但是海外学生仍在考虑范围之内，不同的是海外学生如果拿到offer的话，部分奖学金将会扣除交学费，换言之不能拿到全奖。
