DTP 2018-19 Loughborough University

拉夫堡大学的EPSRC DTP代表了研究生研究（PGR）培训的300万英镑投资。它是我们的工程和物理科学研究战略的重要组成部分，通过我们的研究战略“CALIBRE”支持跨学科研究，包括研究挑战，全球研究挑战，雄心和冒险研究领域，补充我们的基础，基于学科的研究优势。它还提供了一个平台，用于建立行业合作伙伴关系，并通过主要的研究基础设施投资，如通过米德兰兹创新和能源研究加速器，拉夫堡是合作伙伴，加强机构间的合作。 通过DTP资助的机会将保持一致的相关机构领域是：-我们的学术学院的卓越研究，主要包括：制造，电气和机械工程学院，建筑，建筑和土木工程学院，航空，汽车和化学工程学院，科学学院和拉夫堡设计学院-研究学院;建筑环境（B），高价值制造（HVM），运输技术（TT）-全球挑战领域;能源（E），健康和福祉（HW），安全和弹性社会（SRS），不断变化的环境和基础设施（CEI）-在以下领域领先的研究小组：先进材料，建筑环境，控制工程，工程设计，流体动力学和空气动力学，信息系统，制造技术，机器人和自主系统和水工程。基础和理论科学的分配将被围起来，并将包括数学奖学金加上通过竞争过程分配一组奖学金，以支持拉夫堡研究中的“冒险”。这些举措将确保对重要基础学科的支持。 我们每个为期42个月的DTP支持的学生将获得增强的，基于队列的研究培训经验，类似于我们的博士培训中心（CDTs）。将通过培训可转移的研究技能、研究培训支助赠款以及综合影响、外联和公众参与组成部分来加强这些能力，以支持产生影响。 DTP支持的其他举措包括：三个为期18个月的博士奖学金，让最有能力的学生进行一段时间的自我指导的博士后研究，以建立自己的研究生涯;多达6个“影响奖学金”，使学生能够利用他们的博士研究为未来的下游应用提供相当大的希望的机会以及有前景可进一步加强学术机构与伙伴机构合作的个案转化奖。我们每年为本科生提供多达15个DTP假期奖学金，这有助于为最聪明的学生提供参与和体验研究的机会。 DTP资金将在2017年底分两批分配，PGR计划将于2018年10月和2019年10月开始。将提供一些向非欧盟候选人开放的奖学金，以吸引最好的国际博士候选人。分配的细节，时间表任命，招聘过程和DTP培训计划将在拉夫堡博士学院的网站上提供，同时在DTP资金接收当前学生的配置文件（http：//www.lboro.ac.uk/services/doctoral-college/centres-partnerships/）。DTP资助的奖学金将在奖学金空缺网页（http：//www.lboro.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/next-steps/research/studentships/）以及findaphd.com和jobs.ac.uk上公布。欲了解更多信息，请联系博士凯瑟琳北，研究人员发展负责人（k. lboro.ac.uk）。

Loughborough University's EPSRC DTP represents a major £3M investment in postgraduate research (PGR) training. It is a significant component of our research strategy for engineering and the physical sciences, supporting interdisciplinary research via our Research Strategy 'CALIBRE' including Research Beacons, Global Research Challenges, Ambition and Adventurous research areas, which complement our underpinning, discipline-based research strengths. It also provides a platform for building industry partnerships, and enhancing inter-institutional collaborations afforded by major research infrastructure investments, such as through Midlands Innovation and the Energy Research Accelerator, where Loughborough is a partner. The relevant institutional areas through which DTP-funded opportunities will be aligned are: - Research Excellence in our academic Schools which primarily include; Wolfson School of Manufacturing, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering, School of Aeronautical, Automotive and Chemical Engineering, School of Science and Loughborough Design School - Research Beacons; Built Environment (B), High Value Manufacturing (HVM), Transport Technologies (TT) - Global Challenge areas; Energy (E), Health and Wellbeing (HW), Secure and Resilience Societies (SRS), Changing Environments and Infrastructure (CEI) - Leading research groups in areas such as: Advanced Materials, Built Environment, Control Engineering, Engineering Design, Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics, Information Systems, Manufacturing Technologies, Robotics and Autonomous Systems and Water Engineering. An allocation for fundamental and theoretical science will be ring fenced and will include studentships for Mathematics plus an allocation of a cluster of studentships through a competitive process to support 'Adventure' in research at Loughborough. These initiatives will secure support for important underpinning disciplines. Each of our 42-month DTP-supported studentships will receive an enhanced, cohort-based research training experience akin to that found within our Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs). These will be enhanced by training in transferable and research skills, a research training support grant and an integrated impact, outreach and public engagement component to support impact creation. Additional DTP-supported initiatives include; three 18-month Doctoral Prize Fellowships, to allow the most able students to undertake a period of self-directed post-doctoral research to establish their research career; up to 6 'Impact Fellowships' to enable students to exploit opportunities where their doctoral research offers considerable promise for future downstream application(s) and CASE Conversion awards where there is the prospect of further enhancing collaboration between academic and partner organisations. We fund up to 15 DTP vacation bursaries per year for undergraduate student placements, which helps to provide the brightest students the opportunity to contribute to and experience research. DTP funds will be allocated in two tranches in late 2017 with the PGR programmes starting in October 2018 and October 2019. A number of studentships open to non-EU candidates will be available to attract the best international doctoral candidates. Details of allocations, timetable for appointment, recruitment process and DTP training programme will be made available on the Loughborough Doctoral College website, alongside profiles of current students in receipt of DTP funding (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/services/doctoral-college/centres-partnerships/). DTP-funded studentships will be publicised on the Studentship vacancies web page (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/next-steps/research/studentships/), in addition to findaphd.com and jobs.ac.uk.
