Brunel University London DTP Mobility Pilot 2020 2023

英国工业战略的实施在很大程度上取决于工业研究和创新的加强，而这反过来又取决于经过严格研究培训的工程师。我们对拟议的EPSRC博士流动试点项目的愿景是通过培养未来的工程师队伍，培养他们的技能，经验和知识，推动可持续技术和干预措施的研究和创新，从而最大限度地提高英国的可持续发展领导力。一旦他们毕业，工程师将成为他们公司和更广泛行业内研究和开发持续增长的核心。因此，该项目旨在推动工程领域的研发强度大幅提高，这一领域在过去十年的大部分时间里一直处于静止状态，促进与研究基地的更多接触并提高生产力。与工业合作伙伴Constellium，TWI等合作，博士培训将提供给合作伙伴组织内指定担任可持续发展领导角色的工程师。工程师将开展有针对性的战略研究项目，支持创新和创造新的解决方案，技术和知识。这些工程师将在博士期间继续受雇，同时也在布鲁内尔注册。他们将受益于有针对性的培训，发展和指导，以认识和解决从行业转向博士研究的背景文化转变。这一新的博士学位途径将培养一批新的博士合格工程师，他们具有驾驭工业界和学术界的技能和信心，能够开展和领导强有力的合作研究项目，开发跨部门网络，并开发在工业界和学术界都具有吸引力的职业简介。随着工程和能源行业对来自其他行业和其他国家的熟练和知识渊博的员工的竞争，以及劳动力的老龄化，这一试点将使我们能够与希望为其工程师和技术人员提供职业机会的行业合作伙伴一起测试新模式。该模式经过精心设计，以满足工程师的技能需求，他们将领导可持续技术的发展，促进清洁增长，同时解决行业对博士培训的更多吸收所面临的挑战和障碍。我们将在试点期间支持9名博士（2020年秋季开始的3名和2021年开始的6名），提供资金以支持每位研究人员的费用以及培训和发展成本，并根据绩效奖金支付工资。博士可以是全职或兼职。全职，博士项目将为至少42和不超过48个月的持续时间。

Delivery of the UK's Industrial Strategy strongly depends on an intensification of research and innovation in industry, which in turn depends on engineers who have undergone rigorous research training. Our vision for the proposed EPSRC Doctoral Mobility Pilot project is to foster sustainability leadership in the UK by developing future cohorts of engineers with the skills, experience and knowledge to drive research and innovation in sustainable technologies and interventions, thereby maximising the advantage to the UK of the global shift to clean growth. Once they have graduated, the engineers will act as the nucleus of a sustained growth in research and development within their companies and the wider sector. As a result, the project aims to drive a significant increase in R&D intensity in the engineering sector, an area which has been static for much of the last decade, promoting greater engagement with the research base and driving productivity. Working with industrial partners Constellium, TWI and others, the doctoral training will be delivered to engineers earmarked for sustainability leadership roles within the partner organisation. The engineers will undertake targeted strategic research projects that support innovation and the creation of new solutions, technologies and knowledge. The engineers will remain employed for the duration of the PhD, while also registered with Brunel. They will benefit from targetted training, development and mentorship to recognise and address the contextual culture shifts of moving from industry to doctoral study. This new PhD pathway will develop a new breed of PhD qualified engineers with the skills and confidence to navigate both industry and academia, to carry out and lead robust collaborative research projects, to develop cross-sector networks and develop career profiles that are attractive across both industry and academia. With competition across the engineering and energy sectors for skilled and knowledgeable staff, from other sectors and other countries, as well as an ageing workforce, this pilot will enable us to test the new model with industry partners who want to promote career opportunities for their engineers and technical staff. The model has been carefully designed to meet the skills needs of the engineers who will lead the development of sustainable technologies that will promote clean growth, whilst addressing the perceived challenges and barriers to greater uptake of doctoral training by industry. We will support 9 PhDs during the pilot over two intakes (3 starting in Autumn 2020 and 6 starting in 2021) providing funding to support the fees and training and development costs of each researcher, and paying a salary top-up on a performance bonus basis. The PhDs can be on a full or part time basis. Full time, the PhD project will be for least 42 and no more than 48 months in duration.
