DTP 2018-19 Loughborough University

拉夫堡大学的EPSRC DTP代表着GB 3M在研究生研究(PGR)培训方面的重大投资。它是我们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“口径”支持跨学科研究，包括研究灯塔、全球研究挑战、雄心和冒险研究领域，这些领域补充了我们以学科为基础的研究优势。它还提供了一个平台，用于建立行业伙伴关系，并通过重大研究基础设施投资加强机构间合作，例如通过米德兰兹创新和拉夫堡合作伙伴的能源研究加速器。DTP资助机会将通过的相关机构领域是：-我们学术学院的卓越研究，主要包括：沃尔夫森制造、电机和机械工程学院、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-研究灯塔；建造环境(B)、高价值制造(HVM)、运输技术(TT)-全球挑战领域；能源(E)、健康与福祉(HW)、安全与弹性学会(SRS)、变化环境与基础设施(CEI)--领先的研究团队，涉及先进材料、建筑环境、控制工程、工程设计、流体动力学与空气动力学、信息系统、制造技术、机器人与自主系统以及水工程等领域。基础科学和理论科学的分配将受到限制，将包括数学学生奖学金，以及通过竞争性程序分配一批学生奖学金，以支持拉夫堡大学的研究“冒险”。这些举措将确保对重要的基础学科的支持。我们每个为期42个月的DTP资助的学生将接受强化的、基于队列的研究培训体验，类似于我们的博士培训中心(CDTS)内的培训。这些将通过培训可转让和研究技能、研究培训支助赠款和综合影响、外联和公众参与部分来加强，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，以确立他们的研究生涯；最多六个“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巨大希望的机会(S)；以及案例转换奖，在这些奖学金中，有可能进一步加强学术组织与合作伙伴之间的合作。我们每年为本科生实习提供多达15个DTP假期助学金，这有助于为最聪明的学生提供为研究做出贡献和体验的机会。DTP资金将在2017年底分两批分配，PGR方案将于2018年10月和2019年10月开始。将向非欧盟候选人开放一些学生名额，以吸引最好的国际博士候选人。详细的拨款、任命时间表、招生程序和DTP培训计划将在拉夫堡博士生学院的网站上提供，同时还将提供接受DTP Funding(http://www.lboro.ac.uk/services/doctoral-college/centres-partnerships/).的在校学生的简介除findphd.com和jobs.ac.uk外，dtp资助的学生名额将在学生职位空缺网页(http://www.lboro.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/next-steps/research/studentships/)，上公布。欲了解更多信息，请联系研究员发展负责人凯瑟琳·诺斯博士(k.North@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.
