The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and the University of Nottingham are offering a co-funded PhD, giving scholars in engineering subjects the opportunity to study alongside world-leading academics.
The MTC is an independent Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) aimed at de-risking and accelerating the adoption of disruptive technologies within the UK manufacturing sphere. Supported by the UK government, the MTC works closely with industrial partners and other research organisations to deliver world leading innovation across all levels of the UK’s industrial landscape, from SMEs and start-ups to OEMs and large-scale global manufacturers.
These studentships are aligned with MTC’s key technology roadmaps and capability development activities, providing students with an opportunity to contribute directly to the advancement of strategic technologies. Each student will benefit from support by a senior MTC engineer who will work closely with the academic supervisor to maximise the value of MTC’s involvement with the PhD project.
There will be opportunities to work in MTC’s formidable facilities, and to enhance the research through access to its advanced manufacturing workshop capabilities and holistic network of experienced research engineers. This will allow students to experience MTC’s progressive and dynamic working culture in an inclusive, caring, and open environment.
