Two 3.5-Year D.Phil. Studentships for UK/EU Students

Two 3.5-Year D.Phil. Studentships

The Department of Engineering Science at Oxford is offering Two 3.5-year D.Phil. studentships, available from January 2019. The studentship is available to UK or EU nationals only.

This ambitious programme will develop and apply cutting-edge experimental and theoretical techniques to make new breakthroughs in the emerging field of Guest@MOFsensing technology. The vision is to harness the structural, physical and chemical diversity of MOFs to afford nanoengineering of revolutionary functional devices for detection of mechanical, chemical, thermal, electrical and optical stimuli.

The Department of Engineering Science at Oxford is the only unified department in the UK which offers accredited courses in all the major branches of engineering – our students develop a broad view of the subject much appreciated by employers, but can also choose from a very wide range of specialist options.
