DPhil Studentship - Oxford

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING SCIENCE

DPhil Studentship

Applications are invited for a DPhil studentship funded by Diamond Light Source. The Diamond Light Source is a synchrotron that accelerates a 3GeV electron beam and the project will develop control systems for improving the stability of the beam.

Candidates should have (or be close to completion of) a good Honours degree in subjects such as engineering, physics or mathematics that include a significant component of control theory and design. Knowledge of power electronics and computer networking would be an advantage. Strong MATLAB and Simulink skills are also required. A considerable amount of time will be spent on site working with staff at Diamond Light Source, so you must have excellent presentation and communication skills.

Candidates who are UK nationals, from the EU, or who have been ordinarily resident in the UK for the last 3 years, are eligible for a fully funded studentship. In this case, the remuneration will be £14200 p.a. (and will increase in subsequent years), with all fees paid. Candidates from outside the EU may be eligible to have their fees paid and receive a reduced stipend.

Candidates are expected to meet the Graduate Admissions criteria available at http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/postgrad/criteria.pdf and a full graduate application must be made at the same time as applying for this studentship. Further details about making a graduate application are available at our website by clicking 'APPLY NOW'

Please send a letter of application for the studentship, which should explain your interest in and relevant experience for the advertised post, together with a detailed CV to Mr CJ Scotcher, Senior Administrator (Contact information can be obtained via the 'View contact details' link)

Please quote DF10015 in all correspondence to the Department and in your graduate application.

The closing date for applications is noon 30th March 2010

Committed to equality and valuing diversity.
