HetSys is a recently established EPSRC-supported Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) which trains people to challenge current state-of-the-art in computational modelling of heterogeneous, real-world systems across a range of research themes which this year include nanoscale devices, superalloys, laser-plasma interactions etc and future medicines.

The HetSys team are now recruiting a third cohort of enthusiastic students from across the physical sciences who enjoy using their mathematical skills and thinking flexibly to solve complex problems to join our new EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems at the University of Warwick, UK. Our exciting range of PhD projects for 2021 can be found on our webpage.

HetSys is built around a closely knit, highly collaborative team of academics from five science departments (Physics, Engineering, Chemistry, Mathematics and the Warwick Manufacturing Group) at Warwick. With its project partners HetSys is developing talented, energetic PhD students to push boundaries in this exciting field. The students will therefore inspire new ideas, approaches and innovation and become future leaders in developing new technologies.

The next HetSys Open Day will be held online on the afternoon of Wed 20th January 2021, registration is now open via https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/hetsys/events/opendays/

Full funding is available for 10-12 candidates, including both those who meet UK residency criteria plus a small number of international students. Applications for the international studentships close on 21 January 2021. We require at least a 2(i) honours degree at BSc or an integrated masters degree (e.g. MPhys, MChem, MSci, MEng etc.) in a physical sciences, mathematics or engineering discipline. The studentships pay a stipend to cover maintenance as well as paying the university fees and research training support. The stipend is at the standard UKRI rate (for 2020/21 that is £15,285 per annum).

Please pass this message on to potentially interested candidates. For more details of the HetSys training programme, our current PhD Projects or to register for the open day see the HetSys webpage at https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/hetsys or contact us by email at [email protected].
