Default Industrial CASE Research PhD Fellowship

Industrial CASE Research Studentship
Steel chemistry and processing
University of Birmingham associated with Corus
SCHOLARSHIP COVERS ONLY:- Up to £15.5k depending on applicant (tax free)

Looking for an opportunity to combine industrial experience with a research project leading to a PhD?

The oil and gas industry require large diameter steel pipes of higher strength and toughness to exploit reserves in harsh environments. This puts pressure on pipe manufacturers and steel producers to develop improved steel grades and / or processing methods to meet these increasing demands. This industrial CASE PhD studentship will investigate the relationships between steel chemistry and processing (plate rolling and large diameter pipe forming) and their influence on properties, including Battelle performance. The project is in collaboration with Corus (Construction and Industrial) and will therefore give the successful PhD student the opportunity to spend time at the company as part of their research work.

Candidates must be UK or EU residents (stipend for EU students is up to £11.4k depending on the candidate due to different funding arrangements) and should have a 1st or 2.1 in a relevant science or engineering subject, such as materials or mechanical engineering, or physics. Initial enquiries to Dr Claire Davis (tel: 0121 414 5174; email: c.l.davis@bham.ac.uk).
