PhD in Mechanics

A competition for the fully funded Ashby PhD Scholarship in the area of Mechanics and Materials is now open at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. The Scholarship, endowed in honour of Prof M F Ashby, is open to all applicants, covers the University fee for home or overseas students, and provides a maintenance allowance at the standard UKRI rate, currently £20,780 per year. The area of Mechanics and Materials is interpreted widely, encompassing experimental, theoretical and computational methods. However, it is expected that the PhD will be supervised by a member of Academic staff working within the Mechanics, Materials and Design Group, as listed here. The precise topic of the PhD and the Supervisor can be agreed after the Scholarship is awarded.
