A call for prospective supervisors of six fully-funded home student, doctoral studentships to supervise doctoral students on energy demand reduction topics.
We are pleased to announce a call for prospective supervisors of six fully-funded home student, doctoral studentships to supervise doctoral students on inter-disciplinary, energy demand topics at UK universities that form part of the consortium of the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS).
Applications will include a completed application form, a four-page research proposal and a statement (up to 2 pages) from the prospective host university about supervisory and training arrangements and any other information relevant to assessing the quality of the academic environment.
Successful applicants will be expected to recruit a suitable student through their universities’ own procedures for doctoral student admission. The timescales of this application process are intended to allow student recruitment for a 2023/24 academic year start date.
