EPSRC CASE PhD Studentship in Modelling and Characterisation of
Carbon-Carbon Composites

Applications are invited for an EPSRC CASE PhD Studentship in Materials
Science & Engineering for Masters candidates or graduates with a good
honours degree in a physical science or engineering. The research involves
modelling and characterisation of stresses in carbon-carbon composite
aircraft disc brakes. There will be close interaction with Dunlop Aviation
Ltd.

Candidates should have a mechanical engineering or engineering materials
background, and will gain experience in composite materials and finite
element modelling techniques.

The successful candidate will receive a minimum stipend of Ł10,000 annually
for three years.

EPSRC Project PhD Studentship in Microstructure Property Relationships in
Piezoelectric Nanocomposites

Applications are invited for a project studentship in Materials Science &
Engineering for Masters candidates or graduates with a good honours degree
in a physical science or engineering. The project involves research in
processing and characterisation of novel piezoelectric nanocomposite
materials. The successful candidate will gain experience in electron
microscopy, atomic force microscopy and ceramic fabrication methods such as
hot pressing. There are opportunities for collaboration with other European
Universities.

Both projects provide the opportunity to gain experience in a wide range of
materials processing and characterising techniques and will involve
presentation of research at conferences (including an international
conference).

For informal information on both positions contact Dr. Chris Bowen of the
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Tel: (01225) 323660, email:
msscrb@materials.bath.ac.uk.

Closing date for applications is 1st October 1999
