Decarbonizing the global economy can only be achieved by reducing the carbon intensity of energy sources. A key to achieving this is reducing the techno-economic barriers to replacing fossil fuel usage with low carbon and renewable sources. Solutions which reduce plant costs, improve plant efficiency, and increase plant flexibility with other energy sources, are key to delivering the UK Net Zero target.

A fully paid PhD studentship is offered at the Cambridge University Engineering Department in the area of nuclear reactor core analysis methods development. It is offered under Industrial Cooperative Awards in Science & Technology (iCASE) scheme of the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in collaboration with EDF Energy, the owner and operator of the UK nuclear reactor fleet.
We have funding for a number of 4-year PhDs, in collaboration with industry, as part of our EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Unlocking Net Zero (FIBE3 CDT), under the four following themes:
Current and disruptive technologies
Circularity and whole life approach
Al-driven digitalisation and data
Risk-based systems thinking and connectivity
Studentships are fully-funded (fees and maintenance) for eligible UK students.
