PhD Studentships At The Centre For Doctoral Training In Sustainable Hydrogen at University of Nottingham

Sustainable Hydrogen provides low-carbon solutions as an energy store, supporting the rapid deployment of renewable energy generation, and as an energy vector, decarbonising the transport and heat sectors. The challenges for sustainable hydrogen innovations are multidisciplinary and encompass science, engineering, social and economic issues. There is a need for creative innovators who have the skill-set to take novel concepts and ideas from initial inspiration through to a commercial reality. The Sustainable Hydrogen Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) is seeking PhD applications from individuals who wish to join a vibrant research community where diverse ideas are shared around a common vision for a low-carbon future.

“This is a really exciting time to be researching hydrogen technologies. There will be big changes needed to the energy system in the next five to ten years.” Professor Gavin Walker, Director of the Sustainable Hydrogen CDT

The Universities of Nottingham, Loughborough, Birmingham and Ulster have joined forces to become a national CDT in Sustainable Hydrogen. The CDT, supported by the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC), is collaborating with over 40 companies and organisations to provide a new integrated PhD experience. You will be joining a multidisciplinary team of PhD researchers, supervised by world leading experts, with access to excellent research facilities across the Universities and at our collaboration partners.

The CDT offers a training programme which supports the cohort throughout their PhD journey and providing the multidisciplinary training you’d expect, but also developing entrepreneurial, project and management skills along with the skills needed to communicate your ideas to a wide range of audiences. The CDT provides opportunities to undertake research in industry and to visit our international research partners. Researchers are also supported and encouraged to present their work at international meetings. There are also opportunities to inspire the next generation of hydrogen innovators, through outreach activities with schools and to learn more about the influence science and engineering can have on policy and policymakers at both a local and national level.
