Fully Funded PhD Programs at QUB
Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs / fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.
Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Summary of PhD Program
The introduction of electrified powertrains in the bus sector has raised new challenges in achieving step changes in vehicle lightweighting. Vehicle weight has a significant impact on the energy efficiency and passenger carrying capacity of the bus vehicle, and therefore ensuring the structural weight is minimised without compromising safety is a key objective. This PhD will explore new FE based optimisation workflows that can enable the rapid design of large-scale lightweight vehicle structures. Such workflows are required to enable structural design to meet a diverse range of constraints, including strength, stiffness, durability, mass, passenger / systems packaging, manufacturability and commonality constraints. Although numerical optimisation is an integral part of the design process of single design large volume structural solutions, bespoke operator requirements with smaller production runs have to date made full numerical optimisation inappropriate for a range of vehicle structures.
Application Deadline: 15 December 2023.
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Summary of PhD Program
Standard solutions exist for Industry 4.0 compliant systems in production planning however, their introduction and efficient application require significant customisation to align with systems and practices that represent years of development within companies which are core to their operations. This project seeks to fill a gap in digital technologies and applications for the understanding and management of production systems in the manufacturing sector. The aim is to develop a digital operations strategy for the manufacture of materials handling equipment spanning commercial off the shelf COTS solutions and current best practice in the sector.
Application Deadline: 15 December 2023
