This project is in collaboration with Cranfield University, 40 miles west of Cambridge, and is part of a major research programme entitled Technology Maturation of Wire + Arc Additive Manufacture, led by Prof. Stewart Williams.

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain) the equivalent of a UK first class honours degree (and preferably a Masters degree) in a scientific discipline that is relevant to the project.

Students applying for this project will need to self-fund their maintenance, and possibly fees.  Industrial support is available to provide a CASE top-up to the student.  Strong Home/EU students are eligible to be considered for a fully funded studentship from the Department of Engineering.  The project is for 3 years, starting in October 2015.

Expressions of interest, indicating nationality and funding status, together with a CV and the names and contact details for two referees, should be sent to Dr Hugh Shercliff (hrs<στο>eng.cam.ac.uk).

Provisional closing date:  end of March 2015, but earlier application is advised.

Applications should be made on-line via the Cambridge Graduate Admissions Office before the deadline: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/students/gradadmissions/prospec/apply/
