Please note that you can apply for one Project only.
Recruitment is open until 16 May 2024 for EPSRC CDT in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience PhD Scholarships beginning study in September 2024. You may find a list of available projects on our
Scholarships page.
Applications are made directly to the University where the PhD project is based, using the ‘Apply Now’ link on the Project page. This will take you to the correct University online application portal where you will make your application. Specific instructions are given on each project page, but we have provided a broad overview below.
If you have not applied with that university before, you will need to set up an account to enable you to track the progress of your application and upload supporting documents.
With your application, you need to upload copies of the following supporting evidence:
- complete transcripts (and final degree certificate(s) where possible). If your qualification documents are not in English, you will need to supply copies of your original language documents as well as their official translation into English.
- Your Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- A completed Supplementary Application Form (please upload according to instructions on the project page).
Guidance on completing your Supplementary Application Form: The EPSRC CDT in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience is committed to generating a diverse and inclusive training programme. As part of our inclusive practices, the Centre adopts a process of assessing applicants’ experience, skills and attributes independently of personal details. To enable us to do this, we ask you, as the applicant to complete the Supplementary Application Form, omitting the following personally identifying information from the form – names, age, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation. The form is then used by the Panel to assess and select applicants for interview. The form asks for details of your education, training and employment history as well as some specific questions about your motivations and research experience and interests. It is very important that you do not include the personally identifying information specified.
Applicants must:
Remove references to: name(s), age, ethnic group, nationality, gender, religion, disability and sexual orientation.
Complete all sections of the form in font and size Calibri 11pt.
Specify the research project for which they are interested in applying.
Once fully completed, you should upload the form with your application:
Durham University – please upload when asked to add Personal Statement. The Form replaces the Personal Statement and so you do not need to complete the Personal Statement section.
University of Hull – please upload when asked to add a Research Proposal (the Form replaces the Research Proposal which is not needed for this application).
Loughborough University – please upload as part of your supporting evidence documentation.
(You will also be asked for your degree transcripts during the application process).
Please do not send your form directly to the CDT.
