Opportunity details
This 3.5-year PhD project is fully funded and only home candidates are eligible. The successful candidate will receive an annual stipend of £25,518 p.a. and tuition fees will be paid. We recommend that you apply early as the advert may be removed before the deadline. The project is an exciting opportunity to undertake industrially linked research in partnership with Rolls-Royce (RR) at the RR University Technology Centre (UTC) in Electrical Systems at the University of Manchester. The UTC researches a wide range of underpinning electrical technologies for applications in future gas-turbine engines, and on-board power systems for aircraft and ships. The increasing capacity and complexity of the electrical systems in these applications is creating a range of challenges at equipment and system levels, such as reducing weight, operating in extreme environments, ensuring fault tolerance, optimising system operation and minimising energy use. These challenges drive the UTC’s activities. The University of Manchester lies in the heart of Manchester and has been created by bringing together the Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST, two of Britain’s most distinguished universities, to create a powerful force in higher education and research. Its Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has approximately 95 academic staff, split across a number of research groups and is one of the largest departments of this type in the country, with a particular strength in power engineering. The increasing use of liquid cooling in aerospace electrical machines introduces direct interaction between liquid insulation and solid insulation systems, the long‑term implications of which are not yet fully understood. While liquid immersion can deliver significant performance and the...

How to apply
We recommend that you apply early as the advert may be removed before the deadline. The UTC researches a wide range of underpinning electrical technologies for applications in future gas-turbine engines, and on-board power systems for aircraft and ships. The increasing capacity and complexity of the electrical systems in these applications is creating a range of challenges at equipment and system levels, such as reducing weight, operating in extreme environments, ensuring fault tolerance, optimising system operation and minimising energy use. We are particularly interested in students with a strong understanding of insulating materials, ageing assessment and electrical machines for aerospace application.
