<p class="MsoNormal">The call is now out for PhD proposal to the Diamond Science and Technology CDT. This is Warwick led but Strathclyde is a partner. Whilst proposals need to be related to diamond, it isn’t meant to be a closed shop - new areas are welcome.
There is some limited preference given in the selection process to those contribute to the teaching and admin on the CDT but, again not to the extent that others are excluded and it comes well down the list compared to quality of the project and student. As
explained in the email below, there is a very strong requirement for the CDT to leverage non EPSRC studentship funding - so a request for partial support is much more likely to be funded. If you are at all interest, I’m happy to discuss this further.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">One thing worth noting is that students do an MSc in Warwick in their first year, so this cohort wouldn't start at Strathclyde until autumn 2017 (but they do come with a good grounding in diamond science via the MSc including experience
of working on two ten week mini-projects in another diamond labs).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">We invite you to submit PhD project proposals for Cohort 3 of the Diamond CDT (cohort intake Oct 2016). As in previous years the project is expected
to be multi-disciplinary and you will be asked to provide names and project descriptions of two mini-projects that will run at partner universities or industry (please make sure you have discussed these in detail with the necessary people before submitting
the form). We actively encourage the links made during the mini-projects to be developed through the PhD. If you require help on who would make suitable project partners for your proposed work please contact Mark Newton (Director) for advice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">This year the information required will be submitted on-line at<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dst/intranet/proposalform"><span style="color:#954F72">http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dst/intranet/proposalform</span></a>.
The password for the form<b>DSTPhD2016</b>. Please submit project proposals by Monday 9<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>November for consideration by the CDT management board. The Management Board will meet in the week beginning 9<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>November
and selected projects will be rapidly prioritized for funding. Please do not delay in highlighting the DST CDT scheme to potential candidates and encourage them to send in CVs via the website; we can then bring projects of potential interest to their attention.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Although there will be some fully EPSRC funded PhD studentships available we ask you to use this as an opportunity to actively explore links with
industry, as the CDT should be able to provide at least matching funds. The full cost of a Diamond CDT studentship is £ 88,071 (based on 2015/16 stipend/fees level), so half funding constitutes a contribution of £ 44,036. You are also encouraged to think
creatively about other means to match studentship funding e.g. through funding from your own university, charity, EU<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>etc</i>. We can only draw on the EPSRC funding if we generate sufficient funding from other sources
(2 EPSRC students are generated for 1<i>other source</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>funded student).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Note, if you have already received a fully funded EPSRC studentship then you will need to be making an excellent case for why the management board
should allocate provision of a second fully funded studentship during the 5 year lifetime of the Diamond CDT.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
