EPSRC DTP Doctoral Prize

The ESPRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship is a prestigious scheme aimed at the best recent PhD students whose PhD studies were funded in part or entirely by the EPSRC. It allows students to launch their research career by providing salary funding for 12 months beyond the point of PhD submission.  

The Doctoral Prize fellowship is an opportunity for the candidate to start their career as an independent researcher, hence applications from outside the Open University are encouraged. Doctoral Prize fellows are invited to submit their own research proposal within the remit of the EPSRC, and more specifically in one the following areas: Physics, General Engineering, Mathematical Sciences and IT, Systems Sciences and Software Engineering. The proposal will need to include an element of new research, though this can build on their PhD research. Apart from a description of the proposed research, the proposal should include a statement of planned outputs and impact activities.   

Please contact us if you are interested in this opportunity and we can provide further details including upcoming recruitment dates.
