Fully
funded PhD Studentship in the School of Engineering

At London South Bank
University (LSBU) our applied research tackles real-world issues. We are the
top modern university in London for world-leading and internationally excellent
research in General Engineering (REF 2014) with 80% of this research awarded
the highest quality ratings of 4* or 3* for its ‘impact’ (reach and
significance). 

The Schoolof Engineering is inviting applications for a fully-funded PhD Studentship
with industry collaboration.  Funding will comprise of a stipend of circa
£15,000 per annum plus UK/EU rate tuition fees.

The purpose of the
research project is the Design, Simulation, Manufacture and Test of a Highly-Boosted
Single-Cylinder Gasoline IC engine. The project may involve 1D and 3D
Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) simulation, design (3D solid modelling,
drafting), instrumentation and experimental testing. The successful applicant
will focus on two or more areas of interest.

Candidates should
normally hold a good degree in Engineering or Science related discipline, a
keen interest in IC engines, and a willingness to engage with the Industry
collaborator working to achieve project deliverables.
