EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics Research Internships
Applications are open for the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Fluid Dynamics Research Internships, which will take place over summer 2025. Our Research Internships allow prospective postgraduate researchers to gain first-hand experience of the research environment in fluid dynamics at the University of Leeds. This experience will assist them to help informed decisions around progression to PGR and to develop relevant knowledge, skills and experience that can strengthen their applications to research degree opportunities. These internships are focussed on enhancing access to postgraduate research among certain underrepresented groups.
Research Internship Candidate Briefs:
- Micro-splashes: Unravelling particle-droplet interactions
- Dynamic Accretion Discs in Astrophysics
- Numerical modelling of dynamic wetting in extrusion-based coating of ceramics
- 3D printing of hierarchically structured coatings using biowaste
- Evaluation of fluid dynamic parameters on ion-exchange fluoride capture and recovery technology
Application form: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/leeds/future-fluid-dynamics-internship-programme-2025
Applications for these Internships are open to:
- Current Home (UK) fee-rated undergraduate (UG) students in their second or third year at any UK University
- UG/PGT graduates eligible for the Home (UK) fee-rate at postgraduate research (PGR)
