The E3 Scholarships

In July 2013, E3 Scholarships were awarded competitively to three academics in the School of Engineering to support PhD research projects aligned to the mission and agenda of the E3. Each PhD project will involve a collaboration between the Engineering principal investigator (PI) and an official collaborator in the School of Natural Sciences.

The E3 Scholarships will fund three-year PhD projects commencing in the autumn of 2013. Each E3 scholar will be provided with full tuition fees and a stipend. Financial resources for the E3 Scholarships have been provided by the School of Engineering, supported in part by a recent philanthropic gift to the School of Engineering to assist with the start-up programme of the E3.

The three E3 Scholarship projects on offer are;
1) Shape Optimization of Convective Heat and Mass Transfer Structures
2) Birdsong Forensics for Species Identification and Separation
3) Passive Skeletal Muscle Form and Function: Engineering Insights from Zoology

PhD Scholarship in Biodiversity and Conservation

Applications are sought from suitably qualified candidates to undertake doctoral research on any aspect of biological diversity and its conservation; interdisciplinary studies are particularly welcome. The project will be funded through a Trinity Centre for Biodiversity Research (TCBR) studentship, which will include EU fees and an annual stipend of €16,000 for three years as well as a modest fund to support travel and laboratory costs. The project should reflect the research goals of the TCBR, and will commence in September 2013. The successful applicant will be registered in the School of Natural Sciences and linked with the Trinity Centre for Biodiversity Research.

Applicants must NOT have started their research at the time of application.

Information on the School can be found at http://www.naturalscience.tcd.ie/, and on the TCBR at http://www.tcd.ie/tcbr/.
