Loughborough University's EPSRC DTP represents a major £3M investment in postgraduate research (PGR) training. It is a significant component of our research strategy for engineering and the physical sciences, supporting interdisciplinary research via our Research Strategy 'CALIBRE' including Research Beacons, Global Research Challenges, Ambition and Adventurous research areas, which complement our underpinning, discipline-based research strengths. It also provides a platform for building industry partnerships, and enhancing inter-institutional collaborations afforded by major research infrastructure investments, such as through Midlands Innovation and the Energy Research Accelerator, where Loughborough is a partner. The relevant institutional areas through which DTP-funded opportunities will be aligned are: - Research Excellence in our academic Schools which primarily include; Wolfson School of Manufacturing, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering, School of Aeronautical, Automotive and Chemical Engineering, School of Science and Loughborough Design School - Research Beacons; Built Environment (B), High Value Manufacturing (HVM), Transport Technologies (TT) - Global Challenge areas; Energy (E), Health and Wellbeing (HW), Secure and Resilience Societies (SRS), Changing Environments and Infrastructure (CEI) - Leading research groups in areas such as: Advanced Materials, Built Environment, Control Engineering, Engineering Design, Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics, Information Systems, Manufacturing Technologies, Robotics and Autonomous Systems and Water Engineering. An allocation for fundamental and theoretical science will be ring fenced and will include studentships for Mathematics plus an allocation of a cluster of studentships through a competitive process to support 'Adventure' in research at Loughborough. These initiatives will secure support for important underpinning disciplines. Each of our 42-month DTP-supported studentships will receive an enhanced, cohort-based research training experience akin to that found within our Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs). These will be enhanced by training in transferable and research skills, a research training support grant and an integrated impact, outreach and public engagement component to support impact creation. Additional DTP-supported initiatives include; three 18-month Doctoral Prize Fellowships, to allow the most able students to undertake a period of self-directed post-doctoral research to establish their research career; up to 6 'Impact Fellowships' to enable students to exploit opportunities where their doctoral research offers considerable promise for future downstream application(s) and CASE Conversion awards where there is the prospect of further enhancing collaboration between academic and partner organisations. We fund up to 15 DTP vacation bursaries per year for undergraduate student placements, which helps to provide the brightest students the opportunity to contribute to and experience research. DTP funds will be allocated in two tranches in late 2017 with the PGR programmes starting in October 2018 and October 2019. A number of studentships open to non-EU candidates will be available to attract the best international doctoral candidates. Details of allocations, timetable for appointment, recruitment process and DTP training programme will be made available on the Loughborough Doctoral College website, alongside profiles of current students in receipt of DTP funding (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/services/doctoral-college/centres-partnerships/). DTP-funded studentships will be publicised on the Studentship vacancies web page (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/next-steps/research/studentships/), in addition to findaphd.com and jobs.ac.uk.

拉夫堡大学的 EPSRC DTP 是对研究生研究 (PGR) 培训的 300 万英镑重大投资，它是我们工程和物理科学研究战略的重要组成部分，通过我们的研究战略“CALIBRE”（包括研究信标、全球研究）支持跨学科研究。挑战、雄心和冒险的研究领域补充了我们基于学科的研究优势，它还为建立行业伙伴关系和加强主要机构之间的合作提供了平台。研究基础设施投资，例如通过米德兰创新和能源研究加速器（拉夫堡大学是其中的合作伙伴） DTP 资助的机会将通过相关机构领域进行调整： - 我们的学术学院的卓越研究，主要包括：制造、机电工程、建筑、建筑和土木工程学院、航空、汽车和化学工程学院、科学学院和拉夫堡设计学院 - 研究信标（B）、高价值制造； (HVM)、运输技术 (TT) - 全球挑战领域、能源 (E)、健康与福祉 (HW)、安全与复原力社会 (SRS)、不断变化的环境和基础设施 (CEI) - 领域的领先研究小组：先进材料、建筑环境、控制工程、工程设计、流体动力学和空气动力学、信息系统、制造技术、机器人和自主系统以及水工程将被划分为基础和理论科学。数学奖学金以及通过竞争性过程分配的一系列学生奖学金，以支持拉夫堡的研究“冒险”。这些举措将为我们每个为期 42 个月的 DTP 支持的学生奖学金提供支持。基于队列的研究培训经验类似于我们的博士培训中心（CDT）中的经验，这些经验将通过可转移和研究技能的培训、研究培训支持拨款和综合影响得到加强，支持影响力创造的外展和公众参与部分包括：三个为期 18 个月的博士奖学金，让最有能力的学生进行一段时间的自主博士后研究，以建立他们的研究生涯；至 6 个“影响力奖学金”，使学生能够利用其博士研究为未来下游应用提供可观前景的机会，以及有望进一步加强学术与合作伙伴组织之间合作的 CASE 转换奖项。每年为本科生安置提供 15 个 DTP 假期助学金，这有助于为最聪明的学生提供参与和体验研究的机会。 DTP 资金将于 2017 年底分两期分配，PGR 项目将于 2018 年 10 月和 2019 年 10 月启动。一些向非欧盟候选人开放的奖学金将吸引最优秀的国际博士生，有关分配、任命时间表、招聘流程和 DTP 培训计划的详细信息将公布。拉夫堡博士学院网站上将提供 DTP 资助的当前学生的个人资料 (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/services/Doctor-college/centres-partnerships/)。发布在学生职位空缺网页（http://www.lboro.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/next-steps/research/studentships/）上，此外findaphd.com 和 jobs.ac.uk 欲了解更多信息，请联系研究人员发展主管 Kathryn North 博士 ([e-mail])。
