PHD STUDENTSHIP
VERTICAL INTEGRATION OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING
VERTIGO
A PhD Studentship, in conjunction with SmithKline Beecham, is available
within the Foresight Centre for Process Analytics and Control Technology,
University of Newcastle.
VERTIGO aims to contribute to changing existing ways of working in terms of
product development and innovation through the development of a
mathematical modelling methodology that enables the vertical integration of
new (or enhanced) product development, pilot plant trials and final product
manufacturing. The key research issues relate to the minimal amount of data
available, especially on the production plant from which a model is to be
developed relative to the laboratory scale data and the fact that processes
exhibit neither linear nor steady-state behaviour.
Candidates interested in undertaking a PhD should expect to be awarded at
least a 2.1 degree (or equivalent) in any of the following disciplines: -
Chemical and Process Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Analytical
Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and/or Statistics. The successful student
will join an internationally acknowledged inter-disciplinary research team
comprising 4 Post-doctoral Researchers and 12 PhD students, working
alongside Dr Elaine Martin, a statistician. The studentships will attract
an enhanced stipend of £10,500.
