Institute of Engineering Surveying & Space Geodesy
School of Civil Engineering
Fully funded PhD Scholarships (Three)
The IESSG is an international centre of excellence based at one of the
UK’s strongest research–led universities. The Institute is part of the
School of Civil Engineering, which received a Grade 5 in the last RAE and
22/24 in its Teaching Quality Assessment. IESSG is housed in excellent
purpose-built accommodation in the centre of Nottingham’s renowned
University Park campus. The University is one of the most popular in the
UK with ten potential students typically competing for every place.
We are delighted to offer three PhD Scholarships, each of which will
provide tuition fees and a stipend of at least the EPSRC minimum rate,
which is £12,300 for 2006/07, rising by £300 per annum in subsequent
years. Please note that the stipend is tax-free and this makes it the
equivalent of a salary of around £16,000 plus the other benefits that are
available to students. Due to the restrictions imposed by the sponsors,
these scholarships are only available to UK/EU students who have been
resident in the UK for three years.
The IESSG now has strong multidisciplinary activities, which include
satellite navigation and positioning, photogrammetry, sensor integration,
laser scanning, remote sensing, data fusion and GIS. This encompasses all
aspects of research, from fundamental science to realised applications in
fields as diverse as space weather, coastal zone monitoring, 3D landscape
modelling, bridge monitoring, sea-level studies, geodynamics, and
meteorology.
