Dear all,
The School of Engineering at Newcastle University is inviting applications for a fully funded PhD studentship titled, ‘Designing Electric vehicle Commuter travel ENvironments for fuTure LifestYles (DECENTLY)’. This project is part of the ONE Planet DTP funded by the Natural and Environmental Research Council (NERC).
The details about the project and application process are available at the following link:
https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/designing-electric-vehicle-commuter-travel-environments-for-future-lifestyles-decently/?p105431
The deadline: 31st January 2019
The start date of the studentship: September 2019.
Project Description:
As a means to mitigate impending climate change and air quality issues associated to transportation emissions, the UK is set a target for 60% of new cars to be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030. Given the UK population is projected to reach 70 million over this period, it will put immense pressure on the public to adapt to electrical energy usage and commuting patterns for achieving win-win for air quality and climate change. Current research emphasises the need for radical changes to the way we travel to mitigate climate change issues. The DECENTLY project focuses on NERC’s key research area of Environmental Informatics within broader scope of Tools, Technology and Methods, mainly aiming to develop understanding on environmental issues, problems related to energy consumption, through modelling, interpretation, display and dissemination of data and information. Therefore, this PhD will focus on Climate & Climate Change and Environmental Informatics.
Please contact Dr Dilum Dissanayake ([log in to unmask]) for any project related questions and/or any general questions regarding the application process.
Best regards,
Dr Dilum Dissanayake
