Closing date

Call summary
The Faraday Institution funds universities to recruit students to become part of the Faraday Institution PhD programme, with cohort intakes from 2018 onwards. Proposals for topics are now sought for the 2022 cohort. Underwriting support for the 2022 cohort has not yet been secured through the Faraday Battery Challenge and EPSRC; discussions are ongoing and a decision is expected this Autumn. Should underwriting for the 2022 cohort be confirmed, the Faraday Institution will be in a position to fund one studentship, joint funded by ISIS, with an October 2022 start date.
Scientific scope
Proposals must be in the area of electrochemical energy storage and be aligned with the goals and research challenges of the Faraday Institution and of the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. An ISIS staff scientist must be a co-applicant and co-supervisor and play a full and equal role in the studentship project and supervision, including the interviewing of potential candidates.
PI eligibility
Studentships will be awarded to the best proposals received by the closing date of 26th November 2021. Proposals will be reviewed by a panel of ISIS and Faraday experts who will look at the scientific quality of the proposal (40%), the facility development aspect of the project (40%) and the quality of the PhD training provided (20%).
