Would you like to find out about the career opportunities for Physicists at Rolls Royce in Derby ? A special site visit has been arranged on Wednesday, 7 March from 1pm – 5pm, and a very limited number of places are available for Sheffield students to join. The visit will begin with a talk from an engineering fellow on “Why Rolls-Royce needs Physicists”. The talk will go through some of the grand challenges Rolls-Royce has from a Materials and Engineering perspective and highlight how a Physics qualification is incredibly valuable to Rolls-Royce in solving these challenges. The visit will then continue with a tour of the Rolls-Royce Technology Exhibition which showcases some of the world’s most advanced power systems created by Rolls-Royce and explains technology and innovation behind them. Location: Rolls-Royce, Derby, the Elton Road site, DE24 8EG. If you are interested in attending, please send me an email (Christina: c.metcalfe@sheffield.ac.uk) by 1st March at 5pm with the foll

Nuclear Graduates Wed 28 February 2-3pm in G34a, Hicks  - ALL WELCOME! Come along to find out all about the Nuclear Graduates programme and career opportunities in this area.

A PhD studentship is available as part of the 5-year £4.8m “Brains on Board” EPSRC Programme Grant ( http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/P006094/1 ), to start in September 2018. This project will develop neuromorphic control systems for autonomous flying robots, based on studies of the honeybee brain and behaviour, that integrate a suite of important behaviours: flight control, multi-modal learning, navigation, sensory integration and decision-making. When deployed, such autonomous robots will be able to explore novel, unstructured terrain, learn the spatial layout of the environment and identify and localise key items of interest based on learned multimodal signatures. We are offering a PhD in computational neuroscience to contribute to the goal of understanding how the honeybee brain generates a rich behavioural repertoire. This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic. The successful candidate will be able to build neural models using our in-house tools Spine

The eMentoring scheme aims to provide you with valuable insights into your employment options by linking you up with a professional working in an area of interest to you. A mentor (possibly someone who graduated from your course) can give you practical information, advice and guidance, as well as share the benefits of their experience..You may want to know about the typical activities of a particular role, about job search and strategies that will improve your chances of success in the graduate job market, or steps that will help you make the transition from student to graduate trainee.   How the scheme works We operate two schemes per academic year in Autumn (October– December) and Spring (February-May). Communication is primarily via email and /or Skype. Your mentor may be able to meet with you face- to- face, but this not always practical and it is not a requirement. As a guideline, we suggest your mentoring will require approximately 10 hours of commitment. This includes

Sellafield led the development of the UK’s nuclear industry, from the production of plutonium for the country’s nuclear deterrent programme through to the development of nuclear power generation. Today we are faced with the challenge of cleaning up the legacy of the site’s early operations, including some of the most hazardous nuclear facilities in Europe. Each chapter of Sellafield’s history delivered great benefit for the country while creating a complex nuclear clean-up challenge for which there are no blueprints. Decommissioning the site will take us more than 100 years and there is much still that we don’t know. Every day we are building greater certainty and we will be the generation that makes demonstrable progress in cleaning up Sellafield. Covering six square kilometres, the site in West Cumbria is home to more than 200 nuclear facilities and the largest inventory of untreated nuclear waste in the world. We employ approximately 11,000 people who, along with our supply chain pa

The Trustees of the Child Health Research (CHR) CIO have once again agreed to fund the Summer Vacation Studentship Scheme for this year. Up to ten studentships will be available for undergraduate students studying science or medicine with maintenance support of £190 per week for a period of up to eight weeks.
