Doctoral Training Partnerships in the Faculty of Science and Engineering

We are a member of several Doctoral Training Programmes and Partnerships in Science and Engineering, covering a wide range of research areas including risk and uncertainty, environmental sciences and physics.

Centre for Doctoral Training for Innovation in Data Intensive Science (LIV.INNO)

The Liverpool Centre for Doctoral Training for Innovation in Data Intensive Science (LIV.INNO) is an inclusive hub for training diverse cohorts of excellent students in data intensive science. The focus of the centre will be on addressing the data challenges presented by research in astronomy, nuclear, theoretical, particle and accelerator physics.

Data Analytics and Society

The Centre for Doctoral Training encourages significant advances which bring together social science with methods from mathematics, computing and the natural sciences.

Doctoral Training Centre in Biofilms Innovation, Technology and Engineering (BITE)

The Doctoral Training Centre in Biofilms Innovation, Technology and Engineering (BITE) will train PhD researchers at the interface of physical and life sciences to understand the behaviour of biofilms, which are central to the global challenges of Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), health, food security, clean water and energy.

Doctoral Training Centre in Next-Generation Materials Chemistry

The Centre will train PhD graduates at the interface of physical science, AI, data science, and robotics to create the leaders in data-enabled science that UK industry and academia requires to deliver R&D 4.0.

Energy Transfer Technologies Skills and Training Hub

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded Energy Transfer Technologies Skills and Training Hub aims to train the next generation of leaders in energy transfer technologies relevant for defence and other related applications.

Centre for Doctoral Training in Distributed Algorithms

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Centre for Doctoral Training in Distributed Algorithms will develop future leaders equipped with the essential skills needed by our partner organisations while, at the same time, also producing high-performance solutions for the forward-thinking businesses. The learning nurtured at this centre will be based on anticipation of the hardware resources arriving on the desks of students after they graduate, rather than the hardware available now. The Centre for Doctoral Training in Distributed Algorithms is led by the University with support from the Science and Technology Funding Council's Hartree Centre.

Net Zero Maritime Energy Solutions

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Centre for Doctoral Training in Net Zero Maritime Energy Solutions involves regional, national and international partners. 52 PhD projects will be co-created focusing on a wide range of net zero maritime challenges. This includes maritime-based renewable energy, offshore to onshore energy distribution and environmental impacts of renewable energy generation.

Nuclear Energy - Growing Skills for Reliable Economic Energy from Nuclear (GREEN)

The mission of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Centre for Doctoral Training in Nuclear Fission: Next Generation Nuclear, is to develop future research leaders to support the UK's strategic nuclear programmes. This includes nuclear legacy clean-up, new build power stations and defence and security.

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Doctoral Training Partnership

This Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Doctoral Training Partnership supports doctoral training in any areas of engineering and the physical sciences with relevance to the EPSRC remit including chemistry, engineering, information and communications technologies, materials, mathematical sciences and physics.

Low Carbon Eco-Innovatory (LCEI)

LCEI is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). It offers free assistance to help local companies develop new and improved goods, processes and services, through partnerships with university researchers, students and academic staff.

Companies from any sector can receive assistance, the project is not bound by sector, and is not exclusively for traditional 'green' products. Current projects span engineering, environmental science, electronics, chemistry, planning, management, architecture, integrative biology, computing science and mathematics. 

North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (NWSSDTP)

NWSSDTP is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). There are 20 NWSSDTP pathways at the University of Liverpool to which candidates can apply for studentships, including:

  • Development and Humanitarianism in an Unequal World
  • Geography and Environment
  • Planning and Environment
  • Social Anthropology
  • Social Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
  • Social Statistics.

Doctoral Training Programme in Adapting to the Challenges of a Changing Environment (ACCE)

ACCE is a partnership between the Universities of Sheffield, Liverpool and York, and the Natural Environment Research Council’s (NERC) Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) providing doctoral training in the biological components of the natural environment and related disciplines.

Science and Technologies Facilities Council (STFC) Doctoral Training Programmes

STFC supports PhD training for astronomy, particle and nuclear physics students in UK university departments.
