Doctoral Training in Fusion Energy

Fusion has the potential to meet our energy needs in a
sustainable way, with minimum impact on the environment.
With the new STEP fusion power plant design programme under way, first ITER plasmas on the horizon and NIF already operating, along with world class facilities operated by UK Atomic Energy Authority and in private fusion companies, there’s never been a more exciting time to join the field!

The Fusion CDT provides a supportive, inclusive, and equitable learning and research environment across its partner organisations. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds and aim to support flexible working and part time study where possible.

We are offering funded 4 year PhD projects for autumn

Graduates from the Fusion CDT have transferable and
research skills of relevance to fusion energy, as well as
many other career pathways.
