Shape the energy of the future

Interested in a PhD in fusion research?
Find out more at our Open Day at Culham, Oxfordshire,
25 November 2009

Join us at the hottest place on Earth to see how you can apply your knowledge to combat global warming. At UKAEA Culham, researchers run experiments at over 100 million degrees C to develop fusion, the ultimate clean energy source.

Culham is the world’s leading fusion laboratory with the European flagship machine JET and the UK research programme, centred on the MAST experiment. Much of our work is focused on international collaborations, including the new ITER project being built in France – the stepping stone to commercial fusion power.

We fund a range of PhDs each year in partnership with UK universities in areas including:
• Plasma physics – theory and experiments
• Materials science
• Engineering and technology

The Open Day is being organised by UKAEA Culham and the Fusion Doctoral Training Network led by the University of York. Several leading universities will attend to describe PhD opportunities in fusion and related research.
