Opportunities at the Centre

PhD Opportunities

We are always looking for good PhD students. Applications are always welcome from self-funded or locally supported prospective students. Funding for exceptional applicants is available through the yearly CCSR scholarships. Another possibility is to apply for a Research Fellowship in case of vacancies in our research projects and pursue a part-time PhD; this requires a suitable background and research experience (and implies a longer path towards a PhD).

In the first instance, in order to assess your funding opportunities, you may send your CV to the Group Leader in the research area of your interest:

Mobile Communications, led by Professor Rahim Tafazolli
I-Lab Multimedia and DSP, led by Professor Ahmet Kondoz
Networks, led by Professor Zhili Sun

They will be able to advise about your funding possibilities before applying formally for a PhD scholarship or Research Fellow / part-time PhD vacancy.

A more plausible path to obtain a scholarship for a PhD is by doing a MSc at Surrey and getting a distinction; this increases significantly the chances of a scholarship.

Each year we have a limited amount of EPSRC funding available. UK students may be eligible for tuition fees and living allowance in the form of an EPSRC grant, and EU students may obtain tuition fees from the EPSRC.

Research Fellowship Opportunities

From time to time, we advertise for high calibre research staff, to come and work at the Centre on one of our research projects. Current vacancies at the university are listed by human resources.
