Stephen Hoskins of Centre for Fine Print Research at the University of the West of England (Bristol, UK) has made 3DPI aware of a number of opportunities that have opened up at the centre with a specific focus on 3D printing research and education.
A partnership between the Centre for Fine Print Research and The National Gallery, UK, has resulted in sponsorship for an AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Studentship focusing on: ‘2.5D and 3D image capture and print in the cultural heritage field – evaluation of current and developing technologies, potential applications and practical workflows.’ The university is seeking applicants for the research project now.The scholarship, which will be available from October 2014, consists of an annual maintenance bursary of c.£14,413 per annum, subject to satisfactory progress, for up to three years. In addition, full-time tuition fees will be covered for three years and a travel allowance is also available. The deadline for applicants is 5pm, 30th June 2014.
October of this year will also see the centre become part of the new MA Design course, which offers students — from a range of creative backgrounds — the opportunity to develop, challenge and extend their design practice at an advanced level.
Thenew MA in Design is delivered through a series of project-based modules, through which students will engage with real-world problems and issues of relevance to contemporary design practice. Working individually and collaboratively students will be encouraged to develop skills, knowledge and creativity commensurate with the needs of professional practice in design. The course provides a creative context for practice-based exploration and experimentation, through which students will receive support to develop innovativedesign solutions. Students will gain the opportunity to creatively exploit appropriate materials, technologies and techniques with particular emphasis on the research excellence of the University of the West of Englandin the fields of art, design and 3D printing.
As stated, but just in case you missed it, the deadline for applications is 5pm on the 30th June. To apply download and complete the application form and send it directly to the UWE Graduate School. Further admission information is available by telephoning 0117 32 83333 or emailing [email protected].
Some great opportunities for candidates looking to explore and develop a career in the 3D printing industry.
