HetSys PhD Project Proposal - Advert

Project Advertisement Submission – Deadline: Monday 3rd November

To help potential applicants compare projects more easily, our student focus groups have recommended a consistent format for all advertisements. Therefore we’ve provided a standard form for you to complete by Monday 3rd November to ensure we can maximise our advertising time.

Please include the following:

A catchy and informative project title
A 100-word project outline, written to be accessible to final-year science undergraduates
A suitable image to illustrate your project (dimensions: 1170 × 375 pixels). Please note that student feedback has been largely negative regarding the use of AI-generated images.
A recent biography or a link to your University profile page

If your project is funded but you haven’t yet received formal confirmation by the deadline, we’d still appreciate receiving the completed form. We will hold off on advertising until the funding outcome is known.

Following the success of last year’s project videos, we’re planning to record short, informal clips (1–2 minutes) of supervisors talking about their projects. These will be filmed in offices or campus spaces and shared on social media to help widen the pool of potential applicants. We’ll be in touch shortly with suggested content and filming dates.

As in previous years, we’ll also be running a focus group with current HetSys students to help refine and target our advertisements more effectively.

Name of primary supervisor

Project title (100 characters max)

A project outline, written to be accessible to final-year science undergraduates (100 word max)

Project aims: set out the specific goals of the research. Students want to know what the project is trying to achieve and whether it aligns with their interests.

Project outcomes: indicate what the student might produce or discover—e.g., models, publications, software, or experimental results. This helps them envision the impact and scope of their work.

Skills the student will acquire: students are often thinking about employability and career development. Knowing what technical, analytical, or transferable skills they’ll gain is a big draw in addition to the skills the HetSys training will provide.

Please provide a link to your page or send a copy of your biography to hetsys@warwick.ac.uk. Students want to see who they will be working with and understand their background and skillset.

A suitable image to illustrate your project (dimensions: 1170 × 375 pixels). Please note that student feedback has been largely negative regarding the use of AI-generated images.
