Job description:
The University of Manchester Experimental Particle Physics group are accepting applications for the following fully-funded PhD studentship positions/schemes:
Various deadlines apply (see below): most studentships are expected to start in October 2024 but options for early or delayed start are possible (subject to available funding)
Studentships cover tuition fees plus a tax-free yearly stipend to cover living expenses. All students will be provided with all necessary resources to do their research, including a laptop, access to our local distributed computing facilities, a dedicated training programme, and a supervisory team. Students will have the opportunity to spend around one year fully-funded at the experimental site (e.g. CERN, Fermilab). In addition, a separate Research Training Support Grant will be awarded for travel and subsistence to attend conferences, summer schools, and working meetings throughout the PhD programme.
The Particle Physics group at Manchester (https://www.hep.manchester.ac.uk/) is one of the largest research groups in the UK with over 100 members, composed of both world-leading experimental and theory research groups. The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester is ranked 1st in Europe in the ShanghaiRanking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2018. More details can be found here: https://www.hep.manchester.ac.uk/study/.
Specific details about each PhD studentship scheme are given below. Candidates who are eligible for multiple scholarships/schemes do not need to submit separate applications for each: it is however useful to indicate in your application the schemes you believe you are eligible to apply for.
Interested applicants should contact the Particle Physics postgraduate coordinator Dr. Evelina Gersabeck ([email protected]) in the first instance quoting their interest in one or more schemes, and additionally apply through the University of Manchester postgraduate application system:
