PhD studentships for soft matter scientists
Organization: University of Edinburgh
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland
Field: Physics
Requirements:
Primary Degree or equivalent in Physics;
Due to funder's restrictions, full studentships are only available to UK nationals. EU citizens who obtained their first degree in the UK are also eligible to apply.
Abstract:
A variety of PhD studentships are available for experimentalists to join the Soft Matter and
Description:
We have a range of projects available from September 2011 in areas
including: soft matter for food applications, flow of multi-phase materials, biological physics
and soft composites for Lithium batteries. In addition to those graduating in physics we are
also interested in applications from chemists, food scientists and other biological / physical /
materials scientists.
Potential supervisors are: Prof Wilson Poon (soft matter and biological physics); Prof Cait
MacPhee (biomaterials); Prof Charles Cockell (Geomicrobiology); Dr Paul Clegg (soft matter
and colloidal materials); Dr Simon Titmuss (viruses and interfacial soft matter); Dr Job
Thijssen (energy materials). We employ specialist support staff to assist with project
preparation. As well as the group's own laboratories (which include wet-lab facilities for
chemistry and biology) we make continual use of COSMIC (the Collaborative Optical
Spectroscopy, Micromanipulation and Imaging Centre). This is a state-of-the art laboratory
for the optical interrogation of soft and biological matter, housed within the School.
