Prof William Sampson
No more applications being accepted
Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in Modelling Magneto-rheological Fluids, to work under the supervision of Dr Bill Sampson. The studentship is part of an EPSRC funded project in collaboration with the University of Oxford, to gain fundamental insight into the field-induced-assembly in magnetic colloidal systems via an integrated approach of modelling, experimentation, and computer simulation.
The PhD studentship is focussed on the theoretical aspects of the project and will involve the use of statistical geometry and probabilistic approaches to model the structures arising within magnetic colloidal model systems exposed to magnetic fields. The modelling will be guided by the experimental work and will be complemented by simulation of analogous systems, both to be carried out at Oxford. It is envisaged that the successful candidate will interact closely with the other team members working on the experiments and simulation.

Funding Notes
We seek an enthusiastic and motivated candidate who enjoys statistical problems and computing and has a minimum of a 2.1 Honours degree in applied mathematics, physics, materials science, or a related subject.
The PhD studentship will provide fees at the Home/EU rate and will pay a stipend of at least £13,590 p.a. The position is available from October 2012 or as soon as possible thereafter.
