Laser Driven Neutron Sources at High Repetition Rate
Despite the high demand for neutron sources in a wide range of applications from material science to health-care [1, 2], the number of accessible neutron sources has decreased in the last years due to the phasing out of nuclear research reactors. Read more
PhD in Chemistry - Development of in situ and operando neutron imaging for real-world reactor and reaction imaging
Heterogeneous catalysis plays a major role in many process operations adopted by the chemical manufacturing sector to produce a range of chemicals that… Read more
Fully-funded PhD by Research Studentship in Advanced Neutron-Counting Algorithms
This PhD project is a joint collaboration between Lancaster University and Mirion Technologies. The nuclear engineering group at Lancaster have broad… Read more
Highly frustrated magnetic materials by neutron scattering
The goal of the project is to experimentally investigate the low-temperatures properties of several highly frustrated magnets using various neutron scattering methods. Read more
Polarised neutron spectroscopy for energy applications
Neutron spectroscopy can provide deep insight into the physics underpinning technologies necessary for the transition to net-zero. Read more
Simulation-based Inference of gravitational waves signals from black holes and neutron stars
Research Group:
Gravity Exploration Institute
Black holes and neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe, well beyond what we can produce in a laboratory and at the very edge of our understanding of physics. Read more
Probing confinement effects in catalytic systems
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
Candidates are invited to apply for a PhD in the area of structure-activity relationships in catalytic processes for the development of industrial applications. Read more
Advanced Material Development and Assessment of Cementitious Filler Materials for Long-Term Disposal of Nuclear Waste
How can concrete materials (the most utilized material in the world) offer unique solutions to the nuclear fuel cycle? How can we leverage modern cement… Read more
Nuclear data studies at the nToF facility in CERN
For the safe and efficient operation of present and future reactor designs, various neutron-induced reactions need to known to high precision. Read more
Development of Advanced Concrete Materials for Additive Manufacturing of Novel Radiation-Resistant Structures in Reactor Environments

GREEN CDT Exploration of Neutron Counting Techniques Applied to Nuclear Reactivity Measurements
When sufficient nuclear material, such as plutonium, is in close proximity, chains of fission reactions can arise. Neutrons from one fission event can induce more fissions and so on. Read more
Designing catalytic pyrolysis of biomass for green hydrogen production
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
We welcome applications for this fully funded PhD studentship project from highly motivated candidates interested in advancing technology towards Net Zero goals through development of green hydrogen production routes. Read more
New materials for solar cells
We have a vacancy for a PhD student to work on the synthesis and characterisation of new materials for solar cells. Hybrid lead halide perovskites are attracting considerable interest due to their potential as photovoltaic materials for solar cells with very high efficiencies. Read more
PhD studentship in Understanding Novel Tungsten High Entropy Alloys Ductile-Brittle & Irradiation Behaviour for Fusion, with UKAEA STEP
A 3.5-year UK PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr Sandy Knowles within the School of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Birmingham. Read more
Investigating the radiobiology of protons and BNCT in head and neck tumour treatment
Background. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 6th most common cancer worldwide with an annual incidence of ~800,000 cases/year. Read more
