PhD Studentship in Condensed Matter Physics; Advanced materials for next-generation spintronics

Durham University
Department of Physics
From electric motors to advanced data storage devices, ferromagnetic materials have transformed the modern world. Building on this progress today, ‘spintronics’ promise a new paradigm of beyond-CMOS digital technology, whereby information is processed using the spin of an electron, as opposed to its charge.

Investigating the molecular grammar of biomolecular condensates through single-molecule biophysics

Durham University
Department of Biosciences
Many cell types exhibit liquid-like biomolecular condensates (https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aaf4382), however, the interplay between their assembly, “molecular grammar” by which the sequences, structures and interactions of biomolecules determine and the microenvironment assemble into condensates govern the resulting functional properties remains a fascinating mystery.

PhD Studentship in Condensed Matter Physics; Computational Multiphase Soft Matter

Durham University
Department of Physics
Interfaces of drops, bubbles, sheets, and filaments govern how soft‑matter flows exchange mass, momentum, and energy—from the jets that set droplet sizes to the instabilities that decide whether thin films stay intact or rupture. Read more

PhD Studentship in Physics 'Forecasting Atmospheric Optical Turbulence for Astronomy and Space Applications'

Durham University
Department of Physics
Can we predict how atmospheric turbulence will affect our ability to communicate with satellites, observe the Universe or track objects in orbit? Atmospheric turbulence limits free-space optical communications, astronomy and optical space surveillance, yet predicting instantaneous turbulence at a particular location remains challenging.
