  Biophysical modelling of bacterial cell wall architectures
University of Sheffield Department of Physics and Astronomy
  Research Group: Biological Physics
  Dr B Chakrabarti
Application Deadline: 23 January 2019
Bacterial cell walls are examples of self-assembled composite structures that are formed out of equilibrium. In recent times the text book view of bacterial cell wall has been modified as a result of high resolution imaging studies[1, 2].

  Computational projects to investigate novel magnetic phenomena in oxides
University of Sheffield Department of Physics and Astronomy
  Research Group: Inorganic Semiconductors
  Prof G Gehring
Applications accepted all year round
A new research area is developing called Spintonics. This means that it is electronics in which both the charge and the spin of the mobile electrons play a role.

  COSINE-100 - Search for Dark Matter Annual Modulation
University of Sheffield Department of Physics and Astronomy
  Research Group: Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
  Prof N Spooner
Application Deadline: 23 January 2019
The Sheffield group has pioneered the search for dark matter using Sodium Iodide crystals and is now participating in the search for a galactic particle dark matter signals using the so-called annual modulation signal as part of the new COSINE-100 experiment on South Korea.

  Cosmic-Ray Muons in Different Applications
University of Sheffield Department of Physics and Astronomy
  Research Group: Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
  Dr V Kudryavtsev
Application Deadline: 23 January 2019
Cosmic-ray muons are known to be useful in applications beyond particle astrophysics. They have helped with mapping structure of volcanoes and with finding voids in various geological structures.
