Developing novel Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Methods for Pulsed Dipolar Spectroscopy and Quantum Information Processing
In the last decade significant improvements in the hardware available for Electron Paramagnetic Resonance measurements. Read more
Taking Light Induced Electron Paramagnetic Resonance In Cell for Biological Structural Determination
Studying the structure of proteins and other biological systems is an important step in understanding their function. Most structural studies are conducted in environments that are far away from native conditions, such as those found inside a cell. Read more
Shining A Light On Magnetic Resonance
Many important reactions and processes in chemistry and biochemistry are started by light. A photon of light interacts with a molecule, or part of a molecule, known as a chromophore generating an excited state in which an electron is promoted into a higher energy orbital. Read more
Next Generation Fusion Power – Developing Additive Material Repair Processes for Remote In-Situ Operation – University of Manchester & RACE @ UKAEA
A fully-funded PhD studentship is available at Manchester University, working in close collaboration within the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Materials and Department of Engineering for Sustainability and RACE/UKAEA. Read more
NMR approaches for understanding mass transfer in microbial biofilms and sessile microbial communities
Biofilms are structured sessile communities of microorganisms with relevance in many areas of life. They are almost omnipresent in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Read more
Assessing the contribution of the human microbiome to paediatric cancer and predisposition and chromosomal instability syndromes
A self-funded PhD studentship is available in the laboratories of Andrew McBain, Stefan Meyer and Chris Knight. The project aims to study the microbiome in paediatric cancer predisposition and chromosomal instability syndromes (CIS). Read more
Computation modelling of biological response to radiation at tissue level for Proton Therapy
Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) is a radically new type of radiotherapy that has the potential to improve the precision and targeting of radiotherapy leading to fewer side effects, faster recovery and better outcomes for patients. Read more
New NMR methods for complex mixture analysis
Applications are invited from students with independent funding for PhD research in the development and application of novel methods in NMR spectroscopy. Read more
Understanding & Controlling Generative NLP Models
Motivation. Large Language Models such as ChatGPT have demonstrated the ability to generate high quality answers to complex questions and instructions, demonstrating the ability of these models to learn and encode complex linguistic, context and inference patterns. Read more
Mechanisms underlying the effects of light and visual stimuli on mood
Light is not only important for vision, light responsiveness extends to fundamental aspects of mood, cognition, and performance. Read more
Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins in the DNA damage response and cancer
A self-funded PhD studentship is available in the laboratories of Christine Schmidt, Stefan Meyer and Anthony Whetton. Read more
Ion irradiation of advanced nuclear fuels
Nuclear fission power currently accounts for 20% of UK energy production, making it a key low-carbon energy source for reducing greenhouse gases and meeting the governments New-Zero target by 2050. Read more
Collective problem-solving and rationality in early childhood
Although the traditional accounts view reasoning as an individual skill, recent accounts emphasize its social dimension, namely how collectives make inferences to reach joint rational decisions maximizing individual and collective outcomes. Read more
Functional dissection of disease associated genetic loci in rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of the joints and has a high socioeconomic burden. Read more
