Research and development of novel plasma targets for particle accelerators
A studentship is available on the development of discharge-ionised capillary plasma targets for applications in frontier accelerator science. Read more
PhD Studentship in Hybrid quantum communication and sensing networks
One of the most exciting recent developments in physics has been the application of quantum physics to new technologies and the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies is one of the world’s leading centres for research in this area. Read more
Fully-funded PhD Studentship: Low Level RF for the Future UK X-Ray Free Electron Laser
The UK is on a path to building an X-Ray Free Electron Laser (X-FEL). High brightness ultra-fast X-Ray pulses from an X-FEL allow the simultaneous imaging of atomic scale structure, electronic state and dynamics in a material. Read more
Quantum properties of integrated frequency combs for applications in computing, communications and sensing
Start date. 1 October 2022. Duration. 3.5yrs. Project details. Quantum states of light are playing an increasingly important role in the applications of quantum technologies, ranging from secure communications to enhanced computing and sensing (imaging, spectroscopy, etc.). Read more
PhD studentship on the Developing and Operating a Trapped Ion Quantum computer Prototype
We recently invented a method where quantum gates with trapped ions are executed by the application of voltages to a microchip in the presence of a few global radiation fields analogous to the operation of transistors in a classical computer. Read more
PhD studentship on the Construction of the first error corrected quantum computer in the UK
A consortium led by. Universal Quantum. , a University of Sussex spin-out company, has been awarded a £7.5m grant from Innovate UK’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund to build a scalable quantum computer that can correct its own errors and apply this technology to high-impact problems in the aerospace industry. Read more
Advanced optical wireless communications based on deep-ultraviolet micro-LEDs
Start date. 1 October 2022. Duration. 3.5yrs. Description. ‘Micro-LED’ is a revolutionary form of electronic visual display technology, which is semiconductor-based and utilises very high densities of micron-sized LED pixels. Read more
Modelling the Behaviour of Legacy radioactive particles.
University of the Highlands and Islands
Environmental Research Institute, North Highland College, Thurso
An opportunity has arisen to investigate the behaviour of legacy particles within the marine environment of the Pentland Firth. The successful candidate will undertake hydrodynamic modelling to understand how particles of varying compositions move under the combined forces of currents and waves. Read more
Manufacturing Magnetic Nano Structures
EPSRC funded project 3.5 years full time starting October 2022. Magnetic nanostructures can be effectively fabricated from ferrofluids via photolithography and allow for novel nano-scale geometries, properties, and applications in the fields of magnetics, energy, and materials. Read more
Artificial Intelligence at the Electron Ion Collider
Research Group:
Nuclear Physics
The project is focused on the development of novel analysis tools based on Artificial Intelligence to enable new insights from both experimental and computational data while revolutionising the way high-level data analysis is currently done in nuclear and particle physics. Read more
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
