Theoretical Physics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

We have 70 Theoretical Physics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

NIHR GOSH BRC Translational Research (Non-Clinical) PhD Studentships

The NIHR Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR GOSH BRC) PhD Studentship Programme aims to fund five highly motivated non-clinical PhDs students to support the training and development of the next generation of translational researchers. Read more

A study of Sensing and Wireless Communications

This project is to investigate novel techniques for sensing and achieving efficient wireless communication. To fulfil the needs of future communication networks, the study will explore both the optical and radio frequencies for simultaneous sensing and wireless communications. Read more

Discovery of new sustainable permanent magnets for electric motors and generators

High-performance permanent magnets are needed for electric motors and generators which are essential for the decarbonisation of transport (land, sea and air) and energy generation (>25% of UK electricity comes from wind-turbines). Read more

Optical fiber-based RF-breakdown detection and prediction

The QUASAR Group, based at the Cockcroft Institute, in collaboration with the beam instrumentation company D-Beam Ltd, have pioneered the development and commercialization of optical fiber-based beam loss monitors for particle accelerators. Read more

Preparation and Characterisation of ‘Green’ Photocathodes for the Generation of High-Brightness Electron Beams

The quality of the electron beam in an accelerator is limited largely by that of the electron source. Fourth generation light sources such as the planned UK X-FEL and ultrafast electron diffraction projects require high-brightness electron sources. Read more

De Sitter matrix models and field theory

  Research Group: Geometry, Analysis & Gravitation
The School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London invite applications for a PhD project commencing in September 2024. . Read more

Thermodynamic signatures of collective behaviour in active matter

  Research Group: Complex Systems
The School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London invite applications for a PhD project commencing in September 2024. . Read more

Theory and Simulation of Time-Dependent and Topological Metamaterials

Applicants are invited to apply for a PhD project on the Theory and Simulation of Time-Dependent and Topological Metamaterials. The project will involve the development of theoretical techniques to study next generation materials and metamaterials as part of a wider EPSRC grant on Next Generation Metamaterials. Read more

Fundamental physics and applications with quantum levitated optomechanics

Cold nanoscale objects levitated by optical, magnetic and electric fields in high vacuum are a new type of macroscopic quantum system, showing extraordinary sensitivity to weak forces [1]. Read more

Machine learning the dynamics of force-sensing proteins

Mechanosensing proteins detect mechanical forces within cells and convert them into biochemical signals. Understanding the dynamic behaviour of these proteins under force is key for advancing our understanding of this process called mechanotransduction. Read more
