PhD Studentship in the Control of Ultra-cold Matter
2 weeks ago
A fully funded 3.5-year PhD position is available in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Sussex
What you get
- Fully-paid tuition fees for three and a half years.
- A tax-free bursary for living costs for three and a half years (£21,327 per annum in 2024/25).
- Additional financial support is provided to cover short-term and long-term travel.
PhD project
This project concerns theoretical and numerical calculations which will be closely linked to experimental activity with ultra-cold atoms (at micro-Kelvin or nano-Kelvin temperatures).
Three different topologies will be part of the project with potential applications including high precision rotation sensing, tilt sensing, and gravitational sensing. We will consider ultra-cold atoms trapped on shell (or 'bubble') surfaces, atoms trapped or guided in rings, and atoms trapped in a small number of potential wells. The applications we are interested in include Sagnac interferometry, which is a Quantum Technology challenge which can potentially be used for rotation sensing, as well as the fundamental physics of ultra-cold matter in different topologies.
Eligibility
Applicants must hold, or expect to hold, at least a UK upper second class degree (or non-UK equivalent qualification) in Physics/Mathematics, or a closely-related area, or else a lower second class degree followed by a relevant Master's degree.
This award is open to UK students only.
Deadline
We prefer to fill the position before 30 September 2024, and as soon as a suitable candidate is found. In this case it may also be possible to offer a 4 year studentship (depending on funding) and by agreement. The final deadline (for a 3.5 year studentship only) will be 31 March :45.
