Interdisciplinary PhD Programme in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

The Centre for Doctoral Training in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology invites applications from top-class independent-thinking students for its PhD programme in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Our programme offers a unique opportunity to conduct interdisciplinary research in a collaborative and innovative environment.

Research Themes

Our research themes span a wide range of application areas, including Quantum technologies, Nanophotonics, Nanoelectronic and semiconducting devices, Energy-efficient ICT, Energy harvesting and battery technologies, Catalysis, Waste utilisation, Biosensing, Sustainable manufacturing and many more...

Programme Structure

Our PhD programme offers an initial six-month intensive training + PhD project selection period, which aims to prime students from component learners to effective researchers. High-quality training in advanced nanoscience concepts & experimental skills is delivered via applied learning formats (hands-on practicals & workshops) rather than traditional lectures.

At the six month point the final selection of an interdisciplinary PhD research project will be made, with two supervisors from two research groups in the Departments of Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Materials or another relevant department across the University.

Funding and Support

We offer a number of fully funded PhD studentships of 3.5 years duration to support students on our programme. For information on funding, please see our website.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
