Job Opportunity: PhD Studentship in Condensed Matter Physics: Modelling Colour Centres in Diamond an:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD Award summary 100% fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). Overview Diamond is a material of extremes, known not only for its extreme hardness and use as a gem-stone, but recently emerging at the forefront of quantum technology with the use of point defects to store and manipulate information at a quantum level. Computational and theoretical physics has played a central function in our knowledge of diamond at all levels, and there is an increasing focus upon to accurate, quantitative modelling for both predictive and interpretive uses.Such modelling is necessarily computational demanding, and working on this project will include the use of high-performance computing, coding and data analysis.Training in the materials physics, use of the operating system and software will be provided; although not essential, previous practice using computational methods and coding would be an distinct advantage.Postgraduate students can also take part in a range of paid teaching activities for which training is provided. In this project the prosperous candidate will join our research group to work on quantum-mechanical modelling of a range problems from point and extended defects to quantitative model development.The work will be in close collaboration with groups working on experimental collection of data, including colleagues from Physics and Engineering in Warwick University. Number of awards: 1 Start date: 16th September 2024 Award duration: 3.5 years Sponsor: EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTP) managers: Prof. Jon Goss Eligibility criteria You must have, or expect to gain, a minimum 2:1 Honours degree or international equivalent in a subject significant to the proposed PhD project (especially physics, applied mathematics, chemistry and engineering, or allied subject). Enthusiasm for research, the capability to think and work independently, excellent analytical expertise and strong verbal and written communication expertise are also essential requirements. Home and international candidates (inc. EU) are welcome to apply and if prosperous will receive a full studentship. candidates whose first language is not English require an IELTS score of 6.5 overall with a minimum of 5.5 in all sub-expertise. International candidates may require an ATAS (Academic Technology Approval Scheme) clearance certificate prior to obtaining their visa and to study on this programme. How to apply You must apply through the University'sApply to Newcastle Portal Once registered select ?Create a Postgraduate Application'. Use ?Course Search' to identify your programme of study: » Search for the ?Course Title' using the programme code: 8821F » Please leave ?Research Area' field blank. » Select? PhD Physics (full time) - Theoretical' as the programme of study You will then need to provide the following information in the ?Further Details' section: » A ?Personal Statement' (this is a mandatory field) - upload a document or write a statement directly in to the application form » The studentship code MSP085 in the ?Studentship/Partnership Reference' field » When prompted for how you are providing your research proposal - select ?Write Proposal'. You should then type in the title of the research project from this advert. You do not need to upload a research proposal. You must submit one application per studentship, you cannot apply for multiple studentships on one application.
