We have 5 fully-funded PhD studentships available for entry in October 2023. These PhD studentships are for 3.5-years, include full fees, a living allowance (this was £17,668 for 2022/23 full time study) and additional funding to cover research costs and international travel such as conferences.
The closing date for applications is Monday 15th May 2023. Full details can be found here = www.northumbria.ac.uk/STFCphd
We are a successful research group pursuing high-international-priority research across the broad remit of Solar and Space Physics. The Group demonstrates international leadership across theory, numerical modelling, observations of solar and space plasma, data intensive science, and space-related hardware.
You will join a strong and supportive research team. The very best way to get a taste of this is to come and visit the research group in person, and we have funding to support all UK National applicants who wish to visit the research group (see www.northumbria.ac.uk/STFCphd for details).
We value individual differences and diversity and the improved science and scholarship that brings. We therefore encourage applications from under-represented groups and requests for flexible study are welcomed. We offer all applicants full guidance on the application process. For informal enquiries, please email Professor James McLaughlin (james.a.mclaughlin@northumbria.ac.uk).… continue to the full article
We are currently advertising for a fully funded 3.5-year STFC studentship in the area of solar physics and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave dynamics, to start in October 2023. This will include fee payments (for either home or overseas students) and doctoral stipend at the standard UKRI rates.
The student will join the Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics (CFSA) within the department of Physics at Warwick. The student will benefit from the inherently multi-disciplinary nature of the Centre, which researches topics in magnetically and inertially confined fusion, solar, heliospheric and magnetospheric physics. The student will work with Dr Erwin Verwichte to investigate the interaction of MHD waves with plasma flows in the chromosphere of the Sun. This will be achieved through the analysis of observations from ground-based solar observatories in tandem with numerical modelling of the MHD wave dynamics.
The deadline for applications is 15th April. We anticipate to make offers near the end of April.
For more details, or if you are interested to apply, please visit the Department’s postgraduate admissions webpage at https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/admissions/postgraduate/
or contact Dr Verwichte, linked from https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/cfsa/people/erwin/… continue to the full article
We are currently advertising for a fully funded 3.5-year STFC studentship in the area of astrophysical MHD (magnetohydrodynamics), to start in October 2023. This will include fee payments (for either home or overseas students) and doctoral stipend at the standard UKRI rates.
The student would join the Applied & Computational Mathematics group in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. The precise topic of the studentship is open for discussion; preferred supervisors are Dr Laura Currie (mathematical and numerical modelling of how stratified convection interacts with magnetic fields) or Dr Peter Wyper (mathematical and numerical modelling of how coronal mass ejections are triggered, or numerical modelling of solar flare reconnection and its relation to flare ribbon structures).
There is no fixed deadline but we anticipate making offers shortly after March 31.
For more details, or if you are interested in applying, please contact Dr Currie and/or Dr Wyper, linked from https://www.durham.ac.uk/departments/academic/mathematical-sciences/research/areas/applied–computational-mathematics/… continue to the full article
Applications are invited for a PhD (via MPhil) studentship in the Jeremiah Horrocks Institute (JHI), within the School of Natural Sciences, on Forecasting Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) risk for Space Weather. The successful candidate will work on a physics-based SEP forecasting tool, and analyse SEP events to investigate the significance of different physical processes on the accuracy of the SEP forecasts. The work is performed in collaboration with JHI and Met Office personnel.
The studentship is funded through the UCLan Doctoral Training Centre for Industry Collaboration and is tenable for up to 3.5 years full time [subject to satisfactory progress]. Both Home and EU/International Applicants may apply but EU/International Applicants will be required to pay the difference in tuition fees between the UK and EU/International fee rates. The studentship will provide successful applicants with an annual stipend in line with UKRI rates (Currently £17,668 per year), subject to satisfactory progress.
Applications are due 31st March 2023, for September 2023 start. To apply, see instructions at
https://www.uclan.ac.uk/research/research-degrees/studentships
Please quote the studentship Reference Number DTC12-22-34.
