Applications are invited for several full time PhD (via MPhil) studentships in Astrophysics, including Solar Physics, in the Jeremiah Horrocks Institute (JHI), University of Central Lancashire, Preston.
The studentships are tenable for 3.5 years full-time (subject to satisfactory progress) and will cover the cost of tuition fees at UK rates together with a maintenance grant (£15,609 per year 2021/22 rates) for eligible applicants.
The studentships are funded by the Science and Technologies Facilities Council (STFC)/University of Central Lancashire/Moses Holden Foundation. The studentships are open to international applicants, however international applicants will be required to pay the difference between the UK and international tuition fee rate.
The projects will be in one of the JHI research areas, depending on the preference of the students ranked highest on the list of applicants. The projects within the Solar Physics group (www.star.uclan.ac.uk/solar/) are with Dr Daniel Brown, Prof. Silvia Dalla and Prof. Robert Walsh.
For a description of the projects and additional information see: http://www.star.uclan.ac.uk/phd-studentships-and-postgraduate-study/
The listed projects are suggested opportunities offered by JHI staff. If you would like more details or would like to discuss the possibility of related research in solar physics, then please contact the project supervisors directly (www.star.uclan.ac.uk/staff-directory).
For informal discussion, please email Prof. Derek Ward-Thompson (DWard-Thompson@uclan.ac.uk) or Dr. Mark Norris (MNorris2@uclan.ac.uk).
