The University of Sussex is offering a PhD Studentship 2025 in Magnetic Microscopy with Bose-Einstein Condensates, presenting an excellent opportunity for budding researchers to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in quantum technology.
Benefits Of this Scholarship
This prestigious studentship includes:
- Fully-paid tuition fees for three and a half years.
- A tax-free bursary of £19,237 per annum (2025) for living costs.
- Additional funding of £1,650 per year to cover research training and travel.
- Opportunities for short-term and long-term travel to support your research.
For international students, the studentship requires obtaining a student study visa before admission
About This Research Group at Sussex
The research group at the University of Sussex delves into neutral atomic gases, exploring their quantum-level properties and interactions. Using cutting-edge techniques, the team develops highly sensitive magnetic sensors with applications in nanomaterials, electric vehicle battery monitoring, navigation, brain imaging, and more.
The Project Focus
The project involves:
- Cooling and trapping neutral atoms using electromagnetic fields to produce Bose-Einstein condensates.
- Using magnetic microscopy to image current flow patterns in nanostructured and biological samples.
- Improving the sensitivity of the microscope for applications in 2D sample imaging, materials science, and bio-engineering.
You will gain hands-on experience in:
- Quantum technologies (lasers, optics, electronics, vacuum systems).
- Atomic physics and materials science.
- Imaging and analyzing current flow patterns in 2D nanostructures.
This studentship provides the opportunity to work at the intersection of quantum physics, bio-engineering, and materials science, offering invaluable interdisciplinary exposure.
Eligibility Criteria
To apply, you must:
- Hold or expect to hold a UK upper second-class degree (or non-UK equivalent) in physics. Alternatively, a lower second-class degree complemented by a relevant Master’s degree is also acceptable.
- Have a background in atomic and quantum physics.
- Be a UK or international applicant.
Note: International students or EU nationals without UK settled/pre-settled status must secure a student study visa before admission.
Deadline: The application deadline is 19 January 2025, 23:45.
This is a very good opportunity for physics students. I’ll honestly recommend this for all my physics friends
Nice one
