Full Job Description
PhD Studentship: Investigating Confined Molecular Transport for Next-Gen Fluidic Innovations (Students World-wide)
Newcastle University
- Location: Newcastle
- Salary: £19,237 per year
- Contract: Full-time
- Posted: 1 day ago
Award Summary
100% fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). Additional project costs will also be provided.
Overview
The exploration of molecular transport at small scales is less studied compared to its electronic counterpart. However, significant progress has been made in the last decade, particularly in the creation of nanometer-sized artificial capillaries, which have opened new research frontiers in nanofluidics. Now is the perfect moment to move beyond traditional molecular transport measurements and pioneer experiments that probe the physics of molecular transport. This PhD project will focus on creating confined interfaces to investigate the physics of both static and dynamic molecules.
Further details:
- The student will gain expertise in nanofabrication, microscopy, and electrokinetic measurements, along with potential involvement in electrical and spectroscopic techniques.
- This project offers extensive training, providing students with the skills to excel in both academia and industry.
Number of awards: 1
Start date: 1st October 2025
Award duration: 4 years
Supervisor: Dr. Vasu Kalangi
Eligibility Criteria
A minimum 2:1 Honours degree (or international equivalent) in a relevant subject (e.g., Physics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physical Chemistry) is required. However, we place value on prior experience, enthusiasm for research, and the ability to think and work independently. Excellent analytical skills and strong verbal and written communication skills are also essential requirements. A Masters qualification is not required if you have a minimum 2:1 degree or can evidence alternative experience in a work or research-based project. If you have alternative qualifications or experience, please contact us to discuss.
For EPSRC DLA applications, we are following the guidelines. Please read and complete this as your Personal statement, and upload this with your application. Applications which do not include this document will not be considered. Further details can be found here.
Home and international applicants (including EU) are welcome to apply and if successful will receive a full studentship. Applicants whose first language is not English require an IELTS score of 6.5 overall with a minimum of 5.5 in all sub-skills.
International applicants may require an ATAS (link) clearance certificate prior to obtaining their visa and to study on this programme.
How to Apply
You must apply through the University's application 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: 8839F.
- Please leave the 'Research Area' field blank.
- Select 'PhD Physics Experimental' (Full Time) 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).
- The studentship code DLA2502 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.
