Open Positions

A 3-Year PhD Studentship in Quasi-1D Nanomaterials for Controllable Quantum Computing

Starting Oct 2024. Three-and-a-half-year position with the Centre for Doctoral Training in Molecular Modelling and Material Science. Developing nanoribbons at UCL for a year, then integrading into quantum computer components in A*STAR in Singapore for two years, before returning to UCL for 6 months. Application details found on FindaPhD. Avaialble to UK/Irish citizens and EU students with pre-settled status only.

Self-Funded PhD Studentship

We have space for one self-funded position within the lab to start with the 2025 academic year (first come first served!)

Fellowship Support

We are happy to help support early career fellowships including Ramsay Fellowships, 1851 Fellowships, and Marie Curie Fellowships. Dealines vary by scheme, but plese get in touch ASAP to help build an applicaiton. Fellows will be encouraged to undertake research independantly, but its always good to help provide support where we can.
