Study
Postgraduate students form an integral part of the Photon Science Institute.
News
Read about our latest funding opportunity: Postgraduate Scholarship, which offers more benefits than traditional funding.
As a student working at the PSI, you'll get the opportunity to work with outstanding researchers and to use some of the best technology in the country.
You will be registered with one particular Department, but can have a supervisory team that involves a number of Departments. In a truly interdisciplinary environment, you'll develop a wide range of skills.
Research projects
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with research projects in the PSI. Get in touch with a potential supervisor with a project idea if you are interested in joining our research community.
Current funded projects are outlined below:
Photon Science Institute Studentship
The PSI is offering a studentship for each of the PhD projects listed below, further details of which can be found in the Find A PhD 'Connect' search tool. There is one studentship per project with two for home students and two for international students.
For information about each project including the required backgrounds for applicants, please refer to the 'Connect' tool:
- Macroscopic quantum systems for science and technology
For enquiries, email: jayadev.vijayan@manchester.ac.uk - Non-linear flows of antibodies
For enquiries, email: t.a.waigh@manchester.ac.uk - Single ion detection and validation for quantum technologies
For enquiries, email: richard.curry@manchester.ac.uk - Shape-controlled nanoparticles for catalytic VOC oxidation
For enquiries, email: alex.walton@manchester.ac.uk
I think that PhD students at the PSI come out with more than just a doctorate but with a great deal of ambition. Working with these researchers really makes you want to strive to reach your full potential.
