The University of Manchester faculty of science and engineering is advertising five year early career fellowships (Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw, DKO,  fellowships).

The fellowships also come with start-up funding and a funded PhD student position.

The fellowships are available in a set of specified areas.

 

The areas related to work with the UK national laboratories (Harwell/RAL, Daresbury, and Boulby – on any topic) are likely to be of particular interest to physics applicants. Topics highlighted include: quantum materials, novel detector technologies, fusion technologies, scientific computing, novel acceleration technology, low temperature science, ultra-low background science, applied quantum technologies.

 

There are several nuclear energy related themes.

 

The deadline for applications is 7th April.

We encourage applications in areas which are aligned with our strategic partnership with the National Science Facilities based on the Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire (including, but not limited to, the Diamond Light Source, the ISIS Neutron and Muon Facility, the Central Laser Facility, Scientific Computing Division and National Quantum computing Centre), the Daresbury Laboratory (Accelerator Science and Technology Centre and cryogenic facilities, Hartree supercomputing Centre) and STFC’s Boulby Underground Laboratory (Ultra low-background science). There is particular interest in developing the areas of the use of these facilities in understanding:

As well as the specific areas of science and engineering detailed above, the National Science Facilities and the University of Manchester has a strong desire to develop further capability in:
