Several funded Ph D studentships are available at the University of Durham,
in a variety of areas. The opportunities in theoretical chemical physics
are in the following research groups:
Prof. Jeremy Hutson: either "Morphing intermolecular potential surfaces"
or "Properties of ultracold molecules"
Dr. Mark Wilson: "Computer simulations of liquid crystals"
Dr. David Tozer: "Improving density functional theories for
electronic structure"
Dr. Stuart Althorpe: "Computer modelling of chemical reaction
dynamics"
Some of the studentships available are limited to UK nationals or residents,
but others will pay both fees and accommodation for non-UK European Union
students. For well-qualified non-EU students who apply soon, there is the
possibility of supplementing these with an "Overseas Research Student
award" to pay the higher-rate fees normally charged for non-EU residents.
Applicants must have or expect to obtain (by July 2000) a degree in
chemistry or physics, which must be at least the equivalent of a UK
"upper second class" degree. (This is, roughly speaking, the upper half
of a UK undergraduate class).
The usual duration of a Ph D in the UK is 3 years, and the studentships
available are for 3 years.
Durham is an ancient Cathedral city in the north-east of England, with
easy access to excellent walking country.
