Join us

We are a friendly and growing team of researchers with complementary expertise in different aspects of experimental and computational physics, working at the intersections with other disciplines.

Our network of international collaborators includes physicists, engineers, chemists, computer scientists, biologists, medics and clinicians - to name a few.

We are always on the lookout for new talented and enthusiastic group members, including those from diverse career paths and backgrounds, and those who have taken career breaks. 

If you’d be interested in joining us, please get in touch.

PhD opportunities

We are delighted to have successfully recruited to the opportunity described below, but please review the project to get a flavour of the sort of research in which our students are engaged.

Radiotherapy is an effective way to treat tumours. However, not all cancers can be treated with radiotherapy. The potential of new therapies - including Microbeam Radiation Therapy (MRT) - is being explored in synchrotrons around the world.

The successful candidate will simulate and test newly available X-ray sources in France and Italy for potential use in MRT and imaging.

Funding options for PhDs

Self- and government-funded students are welcome to get in touch to discuss their research aspirations and whether ARMPG would be a good fit.

If you would be interested in a PhD position in our group, but do not currently have funding, please browse the links below. If you identify an appropriate source of funding, we can work with you to prepare your application.

Includes a number of funding possibilities, some available for PhD study.

Further information

Supports students from groups under-represented in physics who wish to complete a physics doctorate. Applications are typically open from October – mid-January.

Scholarships available for applicants for certain eligible Commonwealth countries. Applications typically open in October – November. Split site scholarships are also available, which would let you spend a year studying in the UK as part of a PhD in your home country.

Awarded to women from developing and emerging countries to pursue PhD research in STEM subjects. Applications typically open from September - November.

Postdoctoral positions

We are happy to discuss hosting researchers with personal fellowships and funding, including supporting you through the application process.

We also welcome queries from more senior researchers with personal fellowships who wish to relocate to Â鶹ֱ²¥.

Please get in touch to discuss possible options, including the following postdoctoral funding schemes.

Independent two-year positions, with time to develop your research portfolio and support to apply for further independent fellowships. Applications are due around November.

Further information

Fellowships for researchers returning to academia after a career break of two or more years for family, health or caring reasons. Jenny Spiga is a former Daphne Jackson Fellow. Rolling application process.

Independent research fellowships for those who require a flexible working pattern. Applications open September - October.

Both open and responsive mode offered. There are no upper limits on time-since-PhD and applications are welcome from those who have followed non-traditional pathways into research, or who need to work part-time. Applications expected to open around May - July.

Three year independent research fellowships. Note that research in medical applications is rarely within the Leverhulme Trust’s remit. Typical application deadlines in February.

For researchers who have not resided in UK for more than 12 months of the last three years. Applications open April - September.

Available at both post- and pre-doctoral levels, specifically for registered healthcare professionals who are interested in pursuing a research career. Applications open October - January.

Three year fellowships for non-UK researchers who wish to conduct research in a UK institution. Fasil Dejene is a former Newton International Fellow. Applications open January - March.

For applicants with three years or less postdoctoral experience, to conduct innovative independent research. Applications open October - January.
