From time to time, other studentships are offered at Royal Holloway.
In this project, the student will investigate the dynamics of strongly interacting quantum systems in order to explain the recent experimental results. They will learn how to use recently developed mathematical tools useful for analytical calculations and will do High Performance Computing using Graphical Processor Units to simulate numerically the quantum dynamics of many body systems.
PhD Studentships in Physics: Uncovering the Nature of Hidden Neutron Star Interiors
We invite applicants to apply for a competitively funded position in Royal Holloway's neutron star theory group. The successful applicant will undertake a project at the interface of astronomy and fluid dynamics. Specifically, they will investigate physics across a variety of scales such as superfluid vortex dynamics to better understand the evolution of the fluid neutron star interior. The project will combine theoretical and numerical modelling with astronomical data analysis and scientific software development. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to join a vibrant network of international collaborators and explore other applications of fluid dynamics across different areas of astrophysics.
PhD Studentship in Youth Mental Health
This research takes a transdiagnostic approach, focusing on common mental health symptoms and identifying both risk and resilience factors. Using large-scale longitudinal data from over 114,500 participants, we will examine how educational, and home environments, contribute to mental health outcomes - while accounting for genetic influences. The project will identify which experiences have a causal impact, and for whom, with the aim of informing early intervention and support.
