This studentship is open to UK students only

The School of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham welcomes PhD applications in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.     

The studentship is fully funded (fees and stipend) for eligible UK students. 

The PhD award provides 4-year funding to commence in October 2026. 

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) at least a 2.1 degree in Chemistry, Physics or related subject.

The selected PhD candidate will work with Prof Elena Besley on computational modelling of next-generation semiconductors made from atomically thin materials in a groundbreaking £6 million EPSRC Programme Grant to reduce the soaring energy demands of artificial intelligence . The computational team will work in collaboration with many partners in academia and industry to address challenges in the science and technology of atomically thin semiconductor for low-energy-consumption electronics. 

Informal enquiries about this studentship can be made to Prof Elena Besley elena.besley@nottingham.ac.uk

There is no deadline for applying. We will continue to process applications until a suitable candidate is found. Candidates are therefore recommended to enquire and apply as soon as possible.
