Ph.D Projects in the Group starting in 2025
We hope to have funding for one or two PhD studentship in the group working on simulations of biological / soft matter systems. Applications for Durham University Doctoral Landscape Awards in addition to faculty funding should be made by mid-January. Please contact: [email protected] in the first instance. Then a formal application must be made to Durham University via our postgraduate portal.

In addition, a list of funding schemes for studentships is provided at
