PhD studentship available based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (theory)

Posted on by

A PhD studentship in condensed matter theory is available in our group. The successful candidate will be based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) and join an international experiment-theory collaboration working towards the quantification of quantum-mechanical entanglement in strongly-correlated materials.
This PhD project is part of a new effort by SEPnet and the ISIS Facility at RAL. I copy the announcement of this exciting new programme below. Candidates for the theory studentship must write to the named contacts no later than the 6th of February.

Pioneering New Uses of Large Facilities (experiment and theory)

Three fully-funded PhD studentships are available on Pioneering New Uses of Large Facilities. The studentships are jointly funded by the ISIS Facility, STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and by England’s South East Physics Network (SEPnet). The successful candidates will be based at the University of Kent, at Queen Mary, University of London, or at Royal Holloway, University of London and at the ISIS Facility, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The studentships include home fees, maintenance and an annual research stipend. British and European students qualifying for home fees are eligible to apply (see http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/student/info_sheets/tuition_fees_ewni.php). Please get in touch with one of the relevant contacts for each project for information on how to apply:

Details on the application procedure can be found on the SEPnet website: http://astro.kent.ac.uk/SEPNET/PHD/GC/index.html.

About Jorge Quintanilla

I am a condensed matter theorist working on the problem of strongly-correlated quantum matter. My work touches on a broad range of topics from superconductivity to the physics of ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices and much of it is carried out in close collaboration with experimentalists. I obtained my education in Salamanca, Spain (Licenciado, Physics, 1996) and Bristol, England (PhD, Physics, 2001), followed by post-doctoral appointments at the Univeristies of Sao Paulo, Brazil (2002) and Birmingham, England (2003-2004). I then held the Atlas Research Fellowship in Condensed Matter Theory at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and at St Catherine's College, University of Oxford until January 2010, when I became a Lecturer at the University of Kent, England. As a SEPnet fellow and a member of the Hubbard Theory Consortium I remain actively engaged in the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, too.
