We currently have two open PhD studentships in collaboration with other researchers at the University of Manchester:
An opportunity to define important trends in actinide covalency and relativistic expansion with Dr Michael Baker and Dr Louise Natrajan.
Defining the Electronic Structures of (Hetero)Metallocene Anions with Prof David Mills and Prof Nicholas Chilton.
Departmental (and Royal Society of Chemistry) undergraduate research bursaries open in January each year. Please send me an email along with a current CV and a brief statement of interest before January and we will apply together. Other opportunities through the University of Manchester are also available through the Learning Through Research Research Student Experience Internships.
If you are interested in working in the Oakley Group, please send me an email along with a current CV and a brief statement of interest.
Eligible PhD students are encouraged to apply for the President’s Doctoral Scholarship or the Dean’s Doctoral Scholarship at the University of Manchester.
UK, black-heritage students may apply for the School of Natural Sciences Diversity PhD Scholarships.
UK-based PhD students may also apply for the Postgraduate Research Teaching Associate (PGRTA) Scholarships which provides funding for a PhD with a combination of research and teaching.
