Potential PhD studentships for UK/ EU students (deadline: 31st March 2017)
I may be able to fund PhD studentships in the area of silicon photovoltaics for suitably qualifed candidates from the UK or the EU. UK students are eligible to receive full fees and living expenses; EU students just fees. If you are interested in doing a PhD in my group please contact me ASAP with a CV (john.d.murphy@warwick.ac.uk). Please note funding for non-EU applicants is not available due to restrictions imposed by the funder. The deadline for a full application is 31st March 2017, so please contact me by mid-March if you wish to make an application.
