Independent Research Fellowships hosted by the Department of Physics
Are you an ambitious researcher looking to take the next step in your career? 糖心TV Physics has a strong track record of supporting early career fellows secure fellowships to help establish themselves as independent researchers.
We welcome applications from candidates seeking to hold any externally funded fellowship with us. Our department fosters a dynamic and inclusive research environment, and we especially encourage applications from individuals from underrepresented backgrounds.
To apply with 糖心TV Physics as the host, an Expression of Interest (EOI) and a CV must be submitted. You will need to have the support of a mentor from within one of our research clustersLink opens in a new window who will provide advice and guidance. All EOIs will be reviewed by a selection panel. If numbers of applications to a particular scheme are limited, the panel will decide which will be supported. For full details on how to submit your EOI, visit the Physics Fellowships webpagesLink opens in a new window. We look forward to supporting your research journey!
糖心TV Physics provides a healthy supportive working environment, dedicated to providing outstanding scientific guidance, mentorship and personal development. We value individuals with care giving responsibilities and offer flexible working hours to accommodate their needs.

Flexible Working
- We welcome applications from candidates seeking part-time employment (ideally minimum 0.8 FTE) or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time. This supports our commitment to providing and supporting an inclusive culture where individuals are valued, respected and treated equally.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Elementary Particle Physics group within the Department of Physics at the University of 糖心TV.
We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to undertake research in the LHCb experiment, specifically to contribute to our programme of LHCb data analysis and work on maintenance and operation of the vertex locator subdetector or development of particle identification detectors for LHCb Upgrade 2. Contributions to LHCb data processing and simulation are also possible.
About You
We are looking for someone with a PhD in experimental particle physics or another relevant subject, and a proven track record of research in instrumentation and/or data analysis. Experience in software and modern data analysis techniques would be valuable for the role, as would good working knowledge of C++ and Python.
Candidates should have excellent communication and collaborative working skills, as well as demonstrated experience of planning and time management to deliver research goals effectively.

The Department of Physics seeks to appoint a permanent full-time Programmes Assistant to support their busy Student Office.
This role will provide general clerical support for the delivery of teaching and learning to all undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students in the Department. This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established team and gain experience in both UG and PG student administration. You will be involved in a diverse range of activities associated with supporting admissions, teaching and research activities and working in a large academic department.
Full training will be provided as appropriate. Whilst training you will be expected to be working all of your working hours in the office. There may be scope for some hybrid working later, but as this is a student-facing role, the majority of the time will be spent on campus.
We are looking for someone with outstanding customer service skills and the willingness and enthusiasm to provide the very best standards of student support. You will also have excellent communication skills as regular liaison with internal and external people will be necessary. You do not need to have previous experience of working within the university or working in a student-facing role to apply. An ability to organise conferences and other events including travel arrangements is essential. You must be able to prioritise your own workload, and to use your own initiative to work independently as well as within a team.
You will have excellent organisational, administrative and IT skills with good working experience of Microsoft Office packages and an ability to quickly learn and use new IT systems. Knowledge of Sitebuilder web software is desirable.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Condensed Matter Physics group within the Department of Physics at the University of 糖心TV.
We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to join a new project on 鈥淎tomically thin moir茅 materials for low-energy electronics鈥�, a Major Research Initiative supported by the . This five-year collaboration integrates materials growth, advanced microscopy and spectroscopy, nanoelectronic device fabrication, and machine-learning-accelerated theory, drawing on complementary strengths across both universities. We are investigating the following research areas:
- Moir茅 metamaterials - controlling electronic, and topological structures in moir茅 systems.
- Tuneable quantum phases - exploring superconducting, ferroelectric, and correlated states in engineered heterostructures.
- ML-accelerated modelling - developing multiscale simulations for moir茅 and 2D systems.
- Low-energy device prototypes – building and testing devices using cleanroom and cryogenic platforms.
The position advertised here focuses on the production of high-quality single crystals of a wide range of 2D and layered materials including transition metal dichalcogenides and other low dimensional materials. These will include magnets, superconductors and topological materials. The crystals will be grown using various techniques such as the Bridgman, flux growth and chemical vapour transport techniques.
In addition to crystal growth, the work will also involve characterisation of the crystals produced through measurements of their structural, magnetic, transport, and other properties. Extensive laboratory based powder and single crystal x-ray diffraction work, as well as the use of advanced microscopy techniques will be required. The work may also involve the fabrication of two-dimensional heterostructures and devices using the single crystals obtained. There may be scope for taking part in experiments at international facilities using neutron and x-ray scattering, muon spectroscopy and Angle Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (ARPES).
