2014 PhD Studentships in Experimental Particle Physics at University of Sussex in UK

Seven fully-funded PhD studentships are available at University of Sussex in UK. Studentships are provided in the field of Experimental Particle Physics. Studentships cover £13863 tax-free maintenance bursary plus UK/EU fees waived for 3.5 years. Applicants should hold, or expect to hold, a UK first class honours degree, or a good UK Master’s degree, or equivalent non-UK qualifications, in a relevant subject.

About Scholarship: Seven fully-funded PhD studentships are available to start in September 2014, to work on world-leading experiments within the Experimental Particle Physics (EPP) Group at the University of Sussex. The Group has leading involvement in the ATLAS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider and in a rich neutrino physics programme (the SNO+ experiment at SNOlab; the NO?A experiment at Fermilab; and the LBNE long-baseline neutrino oscillations project), as well as in experiments to measure the neutron Electron Dipole Moment (nEDM) and to perform direct Dark Matter searches (DEAP). Funding for studentships is available from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), the European Research Council (ERC) and the University of Sussex.
Study: Studentships are provided in the field of Experimental Particle Physics at University of Sussex in UK.
Course Level: Studentships are available for pursuing PhD degree level at University of Sussex in UK.
Scholarship Provider: University of Sussex, UK
Scholarship can be taken at: UK

Eligibility: -Applicants should hold, or expect to hold, a UK first class honours degree, or a good UK Master’s degree, or equivalent non-UK qualifications, in a relevant subject.
-Due to funding restrictions, fully funded scholarships are typically open only to UK and other EU students. Some awards are Sussex-funded and are open to overseas (ex-EU) students as well as UK/EU. Overseas students pay higher fees, due to UK government requirements, but our awards offer only the lower UK/EU fee, and we are unable to waive the additional fees. Overseas applicants must state how they would finance the additional fee. In 2013-14, overseas fees were £16200 per year and UK/EU fees were £3900 per year. In 2014-15, fees are likely to rise in line with UK inflation.
