Opportunities

PhD studentships

If you’re interested in doing a PhD in my group, please do get in touch. A CV, brief statement of research interests and how these tie in with what we do is always useful. Deadlines for various funding streams are often 9-12 months ahead of the proposed start date, so do get in touch as early as possible.

Fellowship opportunities

I am always open to those interested in joining the group with their own fellowship. If you have a strong background, PhD in a relevant field and are interested in the sorts of things we do, do get in touch and we can discuss application possibilities.
