Early Stage Researcher Posts

Early stage researcher posts are advertised as they occur. Early stage researcher posts are salaried, and offer PhD training, and are linked to a specific project/area of study and supervisor.

Teaching

There are opportunities available for postgraduate research students to tutor and demonstrate physics undergraduate courses. This can be a welcome source of additional income (although will only cover a small part of your costs) as well as an opportunity to learn and practice teaching skills.
