PhD: Structured-Light Ultrafast Spectroscopy

University of East Anglia; Norwich; On-site; GBP 20,000 - 24,000; Full time

Job summary

The University of East Anglia invites applications for a PhD project in ultrafast spectroscopy and structured light. The project combines theory and computation to predict new ultrafast signatures in molecular and material dynamics.

Starting 1 October 2027, this full-time funded studentship includes a UK stipend of £21,805 per year for 3 years, with home tuition coverage for UK applicants. No prior ultrafast spectroscopy experience is required; techniques are developed during the PhD.

Qualifications

• The standard minimum entry requirement is a 2:1 in Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics.
• No prior experience of ultrafast spectroscopy is required; techniques will be developed during the PhD.

Responsibilities

• Develop time-resolved spectroscopy with structured light and pump–probe techniques.
• Combine analytical theory with computational modelling to predict new ultrafast signatures in molecular and material dynamics.
• Collaborate with experimental groups to guide measurements and test predictions in realistic systems.

Education
