We have fully-funded PhD studentships available for entry in October 2026. These PhD studentships include full UK fees, a living allowance (stipend) and additional funding to cover research costs and international travel such as conferences.

The closing date for applications is Monday 1st June 2026. Full details can be found here : www.northumbria.ac.uk/STFCphd

You will join a strong, successful and supportive research team. The very best way to get a taste of this is to come and visit the Research Group in person (see www.northumbria.ac.uk/STFCphd for details).

We value individual differences and diversity and the improved science and scholarship that brings. We therefore encourage applications from under-represented groups and requests for flexible study are welcomed. We offer all applicants full guidance on the application process. For informal enquiries, please email Professor James McLaughlin (james.a.mclaughlin@northumbria.ac.uk).

I would be grateful if you could circulate this amongst your relevant final-year students.
