10.Mar.2016 : Applications are invited for Ph.D. studentships in Renewable Energy Materials

Two fully funded PhD studentships on Nanoscale Piezoelectric Materials for Energy Harvesting are now available. For further details, please see here.

15.Dec.2015 : Diamond Light Source Summer Placements 2015 – Open for Applications

Applications are now open for undergraduate summer placements at Diamond Light Source. This scheme offers penultimate year students 8-12 week paid placements at Diamond, and we are offering projects in physical science, life science and scientific software in 2016. Further details are found here.

11.Nov.2014 : Dr. Newton delivers the opening presentation for the annual Physical Crystallography Group meeting

This year we celebrate 100 years of Physical Crystallography. Dr Newton was invited to deliver the opening plenary presentation for the Physical Crystallography Group's winter meeting held on remembrance day. His presentation was entitled "Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging and Dynamics with an XFEL".

31.Jan.2014 : Diamond Light Source Summer Placements 2014 – Open for Applications

The Diamond Student Summer Placement scheme allows undergraduate students studying for a degree in Science, Engineering, Computing or Mathematics (and who expect to gain a first or upper-second class honours degree) to gain experience working within a scientific environment at Diamond. These 8-12 week placements are paid positions and will provide successful students with an opportunity to work on a research or development project within Diamond. The placements will be paid at a rate of £14,069pa on a pro-rata basis. They are available to students within the European Union, who are registered as undergraduate students at the time of the placements – typically during the summer following their penultimate year. Further details are found here.
