Physics research at the University of Liverpool

Postgraduate

From Masters to PhD and beyond. our Department has been leading large scale postgraduate research and teaching initiatives for many years.

Fully funded PhD positions through STFC and EPSRC funding are available in each of our research clusters:  Accelerator Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics. We are currently coordinator of the STFC Centres for Doctoral Training (CDT) on Innovation in Data Intensive Science (LIV.INNO), EPSRC CDT's on Skills and Training Underpinning a Renaissance in Nuclear (SATURN), Nuclear Fusion Power and Digital and Automated Materials Chemistry, as well as European Innovative Training Networks on Medical Accelerators and Antimatter Physics. Our research leaders oversee these programmes and will work closely with you on your research project and in your specific training courses. They will provide you with the international research and training experience you need to excel in postgraduate study and research.

Postgraduate study

Our postgraduate taught programmes provide cutting edge physics teaching and career enhancement in fields such as Radiometrics, Nuclear Science & Technology and Medical Physics.

Postgraduate research

The Department is creating exciting postgraduate research opportunities across all areas of our research.

Pursue a PhD programme in the following areas of Physics: Accelerator Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics and you will benefit from high quality lecture courses, excellent research training and many opportunities to pursue your research at leading institutes and laboratories around the world.

For more information see our postgraduate research flyer and consider attending our PGR open day on November 28th 2024.

Continuing professional development

We offer a series of Radiometrics Continuing Professional Development short courses tailored to meet your professional needs. The teaching professionals are pioneers in the sector and members of the Nuclear Physics group, they will provide you with access to leading-edge knowledge and the latest high-level skills.

This programme is aimed at highly motivated mid-career engineers and scientists working in the field of radiation detection in industries including: Nuclear; Healthcare; Military & Security; Scientific research and Manufacturing.
