Each year the group typically takes on 1-3 new doctoral students to work on our key research themes. The application process is organized through the University's graduate application system, with a series of deadlines in November, January and March. The key deadline - in respect of funding/scholarships - is in late January. Details of the application procedure can be found here with further information from the central University here. Interested students are always welcome to come to the Chemistry Research Laboratory to have a look around, meet the group and discuss available projects. Get in touch by email if you'd like to visit. There are a number of possible avenues for financial support, including University scholarships and CDT funding (see below).
Simon is Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Inorganic Materials for Advanced Manufacturing (IMAT) and its predecessor OxICFM. These centres are focussed on training the next generation of doctoral scientists in inorganic chemistry/materials science. 12+ fully-funded doctoral studentships are available each year (starting in each of 2019-2028) across the whole breadth of inorganic chemistry, and a number of the current group are part of this programme. The application procedure for IMAT is also run through the University's central system, and includes a formal selection interview. More details can be found here.
