UCL team develops laser accelerator for neutral particles
Precise control of the motion of atoms and molecules is extremely
difficult, yet important for a large spectrum of scientific and industrial
processes. Applications range from surface growth and deposition, to elucidating
the details of chemical reactions through controlled collisions.

PhD studentships in the AMOPP group
The AMOPP group has a lively and vibrant community of students working towards a PhD qualification, and we have a regular intake of new PhD students. We are presently recruiting PhD students for research in all areas of AMOPP research:
- Positron-, Positronium-, Electron-Collisions
- Ultracold Gases
- Ultrafast laser spectroscopy and Strong Laser Interactions
- Biological Physics and Optical Tweezers
- Theoretical Physics of Molecules and Quantum Systems
- Quantum Information
Further information on research opportunities in AMOPP contact the the group's postgraduate admissions tutor, Prof Sougato Bose.
We also have a number of project studentships available for students connected to specific research projects:
- PhD position in Quantum Cavity Optomechanics
- Molecular line lists for characterising extrasolar planets
- Trapping and manipulation of microbubbles in optical and acoustical fields
- A new program for plasma simulation
We
expect to have further positions available to start from September
2010. Details of these studentships will be posted here soon. Please check back often.
Application procedure
- Go to the graduate application webpage to fill out an application. Be sure that you read all of the information before you fill out your application.

Further Information
Should you require any further information regarding opportunities in a research area of the AMOPP group at UCL, individual members of staff will always be pleased to help with enquiries about their research work . For general enquiries regarding PhD studentships in the AMOPP group, please contact the group's postgraduate admissions tutor, Prof Sougato Bose.
The graduate prospectus contains detailed information about our PhD program and further information can be found on the graduate application webpage. For general enquiries about the Physics and Astronomy PhD program please send an e-mail to the Departmental Administrator for Postgraduate Admissions.
Funding & Scholarships
We presently have DTA PhD studentships available for research in any of the areas above which is available to UK students.
For non-UK/EU students with excellent academic records a number of scholarships are available through the UCL graduate school.
Seaton award
An award of £1000 has been established in honour of Prof M Seaton FRS, a distinguished atomic physicist and former member of the group. The award will assist new students joining the AMOPP group. One recipient will be selected by the group every year on the basis of academic merit and particular circumstances (eg students coming from abroad or moving to London).
