About this position

This fully funded PhD studentship at Swansea University offers an exciting opportunity to work in the interdisciplinary field of theoretical particle physics, focusing on the applications of gauge-gravity dualities (also known as holography) to new physics models with a composite origin. The project aims to explore strongly coupled theories relevant to particle physics and cosmology, using advanced formal tools from string theory and supergravity. Candidates will engage in both analytical and numerical calculations to investigate observable quantities in proposals for extending the Standard Model.

The research will be conducted within the Centre for Quantum Fields and Gravity, a world-leading group at Swansea University’s Singleton Campus. The centre provides a vibrant, international, and interdisciplinary environment, with approximately forty researchers, regular seminars, journal clubs, and extensive training opportunities. The project is supervised by Professors Maurizio Piai and Carlos Nunez, both experts in theoretical physics.

Applicants must hold an undergraduate degree at 2.1 level or a master’s degree with a minimum overall grade at ‘Merit’ (or Non-UK equivalent as defined by Swansea University). English language proficiency is required, with IELTS 6.5 overall (no component below 6.0) or a recognised equivalent. Some applicants may need ATAS clearance, but this is not required for the scholarship application process. International applicants should consult Swansea University’s country-specific entry requirements and may contact [email protected] for eligibility queries.

The scholarship covers full tuition fees and provides an annual stipend at the UKRI rate (£21,805 for 2026/27). The position is open to both UK and international applicants, subject to UKRI international quota. The project start dates are October 2026 or January 2027, with potential for later start dates. The application deadline is April 6, 2026.

To apply, candidates should submit their application online via the provided FindAPhD link, including academic transcripts and proof of English proficiency. For further information or eligibility questions, applicants are encouraged to contact the scholarship office via email.
