The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Digital and Automated Materials Chemistry is offering multiple PhD studentships for students from backgrounds spanning the physical and computer sciences to start in October 2024. The students will develop core expertise in robotic, digital, chemical and physical thinking, which they will apply in their domain-specific research in materials design, discovery and processing.

A number of available projects involve the application of electronic structure calculations, high-throughput virtual screening and the interface between these areas and Machine Learning.  

The training will take place in the Materials Innovation Factory (MIF), the largest industry-academia colocation in UK physical science. The training content has been co-developed with 35 industrial partners and is designed to generate flexible, employable, enterprising researchers who can communicate across domains.
