PhD in Materials Science And Engineering

PhD studentship on next-generation fluorescent carbon dots for real-time bioprocess monitoring at The University of Manchester, Manchester. /nThis 3.5-year PhD studentship is open to Home (UK) applicants. The successful candidate will receive an annual tax-free stipend set at the UKRI rate (£20,780 for 2025/26; subject to annual uplift), and tuition fees will be paid. EU students with settled or pre-settled status and international student can apply but their application eligibility will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Start date is October 2026. /nResearch theme: Nano and Functional Materials. Hypothesis and project focus: develop wavelength-tuned, biocompatible carbon dots (C-dots) as multifunctional fluorescent probes for pharmaceutical bioprocessing and biomedical applications including in-line biosensing of pH, reactive oxygen species, redox potential, ion concentrations and intracellular imaging and tracking. /nTo apply contact main supervisor Dr Dumanli-Parry at [email protected].
