As the year 2024 comes to a close, we’re happy to share an exciting opportunity at the new centre for doctoral training (CDT) in Quantum Informatics in the UK – The University of Edinburgh, University of Oxford, UCL, Heriot-Watt University, University of Strathclyde. We’re happy to support and highly encourage women to apply!
EPSRC CDT in Quantum Informatics: 16 fully funded PhD studentships for September 2025 entry
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Informatics is now accepting applications for September 2025 entry.
At least 16 fully funded 4-year PhD studentships are available. Visit our website for more details about the programme and find out how to apply.
Deadline: 15 January 2025
Quantum computing provides unprecedented means to overcome bottlenecks of complex problems. The greatest impediment to realising the potential of quantum computing is lack of people power. End-to-end solutions take years to develop and require skills outside traditional quantum engineering and physics. They require Quantum Informatics: enabling the use of quantum technology ways that are interoperable and impactful. The QI CDT will train a new generation of students in the interaction of quantum hardware, software, and applications. A cohort based 4-year PHD programme with integrated study offers comprehensive, interdisciplinary training that bridges computer science, mathematics, physics, and engineering. It equips students to tackle complex quantum challenges while considering their commercial and societal impacts.
At a glance:
* Bridges computer science, physics, mathematics, and engineering
* 70+ academic supervisors from the University of Edinburgh, University College London, University of Oxford, University of Strathclyde, and Heriot-Watt University
* 30+ global industry partners offering close collaboration on projects, internships and placements
* Year 1 at the Quantum Software Lab
* Residential programme at the National Quantum Computing Centre
* Optional immersive research visits to 10+ international partner universities
* Generous support for entrepreneurship and startup development
* Diverse programme of CDT events including spring schools, residential symposia, and partner engagement days
Student support for all needs
We seek to foster an inclusive and accessible environment where everybody feels supported and respected. The CDT programme offers tailored support and flexible working patterns to meet individual student needs. Studies can be undertaken on a part-time basis to accommodate students wishing to combine their studies with work or personal responsibilities. All CDT studentships are fully funded and have provisions for sick pay, parental leave and disabled students support. We also provide individual coaching sessions to students from underrepresented groups to support their PhD journey and post-PhD career choices.
Funding
Funding covers tuition fees and a stipend for 4 years, and an individual budget for travel and research costs. Both UK and international students are eligible for the funding.
