💡Current OPPORTUNITIES 💡

ONGOING: Self-funded PhD students (enquiries via email)

We are always keen to hear from interested undergraduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and potential collaborators who are interested in joining or working with our group.

Please email Dr Lewis MacKenzie (l.mackenzie@strath.ac.uk) with any enquiries.

Any formal roles will be listed here and on our homepage as and when they are available.


“People Make Glasgow” a slogan of our friendly city! And very true of research teams too!

Postdoctoral Researchers: we are keen to hear from enthusiastic postdoctoral researchers and can support bids for international fellowships if suitable (e.g. the Royal Society Newton International Fellowship or the European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action schemes). Funded postdoctoral positions will be advertised here and on Jobs.ac.uk.

PhD students: we are always keen to hear from potential PhD students. We will advertise funded PhD studentships on our group website and usually FindAPhD.com too. We also encourage enquiries from international students who have their own funding or who may be looking to apply for funding.

Postgraduate students: we host postgraduate research projects (e.g. via the Strathclyde MSc Nanoscience course). Please contact Dr Lewis MacKenzie to discuss potential projects if you are interested.

Undergraduate students and summer studentships: we host undergraduate research projects (Strathclyde Level 4 and 5) and summer students for placements. Summer studentships can be funded via various means such the Strathclyde EPSRC Vacation Internship, the Research Interns at Strathclyde scheme, or the Carnegie Trust Vacation Scholarships scheme. For international summer studentships, timelines vary. If you are interested in a summer placement, please contact Dr Lewis MacKenzie as early as possible (ideally before early January each year) to discuss potential projects.

Buchanan Street, at the heart of Glasgow, and just a few minutes walk from our lab.
