I am recruiting a PhD student to join my group at the University of Cambridge, starting in October 2027.
The position is funded by my ERC Starting Grant QUANTEX and will explore how extreme pressure changes electronic structure, chemical bonding, and chemical periodicity, using ab initio methods, crystal structure prediction, and machine learning.
I am looking for applicants interested in theoretical chemistry, condensed matter physics, and computational materials science, with a strong interest in theoretical and solid-state chemistry.
Application deadline: 31 December 2026.
The position is advertised as a fixed-term Research Assistant role. Full details and application instructions are available here:

Thank you my brother โค๏ธ. One of the things we (@EncourageScI) plan to organise in the next couple of weeks is a presentation workshop.
One important consideration for โmaking your presentation singโ is to actively carry your audience along (not as easy as it sounds). 1/n
Learnt how to do this from a mentor on here!
With Infographics, and all you have to do is master speaking to your slides.
Thank you Doc. @Horabz, and great work with @EncourageScI (every science student should check out the initiative). ๐๐พ

If youโre struggling with where or how to write your Letter of Motivation (LOM), this may help.
I usually write my LOM in 5 paragraphs. This approach worked well for me, and Iโve also used it when guiding applicants who later secured DAAD EPOS scholarships...

I am not just sending applications, I am claiming my future.
Claim it, prepare with excellence, and make today count.
