Modelling Neutrino Interactions for Next Generation Neutrino Experiments at University of Sheffield 2025

Eligibility

• The Modelling Neutrino Interactions for Next Generation Neutrino Experiments PhD project at the University of Sheffield is open to UK/EU students with a strong background in particle physics, nuclear theory, and simulation techniques. Applicants should have a good understanding of neutrino physics and Monte Carlo simulations.
• A relevant undergraduate degree in physics or a closely related field is required, and experience with data analysis or computational physics will be advantageous.

Application Process

• To apply for this competition-funded PhD, candidates must submit their application through the University of Sheffield's postgraduate application portal: PhD Study at Sheffield. 

Value/Benefits

• This competition-funded PhD offers the chance to contribute to next-generation neutrino experiments, such as T2K and Hyper-K, by modelling and constraining neutrino interactions.
• The successful candidate will work on Monte Carlo simulations to investigate neutrino interactions with various materials, contributing to a better understanding of neutrino oscillations and the weak force.
