Scottish Universities Physics Alliance

Applications are open for SUPA industrial Studentships are support researchers of any nationality in order to perform postgraduate research in Physics and Life Sciences (PaLS) within industry and academia for a PhD at any of the eight participating SUPA universities

This is an exciting opportunity to work with the Microscale Sensors Group at UWS and SST Sensing Ltd, a Scottish sensor company specialising in the design and manufacture of sensors for domestic, industrial and aerospace applications.

Eight Scottish universities are to share almost £48 million to grow their physics research capabilities. The Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council (SFC) and the participating universities have confirmed funding for SUPA.

The SUPA START feasibility study awards have been launched. These can provide up to £5,000.
