THOMAS YOUNG CENTRE:
THE LONDON CENTRE FOR THEORY AND SIMULATION OF MATERIALS
Supervisors in TYC research groups advertise their PhD positions but often there are further opportunities available by directly contacting group supervisors.
You are encouraged to contact the supervisors informally by e-mail to find out about any available opportunities, obtain more details, and to find out if your qualifications are suitable. It is always a good idea to attach your c.v. when you first make contact.
The leaders of TYC research groups always welcome enquiries about PhD positions in their groups - either those listed online or others that may be available. Many of the groups can offer studentships that are funded by UK or overseas research councils, by collaborations with government or industry, by international partnerships, or by Centres for Doctoral Training.

Potential students can either apply to do their PhD in one of the Centres for Doctoral Training, or with a chosen supervisor in an academic department.
The main Training Centres relevant to TYC include:
* The CDT in Theory and Simulation of Materials at Imperial College
* The EngD Centre in Molecular Modelling and Materials Science at UCL
