The National Physical Laboratory, UK, seeks a PhD candidate for a prestigious MSCA Doctoral Network position. The candidate will play a pivotal role in the MENTOR project on environmentally friendly indoor photovoltaics. Working on the topic "New methods for accurate and reproducible assessment of performance, losses and reliability in indoor PV cells and modules", they will be responsib...

Developing sustainable ICT and future telecommunications systems (e.g., 6G, quantum comms, AI-assist) with a bold focus on resilience has become a key national priority. Congested radio spectrum and coexistence of broadband wireless systems produce interferences and increase the real risk of failing future telecommunication infrastructure. Highly sensitive receivers and the ability to measure we...

An EPSRC industrial doctoral landscape award between the University of Oxford and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is available from Oct 2025. The persistent lack of protein sequence-to-function links remains one of the most intractable problems in biology. This PhD project will focus on establishing metrology foundations for AI-driven protein design through experimentation run at sca...

The studentship will support the industrial translation of emerging ultrathin 2D semiconductor materials by developing smart metrology and best-practice approaches to fingerprint and monitor material quality characteristics across entire process pathways. The project brings together expert academic expertise at the University of Cambridge and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to form new mea...
