PhD Opportunities

Our Application cycle for PhDs starting in September 2025 is now open. All applications should be submitted through the KCL application portal (specify EPAP group) – application link

We anticipate 1-2 fully funded studentships (covering fees and maintenance stipend at the UKRI rate for 3.5 years) with opportunity for both UK and international candidates. We will defined our priority project areas when funding is confirmed, but at this point we welcome applications expressing interest in any area of our research. We will consider all applications against all positions (taking any eligibility constraints into account).

Additionally, we are keen to recruit students through the Kings-China Scholarship Council (K-CSC) scheme and other international funding opportunities (see below for links). We are also keen to help applicants from under-represented groups apply for the Bell Burnell graduate scholarship fund (also linked below). If you are interested in applying through different international funding schemes such as KCSC or self-funding please contact us by email as early as you can.
