PhD Studentship: Many-Body Systems: A fully-funded PhD studentship is available at King’s College London, focusing on the hydrodynamic principles governing many-body systems that are out of equilibrium. The project aims to explore large-scale correlations and fluctuations with an emphasis on quantum effects and statistical mechanics.

Eligibility/Qualification
- Open to UK and international students.
- A 2:1 or first-class undergraduate degree, or an MMath, MSci, or Master’s degree with Merit and high grades in relevant modules.
- A solid background in either theoretical physics or applied mathematics is expected.
- Basic knowledge of coding for numerical simulations is preferred.
Description
The PhD project will investigate:
