We are proud to support the Marie Curie fellowship programme, designed to assist researchers with 0-8 years of post-PhD experience.
Marie Curie fellowship
Status: Closed. Opens April 2024
Eligibility: Must meet mobility rules
Application process: In preparation for the funder deadline, we invite expressions of interest from those wishing to apply for a Marie Curie fellowship with our Physics and Astronomy Department.
I applied for the Marie Curie Fellowship with The University of Manchester (UoM) to advance my in-depth research in multiphase flow instabilities.
The Department of Physics & Astronomy at UoM, with its world-renowned faculty and state-of-the-art vibrational fluid systems and flow visualization facilities, was the ideal setting for my experimental studies in interfacial fragmentation and droplet formation in oscillating two-layer fluids.
I am currently working on the fellowship project titled 'On-Demand Emulsions from Oscillatory Two-phase Shear Flows', aiming to control the vibration to generate bespoke mono-disperse emulsions, with potential applications in solvent extraction.
During this fellowship, UoM has provided me with essential financial support, expanded my research networks, and offered a variety of professional development training opportunities, greatly promoting my career development.

Expression of interest
To ensure the submission of high-quality proposals, the department conducts an internal selection process for all major fellowship applications. It is essential to reach out early to discuss potential alignment with our funding schemes and departmental goals.
For schemes with a limited number of applicants per university, please submit a brief expression of interest (1-2 pages) for review by our academic leads. If you require guidance, our leads are available for advice. In some instances, a further sift will occur at the faculty or university-wide level.
Our internal selection process holistically assesses candidates, disregarding factors such as years since PhD, PhD institution, national origin, number of publications, or protected characteristics, unless mandated by funders.
We advise you to email your expression of interest to our fellowship support team as soon as possible and well in advance of the funder deadline.
We support a range of fellowships
Our Physics Department supports postdoctoral, tenure-track, and established researchers in their fields, including the Newton International fellowship.
