Call for proposals for Faraday Institution / ISIS Neutron & Muon Source studentship
Proposals for a joint ISIS / Faraday institution studentship are now sought for a 2022 start
ECNS Conference – Student Highlights
ISIS Neutron and Muon Source supported PhD students from across the UK to present at the European Conference on Neutron Scattering (ECNS) in St Petersburg in June/July 2019.
End of Year Placement Interviews 21/22
As we welcome the next batch of placement students, we wanted to get in touch with the 2020/21 cohort and ask them to reflect on their time in ISIS Neutron and Muon Source.
From placement to publication: all before leaving school
During a two-week placement at ISIS, Europa school student Emilie Revill-Hivet made and characterised a compound: lithium methanesulfonate, leading to the publication of an article in Royal Society Open Science.
Industrial Placements 2021/22 now open
STFC's Industrial Placement scheme gives undergraduate students the opportunity to work at ISIS for 12 months.
ISIS Neutron Training Course
The ISIS Neutron Training Course is a practical instrument-based course for postgraduate and post-doc researchers who have little or no experience of neutron scattering, but whose future research program will make use of time-of-flight neutron techniques.
ISIS Student Conferences
Details of meetings run exclusively for students.
ISIS-Diamond Crystallography Student Day
On 4 February, the crystallography communities from ISIS and Diamond came together to celebrate the work of their PhD and Year in Industry placement students.
Meet the Placement Students 2022/23
A talk with our new placement students on their time at ISIS so far...
Meet the Placement Students 2023-24
It’s been a few months since our industrial placement students started their roles. Orla Fernie, Science Communication Placement Student (is placement student-ception a thing?) spoke to some of her colleagues about their roles here.
Meet the Sandwich Students 2021
ISIS Neutron and Muon Source would like to welcome our new cohort of Sandwich Students for 2021.The sandwich student scheme offers students the opportunity to spend a year away from their degrees and gain valuable work experience.
Muon Training School
ISIS runs a biennial training schools on how to use muons as a research tool. These include a variety of lectures and workshops on the muon technique given by experienced researchers, and also the chance to perform muon experiments.
PhD Studentships
Applications are now open for PhD positions co-funded by the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source.
The Oxford School on Neutron Scattering
The Oxford School on Neutron Scattering runs every two years. It takes around 60 students for 12 days, and aims to provide an in-depth grounding to theory , techniques, applications, facilities (pulsed and steady) and beamtime proposal.
UK Neutron & Muon Science and User Meeting 2019
The UK Neutron and Muon Science and User Meeting (NMSUM) took place at Warwick University from 29 April - 1 May 2019.
