will study the molecular-level interactions and fundamental mechanisms responsible for wet friction in hair-to-hair contacts in the presence of new additives used in silicone-free conditioners and sulfate-free shampoos. Particular emphasis will be placed upon natural products with lower environmental impact. Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD) simulations will be used to study changes on the hair surface chemistry in presence of surfactants, polymers, and natural products and their impact on hair-hair lubrication. We will also explore the use of continuum-based models and hybrid molecular-continuum simulations to capture the impact of the surface changes induced by the improved formulations on macroscale friction.</p> <p>The project will utilise coarse-grained molecular models that we have recently developed for the surface of human hair [1] that reproduce its friction properties [2,3].</p> <p>[1] Weiand et al., Soft Matter, 2022, 18, 1779 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1039/D1SM01720A">https://doi.org/10.1039/D1SM01720A</a>)</p> <p>[2] Weiand et al., Nanoscale, 2023, 15, 7086 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1039/D2NR05545G">https://doi.org/10.1039/D2NR05545G</a>)</p> <p>[3] Handa, Chemistry World, 2023 (<a href="https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/study-untangles-friction-and-surface-chemistry-in-chemically-damaged-hair/4017403.article">https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/study-untangles-friction-and-surface-chemistry-in-chemically-damaged-hair/4017403.article</a>)</p> <p><strong>This is a three year fully-funded PhD studentship available for Home students only for an immediate start</strong></p> </div> </section> </div> </div> <div class="row wysiwyg"> <h3>Who should apply?</h3> <p>Chemistry, physics, mathematics and engineering graduates who wish to learn how to apply their physical sciences skills to biological problems. Students from biological or medicinal backgrounds are usually not eligible. If in doubt, please contact us.</p> <p>The entry requirement is a degree in the physical sciences with a minimum 2.1 or above (or equivalent).</p> <h3>How is the studentship structured?</h3> <p>Our advertised studentship projects are a 1-year MRes + 3-year PhD and are fully-funded, covering all tuition fees and paying an annual bursary (stipend) for both the MRes Chemical Biology and Bio-Entrepreneurship and the PhD, subject to the candidate successfully passing the MRes.</p> <h3>Studentship funding</h3> <p>Successful applicants will be awarded a fully funded studentship. This includes:</p> <ul> <li>Annual National Minimum Doctoral Stipend, currently £19,237 + £2000 London allowance for 2024/25</li> <li>Annual Tuition fees</li> <li>A Research Training Support Grant for laboratory consumable costs of £3,500 per year</li> <li>Funding to attend conferences</li> <li>Transferable skills training</li> </ul> <p>The stipend increases annually in line with the GDP deflator, and is secured for each studentship for 4 years (1 year MRes + 3 year PhD).  </p> <h3>Fee status eligibility</h3> <p>Both 'Home' and 'Overseas' fee status candidates are eligible to apply to our programme. However, <span style="font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 400;">we have only a very limited number of international student scholarships available which are awarded on merit, on a first-come-first-served basis. This allocation is highly competitive, and we encourage applications.</span></p> <p>Overseas/international students are also welcome to self-fund and join our cohorts or apply with scholarships. In this instance, students will need to design their PhD research project with their supervisors. Some scholarship examples are:</p> <ul> <li>Imperial President’s PhD scholarship</li> <li>Imperial College China Scholarship Council</li> <li>International scholarship collaborations</li> </ul> <h3>UK eligibility</h3> <p>To be classed as a home student, candidates must meet the following criteria:</p> <ul> <li>Be a UK National (meeting residency requirements), or</li> <li>Have settled status, or</li> <li>Have pre-settled status (meeting residency requirements), or</li> <li>Have indefinite leave to remain or enter</li> </ul> </div><div class="row wysiwyg"> <p>Date of last review: 7 May
