From time to time, other studentships are offered at Royal Holloway.
In this project, the student will investigate the dynamics of strongly interacting quantum systems in order to explain the recent experimental results. They will learn how to use recently developed mathematical tools useful for analytical calculations and will do High Performance Computing using Graphical Processor Units to simulate numerically the quantum dynamics of many body systems.
Royal Holloway, University of London and the British Library are pleased to announce the availability of a fully funded Collaborative Doctoral Studentship from 1 October 2025 under the AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership Scheme. This project will investigate the history and provenance of Paul Hirsch’s music collection—one of the world’s most significant private music libraries at the time of his escape from Germany to the UK in 1936. The student will investigate how Hirsch built his collection and how it acted as a salon and sanctuary for intellectuals in Frankfurt, within the context of other collections that the Nazi regime targeted and which were subsequently relocated, dispersed, or destroyed during the 1930s and early 1940s.
