<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;vertical-align:middle">Dear All,
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;vertical-align:middle">PGT recruitment has been very successful this year with 24 students in the new cohort and four further from the former cohort possibly progressing to project provided they pass resit
exams. As in previous years, interest is not equally distributed over the departmental research groups with maybe 2-3 projects in theory and the same in plasmas but the majority in nanoscience/solid state science, lasers, optics. This means that every academic
in the latter areas will need to provide at least one project and I encourage research staff to consider to propose also a project in collaboration with your supervisor.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;vertical-align:middle">Please supply the project descriptions on the attached template to Melanie,
<a href="mailto:melanie.mcinanny@strath.ac.uk">melanie.mcinanny@strath.ac.uk</a>, till 29<sup>th</sup> Nov 2019.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;vertical-align:middle">Projects will be allocated earlier this year than in the previous years with the selection process finished middle of February 2020. Then students will do a literature survey supervised
by the prospective project supervisors as part of the transferable skills class PH949 to prepare for the project. This will be light touch (pass/fail, no mark) but supervisors must feedback on scientific writing, referencing and critical analysis.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">If a student negotiates with you a bespoke project (not in the project booklet) till middle of January, he/she can bypass the selection process. However, every project in the project
booklet must be assigned centrally via me. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Please see timeline below.<o:p></o:p></p>
