“We seek to challenge and excite students, and to innovate and broaden the courses we offer. In research, the faculty offers a potent combination of world class people and outstanding facilities. While our reputable strength in core subject areas – evidenced most recently by the 2014 Research Excellence Framework – fosters a strong interdisciplinary approach.

“The University of Bristol was ranked among the top five UK institutions in the REF, while the Faculty of Science ranked in the top three – a credit to the quality and diversity of our postgraduate cohort and testament to the opportunities we provide for students and researchers in a globally competitive world.

“The faculty plays a leading role in a network of 12 Centres for Doctoral Training and Doctoral Training Partnerships, cross-faculty partnerships, a host of external industry and university partners, all overseen by the Bristol Doctoral College.

“Innovation and creativity lies at the core of science. Bristol’s reputation in both regards means we attract outstanding academic talent at all levels, and can offer exciting opportunities to postdoctoral researchers.
