The University of Nottingham’s School of Physics and Astronomy is celebrating a bumper crop of top new research brains in its Particle Theory Group after receiving a major new grant and an unprecedented number of postdoctoral researchers on fellowships from around the world.

The £442,000 grant from the Science and Technology Facilities Council, held jointly with the Quantum Gravity Group in the School of Mathematical Sciences, is for pioneering work on the cosmology of the early and late universe.

As well as securing the STFC funding for the next three years, the Particle Theory Group is bucking the trend in the current funding climate and has successfully applied for four new postdoctoral fellowships from the Royal Astronomical Society, European Union, Leverhulme Trust and a University of Nottingham Fellowship.
