Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
PhD studentship in Condensed Matter Physics in p ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship to work in the area of Energy Conversion and Advanced Device Platforms Based on Two-Dimensional Materials and Heterostructures.
The PhD studentship is part of the Sustainable Energy Pioneer Research Project (PRP) recently launched by Queen's University Belfast, in partnership with the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Columbia University in New York (USA). The partnership involves the groups led by Prof. Abhay Pasupathy at the Department of Physics at Columbia, and Dr. Elton Santos at the School of Mathematics and Physics as well as the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Queen's.
The student will be working in a collaborative environment where experiments and theory will be combined to advance the science and applications of energy materials and 2D-heterostructures. Several long visits at Columbia will be an essential part of the project, where experiments will be performed at world-class facilities.
Specifically, this project will investigate the electronic properties of crystalline 2D materials with thicknesses of a few atoms. A combination of material synthesis and advanced characterization tools will be used to understand the basic physics of these novel materials and evaluate their suitability for electronic and optical applications.
The applicants should have a university degree in physics, chemistry or equivalent (minimum entry 2:1). Imaginative and highly motivated candidates are encouraged to apply. The position is available immediately, and the start date is negotiable.
Applicants with British citizenship or have been residents in the UK for 3 years are invited to apply.
How to apply
Interested applicants should complete an online application form, available from the following website at https://dap.qub.ac.uk/portal/user/u_login.php, providing an up-to-date CV, a letter of motivation, and the names and contact details of at least two academic referees.
Informal enquiries may be directed to Prof. Abhay Pasupathy ([email protected]) or Dr. Elton Santos ([email protected]).
Closing date: May 31st 2017 or till position is filled.
