    PhD Positions in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands

    / April 13, 2011 Leave a Comment

    New forms of power-efficient, photonic integrated circuits are required to address challenges in data networking, computing and sensing. Photonic integration offers massive bandwidths, but the achievable circuit complexity is in its infancy. This research program addresses the key circuit level challenges in realising ultrafast signal processing for multi-Tb/s and THz class solutions.This research is embedded in a soon-to-be-started Dutch project Smartlight on next generation integrated photonic circuits solutions for interconnection and signal processing networks. The role of the PhD student will encompass aspects of design, clean room fabrication and assessment.

    The candidate should have a master degree in the physical sciences or engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering. The candidate is expected to have a strong background in:
    • Semiconductor physics
    • Electronics
    • Photonics
    It is an advantage if the candidate has experience with:
    • Clean room processing
    • Optoelectronic circuit design
    • Computer programming languages and computer aided design
    • Measurement techniques

    Indo-Finish Joint Call Nanomaterials Research

    / April 13, 2011 Leave a Comment

    The successful projects will be funded in India by DST and in Finland by the Academy of Finland. The joint projects must meet the criteria of the funding agencies. The research projects are funded for a maximum of three years. The funding period starts by January 2012.
    Application procedure
    The Indian and Finnish co-applicants will develop one joint research plan that will be sent to both the DST and Academy of Finland using the forms of each organisation, respectively. The applications must include a statement on how the proposed collaboration brings added valued for both countries.
    The project budget must clearly delineate justified Indian and Finnish costs. The costs of the Indian partner must be eligible as per the guidelines of the DST. Accordingly, the costs of the Finish partner must be eligible as per the guidelines of the Academy of Finland. Applicants are reminded to include sufficient budget for travel between India and Finland to ensure successful collaboration.
    When drawing up their budget, applicants shall take into account that the Finnish partner pays the travel expenses of the visiting Indian researcher in Finland as well as his/her accommodation, and per diem allowances. Correspondingly, the Indian partner pays the travel expenses in India of the Finnish researcher as well as his/her accommodation and per diem allowances. As the joint research projects are funded in bilateral mode the researcher mobility between the two countries should be balanced.

    Scholarship Application Deadline:31st May 2011
