Call for Research Funding, Centres of Excellence Scheme by Research Council of Norway, Norway

/ April 13, 2011 Leave a Comment

A funding announcement for the SFF scheme is planned to be issued every five years.The Centres of Excellence (SFF) scheme is a national scheme under the auspices of the Research Council of Norway. The Research Council of Norway provides the basic funding for the scheme with allocations from the annual yield of the Fund for Research and Innovation.

A high level of scientific merit in relation to international standards is the main criterion used to assess and prioritise the grant proposals. This criterion applies to the planned research activity as well as to the centre’s key scientific staff. Important secondary objectives of the scheme are to strengthen researcher recruitment and expand international cooperation.This programme/activity normally accepts grant applications from:SFF host institutions may be universities (including university hospitals), university colleges and independent research institutes that have the resources needed to fulfil the requirements set out for the SFF scheme.

    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

    Scholarship Application Deadline:    29/05/2011
