Two Full-Time PhD in Physics and Astronomy, Australia: Physics & Astronomy – Unlocking the ultraviolet: ultrafast Cerium lasers

/ February 16, 2011 Leave a Comment

Two full-time PhD Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarships (MQRES) are available in the Department of Physics and Astronomy associated with successful ARC project DP110102754. Only one of these scholarships is available to a suitably qualified international student.
We have recently proved the enormous potential of a deep ultraviolet laser based on cerium-doped laser crystals – a relatively new widely tunable solid state laser material that has been called the “Ti:Sapphire of the UV”. We have now been awarded a major grant to develop a completely new ultrafast laser platform based on cerium, capable of generating few-femtosecond pulses in the ultraviolet. A UV source of this kind will drive new applications in fields such as attosecond science, plasma physics, and ultrafast chemistry.

The Johan Gadolin scholarship programme was founded in 2007. It is funded by the Åbo Akademi Foundation and coordinated by the Åbo Akademi Process Chemistry Centre, a National Centre of Excellence.

The Johan Gadolin Scholarship-programme invites PhD students and post docs to join the Åbo Akademi Process Chemistry Centre for a period between 3 to 12 months in the city of Turku in the south-west of Finland. They participate in ongoing research projects and benefit from an innovative top-level research environment. Scholars from 12 different countries worldwide have participated in the programme.The Process Chemistry Centre at Åbo Akademi University is looking for capable PhD students and post docs focusing on the areas of:

  • Biofuel combustion and functional inorganic materials (.doc)
  • Catalysis and kinetics, reaction engineering (.doc)
  • Chemical aspects of wood, pulping and papermaking, biorefinery (.doc)
  • Electroactive materials, chemical sensors, environmental and on-line analysis (.doc)

Scholarship Application Deadline: 30 April 2011
