PhD Studentship: Multiphoton Nano Markers, JSMC, Germany

/ April 6, 2011 Leave a Comment

his project will study novel nanomaterials with outstanding properties for enlarging the imaging and
sensing tool?box of life sciences. These nanoparticles/wires are made of niobate crystals and emit light through second?harmonic generation (SHG) rather than fluorescence. The interdisciplinary tasks of the project range from the synthesis and the optical characterization of the nanomaterials to their
combination with plasmonics effects and the applications in optofluidics devices.

We expect:
• a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Natural Sciences (ideally physics, material sciences or
biotechnology). Candidates about to obtain their degree are welcome to apply.
• strong interests for optics, nanotechnology and biotechnology.
• high motivation and interest in joining one of the interdisciplinary research areas of the JSMC
• creativity and interest in shaping your own thesis project
• an integrative and cooperative personality
• very good communication skills in English (the language of instruction at the JSMC)

We offer:
• a highly communicative atmosphere within a scientific network providing top?level research
conditions
• a PhD stipend paid for three years according to the rules of the DFG (German Research Foundation) as well as generous research funding
• a comprehensive mentoring program with efficient supervision by a team of supervisors
• a top?level PhD training program with courses in state?of?the?art research technologies and soft skills
• Jena – the German City of Science 2008: a young and lively town with dynamic business activities, successful scientific centers of innovation and a vibrant cultural scene around the famous Friedrich Schiller University

Scholarship Application Deadline:Deadline for applicants who will require a visa to enter Germany and attend the recruitment meeting in June: April 6, 2011

PhD Studentship in Medical/Clinical Devices at Nottingham Trent University, UK

/ April 6, 2011 Leave a Comment

The School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment at Nottingham Trent University has an ambitious development strategy which allows us to offer an exciting opportunity for a PhD Studentship. The studentships will pay UK/EU fees and provide a maintenance stipend linked to the RCUK rate (£13,590 per annum for 2011/12) for up to three years. Applications are invited from those looking to pursue doctoral study in the subject area of medical/clinical device development. The research area could include design applications utilising smart materials and technologies. Designers are increasingly becoming aware of the potential use and integration of smart materials and technologies within their designs. One of the critical steps towards building innovative surgical solutions will be to link physicians and product designers utilising the appropriate materials and technologies to provide tangible improvements in patient care and treatment.
Designers are trained to think three dimensionally about form. In creating a new medical device, designers must understand the complex set of issues that exist in a variety of environments. It also illustrates the need for designers to understand a wide range of styles and techniques and transform ideas and visions into new pioneering products ready for market. We are interested in considering applications that will demonstrate an integrated design approach with a keen interest in utilising and implementing novel technologies.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 April 2011.

PhD Studentship within the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hardon Collider, Sweden

/ April 6, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Uppsala ATLAS group is part of the High Energy Physics group at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and currently consists of three faculty members, one post-doctor and three graduate students. We are looking for an excellent and highly motivated PhD student with keen interest in experimental physics and competence within data analysis programs (e.g. C++ and ROOT). The PhD student will work on physics analysis of data from ATLAS and take part in the development of tools for distributed analysis on the grid needed for this purpose.

The PhD position is funded for four years, extendible to a maximum of five years including department duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching).

Scholarship Application Deadline:April 29, 2011
