/ January 18, 2011 1 Comment

Two Marie-Curie Early Stage Researcher (ESR; PhD) positions in “Graphene based Supramolecular Organic Electronics” are available at ISIS, University of Strasbourg (France) within the frame work of “GENIUS” Marie Curie Initial Training Network funded by the EU . We are looking for highly motivated graduate students with a strong background in one or more of the following fields: chemistry and materials science, surface science, solid state physics, supramolecular chemistry. A Master Degree in Chemistry or Materials Science and excellent command of English is required. Appointees can be nationals of any country other than the country of the premises of the host organization where they will carry out their project. However they must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of the host for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment.

Erasmus Mundus Master in Materials Science Exploring Large Scale Facilities(MaMaSELF)

/ January 18, 2011 Leave a Comment

Modern life and globalisation imply new and additional exigencies for scientists and scientific engineers in the field of scientific and industrial competitiveness. This holds specifically for the development of new technologies and new materials which are important key-products and which contribute to the technological and scientific competitiveness of highly industrialized countries. The characterisation of these materials and also the optimising of technologies strongly demand sophisticated methods, some of them uniquely available at “Large Scale Facilities” using neutrons or synchrotron radiation.

MaMaSELF is a two-year full time European Masters program in Materials Science, building up a European platform, strongly involving “Large Scale Research Facilities”. The Masters degree is delivered by two or three out of four universities: Rennes1 (F), Torino (I), TUM and LMU at München (DE).

This Master aims to promote the scientific collaboration between Universities, Large Scale Facilities and Industry. Its main objective is to achieve skilled scientists in Materials Science together with an advanced knowledge in the use of Large Scale Facilities for the characterization of high tech materials.

Criteria are three successful years of full time studies spent in a national BSc course (or equivalent) in Materials Science or related areas (Physics, Chemistry, Geoscience etc…) together with a proficiency level of scientific English, e.g. TOEFL210/550, IELTS6.5, or similar. The enrolment will be limited to 45 students per year to guarantee an excellent professor/student ratio. Several important European Large Scale Facilities (ESRF and ILL (Grenoble, France), LLB Saclay, France), DESY (Hamburg, Germany) and FRM II (Munich, Germany), ELETTRA, Italy) strongly support this Master and will co-organize the summer school and will host students in the fourth semester to follow research activities.

Strongly multidisciplinary lectures in Chemistry, Physics and Material Science will be entirely given in English. Students will receive a double/multiple Master degree in Material Science, giving direct access to further PhD studies.

Scholarship Application Deadline:26/01/2011 for CAT A Scholarship (non-EU students) and 20/05/2011 for CAT B Scholarship
