Technology | Scholarship for Nigerians and Africans - Part 35

2011 Postdoctoral Fellowship in Laser Spectroscopy, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands

You will study the dynamics of excitons and charge carriers with femto second and nanosecond pump-probe laser techniques, including microwave and terahertz conductivity measurements. In addition, high-energy electron pulses may be used to specifically generate charges. You will study to what extent photo excitation of the polymer leads to generation of excitons and free charges. The relation between material structure and charge mobility will be investigated. Exciton diffusion and dissociation into mobile charges will be studied for blends of the polymers with electron acceptors. The research will provide information about the mechanism of motion of excitons and charges.
Candidates must have a PhD degree in physics or chemistry, and ideally have experience with time-resolved spectroscopy.

IGBMC International PhD Programme, France: Biomedical research

IGBMC’s PhD Programme is based on a three year – intensive training which comprises dedicated research investigations and active participation in diverse lectures and practicals. Close collaborations with other research institutions in the “Parc d’Innovation” such as the adjacent MCI (Mouse Clinical Institute), the trinational biotechnology school ESBS (Ecole Supérieure de Biotechnologie Strasbourg ), the Faculty of Pharmacy as well as ISIS (Institut de Science et d’Ingénierie Supramoléculaires ) and the University of Strasbourg at large, contribute to synergistic and collegial interactions within and beyond IGBMC. Concomitantly with the highly cosmopolitan and dynamic nature of Strasbourg, our 280 students and post-doctoral fellows from over 30 distinct countries represent a key driving force of IGBMC international visibility.

The selection committee is composed of Group Leaders of the IGBMC. Students spend 3-4 years in one of the laboratories of the IGBMC, and attend lectures, seminars and courses to complete their training. During the course of their PhD, students will acquire all the skills they need to pursue successful careers in biology. They will be able to attend numerous first-class seminars given by internationally renowned scientists and discuss with them. They will experience the everyday excitement of working in a lab in an intellectually stimulating and dynamic environment.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 30th April 2011
