No more applications being accepted
Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
The nanoplasmonics group in the Physics Department of Imperial College London, headed by Prof Stefan Maier, currently has a vacancy for qualified EU nationals, to be taken up as soon as possible. The topics of the PhD is quite flexible, falling in the general areas of nanoplasmonics and optical metamaterials. Applicants with interests in quantum optics and biosensing are particularly encouraged to apply.
