No more applications being accepted
Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)
About the Project
Applications are invited for a research PhD in the Lancaster Quantum Technology Centre, making and studying novel plasmonic coupled nano-pillar photodetectors. The successful applicant will build on the group’s existing expertise in the growth and characterisation of novel infrared optoelectronic semiconductor materials, leading work in the exciting new direction of patterned nano-scale growth. They will then process their material in Lancaster’s new state of the art nano-fabrication cleanroom, to realise novel plasmonic coupled nano-scale infrared photodetectors. This work has important potential applications in the diverse fields of defence and security, environmental observation, healthcare, energy and more.
It is expected that the successful candidate will benefit from a significant interaction with long standing industrial partners, who have an interest in the devices they will be researching. This will include presentations to companies and at international conferences. They will also enjoy working in a thriving research group with fellow students and researcher sharing their knowledge in related fields. The Lancaster Physics department has a world leading research profile, ranked top in the UK by the most recent Research Assessment Exercise.
Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr. Andrew Marshall ([Email Address Removed]), who will supervise this project.
