Dr M McLachlan
Applications accepted all year round
Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Fully-funded 3-year PhD studentship available from October 2012
Towards Fully Printable Complementary Electronics on Flexible Substrates
Supervisor: Dr. Martyn McLachlan
Duration: 36 months
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship investigating new electronic materials and device applications. The project is funded by KAUST and based in the in the Department of Materials at the central London Campus of Imperial College although the successful candidates will spend time at the sponsor for research exchanges.
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is an international, graduate-level research university. Research at KAUST focuses on areas that are important to the future of Saudi Arabia, the region and the world and takes place in world-class facilities serving students, researchers and faculty in disciplines such as energy and environment, water desalination, industrial biotechnology, and scientific computing.
The project is focused on addressing key challenges related to oxide electronics including i) reducing the processing temperature of i high-performance oxide-based active layers, ii) developing solution processable p-type oxides, iii) developing low-cost, large-area deposition techniques for these novel materials, iv) correlating processing methodologies with performance in a range of near future device applications.
We are seeking candidates with a minimum 2:1 (or equivalent) first degree in Materials Science, Chemistry or Applied Physics.
You will work within a team of dynamic PhD Students and Research Associates, in newly refurbished laboratories on the South Kensington Campus. You will also have extensive interaction with several academic collaborators from Imperial College as well as project partners. You will have access to the state-of-the-art facilities within the department and at the Centre for Plastic Electronics.
The project will be supervised by Dr Martyn McLachlan and informal enquiries should be sent to Dr. Martyn McLachlan [Email Address Removed]
For questions regarding the admissions process, please contact Fiona Thomson [Email Address Removed]
Formal applications can be completed online: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/materials/research/phdopportunities while information about the Department can be found at http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/materials.
Applications will be considered from now onwards.
Committed to equality and valuing diversity. We are also an Athena Bronze SWAN Award winner, a Stonewall Diversity Champion and a Two Ticks Employer

Project supervisors
Career overview
Prof. Martyn McLachlan joined the Department of Materials at Imperial College London in late 2004 as a postdoctoral researcher, working on an industrially funded project with Royal Dutch Shell, led by Professor David McComb. In 2007, he was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship and was subsequently appointed as a Lecturer in 2013. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2015, then to Reader in 2017, and most recently to full Professor in 2020. Throughout his tenure at Imperial, Prof. McLachlan has held several significant roles within the Department of Materials and across the College, including serving as the course Director for the Advanced Materials Science and Engineering MSc and Director of Undergraduate Studies. He also served as a College Warden for nearly a decade and is currently the Deputy Faculty Senior Tutor for Engineering. In 2021, he succeeded Professor Stephen Skinner as the Imperial Director of the Centre for Doctoral Training in the Advanced Characterisation of Materials (CDT-ACM), a collaborative initiative involving Imperial College, University College London, and Trinity College Dublin. Prof. McLachlan is affiliated with the Centre for Doctoral Training in Plastic Electronic Materials (PE-CDT) and actively engages with the Centre for Processable Electronics (CPE) at Imperial. His research activities and outputs can be explored further on his personal website, which also provides information on current projects, vacancies, and collaborative research resources.
Research interests
Prof. McLachlan''s research focuses on materials engineering, macromolecular and materials chemistry, physical chemistry (including structural aspects), interdisciplinary engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and inorganic chemistry. His work engages strongly with the Centre for Processable Electronics and the Centre for Doctoral Training in Plastic Electronic Materials. He has been involved in various research activities and projects, which are detailed on his personal website, including current projects and collaborative research resources.
