PhD studentship in semiconductor optical radiation detectors

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Ohio University has a funded PhD studentship available in the area of semiconductor optical radiation detectors. This position is open to both US and international students with relevant academic background and an interest in pursuing advanced research in optoelectronics. Funding includes tuition waiver and a stipend of $20,000 a year for three years.

This program will require both advisor-led research and successfully passing required graduate courses. The research component is mainly experimental and will involve working on both semiconductor device fabrication and measurements of device characteristics.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, hard-working and disciplined person with a background in semiconductor science and technology. Extensive knowledge of semiconductors and semiconductor devices is desirable but not essential as further training will be provided through graduate courses in relevant areas. However, a good understanding of basic Physics and some electronics is an essential requirement. Similarly, good mathematical and English writing skills are also needed.

Admission requirements include a good four-year Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering or Physics, together with appropriate GRE and TOEFL scores.

Ohio University is a public teaching/research university located in Athens, south-eastern Ohio, with a beautiful campus setting along the Hocking river. We are located in the Russ College of Engineering and Technology which offers graduate and undergraduate education in a variety of Engineering disciplines. There are plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities available both within and around the Athens area. Columbus – the capital of Ohio is located approximately 75 miles north of Athens. Other large Ohio cities, such as Cleveland and Cincinnati are also easily accessible from Athens.
