Applicants are sought for up to 3 PhD scholarships in physics in the Radiation Imaging and Detection Group (http://www.victoria.ac.nz/xray) at Victoria University. The research to be undertaken will be on nano-structured and composite materials for X-ray, gamma-ray and neutron detection and imaging, and is a collaboration between Victoria University and two government research laboratories, IRL and GNS; there are also collaborations with other laboratories in Europe and North America.
The program seeks to develop new materials based on nano and micro–engineering of glasses, glass ceramics, and polymer-crystal composites which can yield improved performance of scintillators and phosphors. Whilst the research is at the fundamental science level, the applications are to important commercial markets in medical imaging, security, and materials testing. The group is well equipped with state-of-the-art spectroscopic and materials preparation facilities, and has access to a wider range of instrumentation through the MacDiarmid Institute for Nano-Technology and Advanced Materials.
We seek students with a first degree equivalent to the 4-year BSc (Hon) degree in New Zealand, with 1st or upper 2nd class honours, or an MSc or postgraduate Diploma. The general area of research is solid-state physics/materials science/radiation physics and so some background in one or more of those areas is desirable but not essential. The scholarship will pay PhD fees and a stipend, which is NZ $26,000 pa tax-free for 3 years. The group encourages and supports students to attend national and international conferences. Candidates should satisfy the requirements for admission as a PhD candidate at VUW (see http://www.victoria.ac.nz), which includes English language proficiency (eg TOFL score>575) if English is not the first language – see (http://www.victoria.ac.nz/international ).
Application Details
Please send a resume, academic record, and the names and contact details of two
referees to: radimdet@gmail.com with “PhD scholarship” in the subject line. Please limit attachments to 1MB in the first instance. Applications will close on 31st August 2009.
