Overview
Applications are invited for ten four-year studentships leading to both MRes and PhD degrees in the newly-established Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) in Plastic Electronics involving Imperial College London and Queen Mary College, University of London. Funding is available for UK and EU candidates meeting the Research Council criterion of having been ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK for the past three years.
The Plastic Electronics DTC aims to train doctoral scientists in this exciting, fast moving and interdisciplinary field. The participating departments are Physics, Chemistry and Materials at Imperial and the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Queen Mary, University of London. Over 40 industrial and academic partners have offered their help in the design and support of projects.
Duties
In the first 12 months students will embark on the newly established MRes programme, gaining a thorough foundation in the physics, chemistry, materials science and device engineering of plastic electronic materials. They will also complete an interdisciplinary research project. A key aspect of the MRes will be the hands-on training in diverse areas including microscopy, printing and processing, device fabrication and molecular modelling. Visiting industrial lecturers will teach advanced courses in the state-of-the-art methods and technology, and an option to develop the MRes project as an entrepreneurship exercise is offered.
During the Ph.D. studies students will pursue their chosen research area in depth, under the guidance of two supervisors from different disciplines, and with continuing participation in advanced courses, and professional skills development. Some students will carry out projects in collaboration with industrial or overseas labs while others will visit such labs for specific measurements. Both experimental and theoretical projects are available.
Number of fundings
Eleven fully funded places for the four-year programme are available, additional students joining the participating groups will benefit from the same training programme. The programme is open to graduates with at least a 2.1 degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or Chemical Engineering. Other first degrees may be considered. You should be looking for a challenging, interdisciplinary research training environment and have an active interest in the applications of new materials.
Application and how to apply
For more information, on how to apply, contact Dr Sophie Armstrong-Brown (s.armstrong-brown@imperial.ac.uk). Informal inquiries may be made to Dr Paul Stavrinou (p.stavrinou@imperial.ac.uk).
