PhD positions

PhD positions are available every year. Prospective candidates are invited to send the CV and two reference letters directly to Dr A. C. Ferrari (acf26@eng.cam.ac.uk). Please note most fully funded scholarships are applicable only to EU students. Non-EU students must secure additional independent funding to meet the University overseas requirements.

We especially look for candidates with top class degrees in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science.

Research Associate in Graphene/Nanotube-based Spectroscopy

A position exists for a research associate to work on graphene and nanotube-based spectroscopy. The project is funded by the European Research Council. The aim is to develop a new class of optoelectronic devices embedding the optical and electronic functionalities of graphene and carbon nanotubes. The main task will be to gain full understanding of the kinetic and relaxation properties of charge carriers and lattice modes in graphene, graphene layers and nanotubes, by investigating electron-electron and electron-phonon kinetics in graphene and nanotubes, the relaxation of hot carriers excited optically or injected by tunnelling and the kinetics of non-equilibrium phonons and heat exchange between graphene/nanotubes and substrate/contacts. This is an ambitious frontier research program, with a strong interdisciplinary nature, across physics, materials science, nanotechnology and electrical engineering. It will require the preparation, characterization, optimization of graphene and nanotube devices. In particular their characterization by Raman and pump-probe spectroscopy. The successful candidate will have a PhD in Physics, Material Science or Electrical Engineering. Preference will be given to candidates with proven expertise in time-resolved Raman spectroscopy, pump-probe spectroscopy.

Further details may be obtained from Prof. A. C. Ferrari. To apply complete form CHRIS /6 (cover sheet for C.V.s) available at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/ and email with your C.V. and covering letter to Prof A. C. Ferrari, Department of Engineering, 9 JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 OFA, (Tel +44 01223 748351, Fax +44 01223 748348, email (acf26@eng.cam.ac.uk) ). Due to the large number of applications expected, only short-listed candidates will be contacted.
