Current openings
Postdoc position
We are looking for applicants for a PDRA position to work on thermoelectric properties of organic semiconductors. The post is funded by the Royal Society.
For more information click here.
PhD studentships
We would also like to advertise several funded PhD student positions for entry in October 2022. These are funded on the Advanced Grant by the European Research Council, which is focussed on understanding the thermoelectric physics of organic semiconductors and other functional materials. There is a number of different positions and we are looking for students interested in following areas:
- Experimental characterisation of the transport and thermoelectric physics
- Theoretical simulation of thermoelectric transport processes
- Organic synthesis of novel materials
Interested students should contact Henning by e-mail (hs220@cam.ac.uk) for further information.
Students
Please find information about applications to the Department of Physics for the MPhil or PhD programs including relevant deadlines. The primary sources of funding are as follows, although it is also worth exploring the EPSRC Doctoral Training Centres, the Winton Studentships, and other sources of funding outside the University.
Home Fee Status:
- Research Council Studentships (PhD only)
