[UK] Dorothy Hodgkin PhD Studentship at Newcastle University
Dorothy Hodgkin PhD Studentship
Use of Thermo-electric Generators in Hostile Environments
School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering
Reference Code: EE008
Closing Date: 31st August 2009
Supervisors:
Dr Alton Horsfall and
Professor Nick Wright
School: School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering
Sponsor: Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards Scheme (DHPA)
Duration: 3 years
The funding for this project has been made possible through a Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award in Resilient Technology.
The project will investigate the use of thermo electric generators in hostile environments, such as those experienced by space probes to the inner solar system. Recent developments suggest that efficiencies close to the theoretical Carnot limit may be possible, but this has not been achieved, with reports in the literature around 10%. The project will investigate the use of a variety of methods including thermogenerators and thermo-tunneling devices and how these perform in regions of high and low temperatures and under simulated solar flares.
This project is due to start in September 2009.
Eligibility and Value of the Award
In line with the DHPA scheme you must be a national from one of the eligible countries listed on the OECD webpage
. For more information on eligibility, please also see the Research Council UK`s website
.
The award covers tuition fees and maintenance of approximately £13,290 per year.
Person Specification
You must have, or expect to achieve, a first-class Honours degree (or equivalent) in electronic engineering or physics.
How to Apply
You should complete the University`s online postgraduate application form , quoting the code EE008 and selecting `PhD School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering - Electrical and Electronic Engineering` . A CV including contact details of two referees and a personal statement stating why you are suitable for this studentship should be attached to the application form.
You should also send a copy of your CV and personal statement, quoting the code EE008, to Mrs Gill Webber, gill.webber@ncl.ac.uk, (School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, Merz Court, Newcastle University, Newcastle, NE1 7RU).

PhD Positions in Nonlinear Nanoplasmonics, Canada
Two Ph.D. positions in nonlinear nanoplasmonics
Based in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Dalhousie University, Canada. Research in the interdisciplinary fields of nonlinear nanophotonics, nanoplasmonics and biophotonics.
The successful applicants will be involved in experimental study of linear and nonlinear optical properties of metal nanostructures using near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM), optimization of composition/structure for enhancing optical nonlinearities, metal surface functionalization for developing biomedical interfaces for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, ultrafast optical measurements with fs lasers, and theoretical modeling of linear and nonlinear properties of metal nanostructures.
The potential candidates are expected to have a solid background in optics, photonics, and nanotechnology; excellent experimental skills and willingness to pursue numerical modeling are required, some aptitude for theoretical analysis is a plus.
The work will require a close cross-departmental (electrical engineering, physics, chemistry, biology) as well as inter-institutional collaboration. Personal skills: we seek highly motivated, well-organized and creative individuals, capable of working under minimal supervision whenever required. A very competitive scholarship is offered.
