UK; Marie Curie Fellowship
An Early Stage Researcher is sought for this position which is funded by an EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) Rainbow in the Department of Physics. You should hold a BSc Hons in a Physical Science or Engineering Discipline and as per the grant conditions should have less than 4 years full-time research experience after first degree. You may register for a PhD.
The award of the ITN (RAINBOW) follows the growth in interest in InN and its alloys as novel materials for full spectrum optoelectronic device applications including LED’s and high efficiency solar cells. The project involves the growth of InN and In-rich InGaN alloys and the theoretical and experimental investigations of the structural, electronic and device properties of these materials.
The Strathclyde team combines a wide range of theoretical and experimental techniques to determine the physical and optical morphologies of optoelectronic materials and has a strong track record in the characterisation of nitrides, including InN and related alloys.
You will investigate correlations between structural, compositional, defect and luminescence properties of InN and In-rich InGaN Alloys using state of the art purpose grown samples from the network. There will be strong interaction with the sample growers and theoretical partners. EU eligibility criteria exists for this post and can be found by accessing the post using the link below.
