PhD studentships in Ireland.
Science Foundation Ireland has recently made a major award of a Strategic Research Cluster (SRC) Grant to a group of researchers based at the Tyndall National Institute and University College Cork, Dublin City University and Queen s University Belfast together with industrial partners Intel Ireland and Seagate Technologies. This SRC is entitled FORME - for Functional Oxides and Related Materials for Electronics.
The specific aims of this Cluster are to study a range of processes associated with the development of next-generation CMOS devices and also to work towards device architectures that go far beyond CMOS technology. The team concerned represents a mixture of Materials Chemists, Physicists and industrial partners with activities spanning materials synthesis and characterisation, advanced thin layer growth, surface science studies and the optical, electrical and magnetic characterisation of a wide range of oxides and related materials.
Following this award the FORME SRC wishes to announce a major postgraduate student recruitment opportunity, through which up to 14 postgraduate students will be appointed across partner laboratories in Cork and Dublin.
Applications are encouraged from suitably qualified individuals possessing a first class or upper second class Honours degrees (or equivalent), in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Electrical/Electron ic Engineering or closely related disciplines. Applications are restricted to students from within the European Union. The specific projects/supervisor s and institutions concerned are listed below.
