Details of the Project
It has recently been recognised that the fabrication of a range of emerging photonic microdevices promising to revolutionise computer, communication, and sensing technologies must be performed with unprecedented picometre (one-hundredth of the atomic size) precision.
The successful candidate for this PhD position will be involved in the experimental and theoretical development of a new technology called Surface Nanoscale Axial Photonics (SNAP), which will enable this astonishing picometre fabrication precision.
Further aims of the project include:
Applicants are welcome to join the Nanoscale Photonics group of Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AiPT), one of the world's leading photonics research centres. AiPT cultivates an environment where academics, post-doctoral researchers and PhD students cooperate to overcome major scientific challenges in a welcoming and collegial atmosphere. Our successful track record of scientific achievements ranges from nanoscale and nonlinear photonics and fibre lasers to medical lasers and bio-sensing for healthcare and the high-speed optical communications technology that underpins the internet and the digital economy.
Person Specification
The successful applicant should have been awarded, or expect to achieve, a Masters degree in a relevant subject with a 60% or higher weighted average, and/or a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree (or an equivalent qualification from an overseas institution) in a relevant subject. Preferred skill requirements include:
We would particularly like to encourage applications from women seeking to progress their academic careers. Aston University is committed to the principles of the Athena SWAN Charter, recognised recently by a prestigious Silver Award to EPS, and we pride ourselves on our vibrant, friendly and supportive working environment and family atmosphere.
