Vacancies
We are always willing to consider suitably qualified people as candidates for PhDs in the diamond group. If you have a first or upper second class degree in the areas of Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Physics, Materials, or even some branches of Engineering, and are interested in working in this field, please contact us. Funding could be available from grant awarding bodies, such as the EPSRC, and Departmental bursaries may also be available. There are also occasional vacancies for postdoctoral researchers, but these will be advertised below when they are available.
Current Vacancies
- There are no specific vacancies at present, however we obtain grants throughout the year so it's worth checking here regularly to see if any new positions have appeared.
- Also, the university has recently been awarded a Doctoral Training Centre in Functional Nanomaterials, which is very relevant to CVD diamond technology. Some diamond-themed projects leading to a PhD will be advertised on their website from summer 2009, so if you check out those you may find a project you like. These will be based partly in the diamond group here and partly in Physics.
- There are currently (July 2009) some DTA funds (unassigned departmental funds) available to fund PhD students in Physical Chemistry, including the CVD diamond lab. These are limited to UK/EU students, so if you are interested in any of the activities we are doing and might want to do a PhD in this area, please contact us.
