Job Details
This PhD project, sponsored by the British multinational advanced technology company QinetiQ (www.qinetiq.com) under the Dstl Materials for Strategic Advantage (MSA) programme, will investigate magneto-optic effects in planar metamaterials, looking at ways in which new materials and nanostructures can provide novel and/or metamaterial-enhanced functionalities such as components transmitting light only in one direction and optical switches controlled by magnetic field.
We seek candidates with a knowledge of physics or materials science, an interest in photonic technologies, and a desire to develop advanced skills in materials discovery and characterization, computational electromagnetic modelling, nanofabrication, and experimental photonics. The student will join a strong international group of students, postdoctoral and academic staff working together on many aspects of cutting-edge nanophotonics research.
To discuss any details of the project informally, or to arrange a visit to meet us and see our facilities, please contact Kevin MacDonald (kfm@orc.soton.ac.uk) or Nikolay Zheludev (niz@orc.soton.ac.uk).
The ORC PhD programme: www.orc.soton.ac.uk/postgraduate-phd
The ORC is a world-leading photonics research organisation of around 200 research staff and students, famous for the development of novel photonic technologies underpinned by cutting-edge research in materials. The ORC PhD programme offers a solid start to any career in optics and photonics, whether you are planning to stay in academia or work in industry.
Eligibility:
Applicants must be a UK or EU nationals (dual nationals may be considered)
Funding:
Full tuition and an enhanced tax-free stipend of £18,000 per annum for up to 3.5 years.
