Seven open nanotechnology PhD positions in various European locations |
|
(Nanowerk News) HERODOT is a European network that provides a training through research program for young researchers in the field of colloidal nanomaterials. It brings together a set of partners from European universities (Utrecht, Gent, Dortmund, Lille and Leuven), research centers (IEMN, IMEC) and industry (Philips and IBM). The research program concerns the development of quantum dot and quantum rod heterostructures with a focus on applications in photonics. This covers a wide range of nanotechnology research topics, such as:
|
|
Synthesis and processing of colloidal quantum dots and quantum rods.
Scanning probe microscopy (STM, EFM) of quantum dot heterostructures.
Optical characterization of colloidal nanomaterials.
Theory and modeling of colloidal nanostructures.
Use of colloidal quantum dots as light sources.
Use of colloidal quantum dots for optical signal handling.
|
|
HERODOT is presently recruiting 7 young scientists with a masters degree in chemistry, physics or engineering at the Early Stage Researcher (PhD) level.
