Research Associate




Astro Physics

The University of Manchester - Engineering & Physical Sciences, Physics & Astronomy

Closing date : 05/12/2011
Reference : E&PS-00325 
Salary : £29,099 - £35,788
Employment type : Fixed Term
Duration: until 31/08/2013
Hours per week :35
Location :Oxford Road
Applications are invited for a Research Associate to work on the modelling of the optical properties of nitride based quantum well light emitting diodes (LEDs). These devices will form the heart of the next generation of lighting for every area of commercial and domestic lighting, saving up to 80% of total electricity. Before this promise can be fulfilled further understanding is required of the fundamental processes that determine and limit the efficiency of these LEDs.
You will join a collaborative program funded by EPSRC involving researchers from the Universities of Manchester, Cambridge, Bath and Strathclyde and will be expected to assist in the interpretation of experimental data on the optical properties of LEDs and quantum well structures. You should have previous experience of providing theoretical input or computational modelling into experimental programs and hold, or be about to obtain, a PhD or equivalent in Physics or a closely related field. You should have good communication skills, a demonstrable publication record and knowledge of computational techniques. Knowledge of and experience in semiconductor physics or devices is advantageous.
Informal enquiriesInformal enquiries can be made to Professor Philip Dawson

PhD scholarship hosted by the Institute of Biology, University of Southern Denmark


A PhD scholarship hosted by the Institute of Biology, University of Southern Denmark and Department of Bioscience, Freshwater Ecology, Aarhus University within the Centre for Lake Restoration (CLEAR) is open within the area: Ecological modelling of freshwater lakes with special emphasis on effects of lake restoration.

Study Subject : aquatic science with experience in modelling
Web Address: : http://www.jobs.sdu.dk/vis_stilling.php?id=6915&lang=eng
Provided By: : Institute of Biology, University of Southern Denmark and Department of Bioscience, Freshwater Ecology, Aarhus University
Level: : Master Degree

Research Information
This project will apply, and further develop, a state-of-the-art, open source, aquatic ecosystem model based on the Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models (FABM). Main focus will be on applying this model to untangle the effects of reduced nutrient loading, oxygenation and bio-manipulation of deep Lake Fure (max depth 37.5 m) in Denmark.

Eligibility
Available for International Citizens

Application Details
Applications must be forwarded by e-mail (in Adobe PDF format alternatively Word 2003 or newer format) to sciencejobs@sdu.dk.

Deadline : 15 December, 2011 at 12 noon
