Would you like to be involved in research that could uncover the next generation of sustainable energy harvesting materials? We invite applications to study for a PhD with us in the School of Physics and Astronomy, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
In particular, we are keen to attract students who are interested in soft materials and organic electronics, but also skilled in programming environments such as Python. We would like to develop high throughput, automated methods to investigate thermoelectric materials. These novel materials can convert waste heat into clean energy, or act as solid state heat pumps for sustainable heating and cooling.
You would be part of the Soft Matter Physics Group and the Interdisciplinary Transport Lab, where you would apply cutting edge techniques and gain a wide range of training and mentoring. We have strong links with the School of Chemistry and the Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Chemistry, allowing you to be part of a wider network of enthusiastic researchers.
If this opportunity is of interest to you please contact me in the first instance at Michael.Weir@nottingham.ac.uk.
