Dear Colleagues,
The Departments of Physics and Chemistry at the University of Warwick, UK, are seeking to appoint two talented and motivated postgraduate students in the area of the ultrafast spectroscopy of advanced materials. Two fully-funded, 3.5 year, PhD studentship are offered under the EPSRC CASE scheme, in partnership with Spectra-Physics, a major international laser company. The projects will make use of a new state-of-the-art laser facility at Warwick that provides ultrashort pulses of terahertz, infrared, visible and UV light. This will enable investigations into areas such as quantum materials (functional oxides, magnetoelectrics, defect complexes), lasers and medicine (fluorescent nanoparticles for drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, photostability of molecular building blocks) and semiconductor nanomaterials (charge transport in electronic and photocatalytic materials). The details of the projects will be tailored to the skills and interests of the PhD students, as well as the opportunities that will arise from the new laser facility. The projects are a fantastic opportunity for two highly motivated students, with an interest in applying cutting edge experimental capabilities, to understand structure-dynamics-function relationships in photophysical or photochemical systems.
Enquires and informal applications should include a C.V and be made as soon as possible to Dr James Lloyd-Hughes ([log in to unmask]) and Dr Vasilios Stavros ([log in to unmask]).
For details of how to apply formally see: http://www.go.warwick.ac.uk/pgapply.
Further information about the Lloyd-Hughes and Stavros groups can be found at:

Funding Notes:
Two full 3.5 year studentships for UK or EU students (fees and maintenance) are available. Candidates should hold or expect to hold a 1st (or high 2.1) in Physics, Chemistry or related subject area.
