Ph.D. position in solar cell, thin film technology

2009-08-12T00:01:00.001-07:00

Institute of Physics / Thin film group / Lab. Prof. Adrian, University of Mainz
Mainz, Germany

The Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz is one of Germany’s largest Universities with more than 30000 students. Mainz is located in the Rhein-Main-area close to Frankfurt airport.

The Physics department has branches in nuclear physics, atomic physics, and solid state physics. Close cooperations to Max-Planck Institues on the campus exist and enhance research possibilities

Description:

Solar cells are now a standard high tech product. However, current thin film solar cells use rare and expensive materials like indium. With decreasing manufacturing costs of the modules material prices will become more important. In our project we look for alternative materials for solar cells which will be relevant in future generation solar cells.

Within a joint cooperative project of several Universities and research institutes we will prepare at the University of Mainz new thin film materials and characterize the inner interfaces of solar cell structures by high energy photoemission using our synchrotron measurement facilities. The material we grow will serve as absorber material in p-i-n type solar cells.

The candidate should have a good knowledge on solid state physics and/or thin film technology. Social competence is needed for integration in a research team as well as for a llimited amount of teaching obligations at the University. Fluency in English is a must, knowledge of German will be helpful.

Start of the project will be in October 2009

Australia PhD Ocean Engineering Development

2009-08-11T22:59:00.001-07:00

PhD Scholarship in Ocean Engineering Development of a Global Ocean Database at Swinburne University of Technology (SUT)

BACKGROUND:
Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) is seeking a suitably qualified student to undertake post-graduate study to develop an altimeter database for ocean waves and apply it to investigation of extreme wave events.

About Swinburne University of Technology
Swinburne University of Technology is a large multi-sectoral and multi-campus institution with a stated mission to be a pre-eminent entrepreneurial university from the Asia-Pacific, thriving on new ideas and knowledge and exploiting its intersectoral heritage to create value for its stakeholders.

The Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences is host to most of the engineering activities at Swinburne as well as key programs in aviation and photonics. The Coastal Engineering and Physical Oceanography group of the Faculty specialises in research of deep-water and finite-depth wave dynamics, spectral modelling of wind-generated waves, wave breaking and dissipation, air-sea interaction, wave-bottom interaction and turbulence.

PROJECT ABSTRACT:
Over the past 20 years satellite-based radar altimeters have made measurements of ocean wave conditions. During this period of time a total of 7 different altimeter missions have been flown. The combined database represents the most comprehensive dataset ever developed of global wave conditions. This project involves developing a combined database from these separate missions and then applying this to the determination of extreme wave conditions at any location on the global oceans.

The resulting database has the potential to drastically change the way in which ocean wave design is undertaken.

SELECTION CRITERIA
Degree in Engineering, Computer Science or Mathematical Sciences (essential)
Strong analytical and mathematical skills (essential)
A good working knowledge of programming and databases (desirable)
Commencement Date:
March 2008 Scholarship: A$24,815 per annum, tax exempt. Duration – three years

Application deadline: 31 January 2008
