PhD scholarship: Nano-patterning of 2D materials 910 views

Technical University of Denmark (DTU Chemistry) is inviting applications for a PhD scholarship in Nanostructured 2D materials. The materials have fascinating electronic and optical properties. Directed self-assembly is an attractive option for making the 2D nanostructuring process scalable.

About the project:

• This PhD project is aimed at developing the experimental tools for 2D structuring at the finest scales and will be part of the strongly collaborative and cross-disciplinary research activity at the Center of Excellence for Nanostructured Graphene, CNG.
• The Danish National Research Foundation funds the CNG, which supports the present project with many other experimental activities and theoretical efforts on predicting the properties of such materials.
• The PhD research project will bind together two important areas; on the one side the synthesis activity of tailor-made block copolymers and on the other side their use as nanolithographic masks for scalable nanostructuring of 2D materials.
• The required structural parameters for the 2D materials will be decided in collaboration with other researchers at CNG.

Qualifications:

• Candidates should have a two-year master’s degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master’s degree. An MSc degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Solid-State Physics or Materials Science or and education with similar content.
• Strong communication skills in English
• Willingness to engage in a multi-national team

Application:

Submit application online as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration:

• A letter motivating the application (cover letter)
• CV
• Grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma
• Excel sheet with translation of grades to the Danish grading system
