1. PhD Studentship in Futuristic Gas Sensors for Sustainability
Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of gas sensors and printable semiconductors to create a sustainable future? Join our dynamic Sustainable Optoelectronics Research Group, led by Prof. Vincenzo Pecunia, PhD Cantab FIMMM PEng SMIEEE, at the School of Sustainable Energy Engineering, Simon Fraser University (Canada). We are excited to announce a fully-funded PhD studentship focused on developing cutting-edge gas sensors with a sustainability edge.
In this exciting project, we aim to revolutionize gas sensor technology, harnessing the power of printable semiconductors to design self-powered gas sensors for various sustainability-driven applications.
While researching at the Sustainable Optoelectronics Research Group, you will pursue a PhD in Sustainable Energy Engineering. This program will equip them with the knowledge and skillset needed to tackle the sustainability challenges of our time.
Key Application Requirements:
- Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Sustainable Energy Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Science, Mechatronics Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Nanotechnology, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or cognate disciplines.
- Minimum 1 year of demonstrated research experience in gas sensor technology.
- Minimum 1 year of demonstrated research experience in optoelectronic devices based on printable semiconductors (e.g., organic semiconductors, carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, 2D semiconductors, and perovskites).
- Demonstrated academic excellence with a cumulative grade point average of 3.9/4.33 (or equivalent in other grading scales) in all prior degrees .
- Demonstrated excellent command of the English language.
- Compliance with all Simon Fraser University admission requirements for graduate studies.
Only applications meeting all key requirements above will be considered. If any requirement is not met, your application will not be considered for this opportunity.
How to Apply:
Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey in gas sensor and optoelectronic research for sustainability? Don't miss this opportunity! Send your CV, academic transcripts for both Bachelor's and Master's degrees, a cover letter outlining your research interests and research proposal on printable gas sensors, and contact details of three referees as one single PDF using the form at the bottom of this page.
Only applications submitted through the process specified above will be considered for this opportunity. Applications sent through other means, such as email or LinkedIn, or lacking any of the required materials will not be considered.
Deadline for Applications:
Until vacancy is filled.
We welcome and encourage applications from individuals belonging to underrepresented groups, as diversity is an essential component of our research environment and fosters creativity and innovation.
