Research Vacancy details Job offers are removed after their expiry date. If you happen to find a vacancy closed before this date please let us know. Job posted by Uppsala University, The Angstrom Lab. (23/03/2007 13:46) Job Description Job 4-5 years Ph.D-student position in Engineering Science with specialisation in Electronics Research Framework Programme/ Marie Curie Actions No Job Reference Number UFV-PA 2007/628 Main Research Field Engineering Sub Research Field Microengineering Job Summary The Thin Films Group at Uppsala University is one of the leading research groups in the field of thin film electro-acoustics. The research activities cover a broad range of issues including synthesis and characterization of multifunctional thin films, design and fabrication of microwave electro-acoustic devices (resonators, filters, oscillators) as well as electro-acoustic based sensors (physical, chemical and biochemical) , theoretical modeling and simulation, etc. Job Description The PhD student will work on a project with a focus on the design, optimization, fabrication (work in a clean room) and characterization of microwave electro-acoustic resonators as well as their further integration into larger circuits and functional devices. Specifically, the group’s interests are directed towards the development of micro-acoustic components for use as physical, chemical and bio-chemical sensors as well as towards the development of IC compatible low noise oscillators in the lower GHz range. The group has a solid background in theoretical modeling, design and fabrication of a wide range of micro-acoustic devices utilizing bulk, surface and plate electro-acoustic waves. The Ph.D student will take part in all of the above activities with specific emphasis on the issues defined above.

Haneefah Posted April 22, 2007 Lots of amazing postdoctoral fellowships and funding opportunities. Though I'm not there yet, it gave great ideas for future funding Insha'Allah. I shall now focus on my masters first, for which some of the mentioned organizations actually provide funding, nice! Thanks sis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
