Active plasmonics: plasmonic sources and detectors

Applications are invited for 2 full-time PhD studentships in the Nano-optics and Near-field Spectroscopy Group (http://www.nano-optics.org.uk) at the Queen’s University of Belfast to work on the projects within the UK Research Programme “Active Plasmonics” (http://www.activeplasmonics.org). The projects involve fabrication and optical characterisation of advanced plasmonic nanostructures and plasmonic circuits. In addition to exciting science, the project will require travelling to collaborating laboratories at Imperial College London and interactions with industrial partners. The studentships are for 4 years and cover tuition fees and a stipend. The studentships are available immidiately but no later than October 2010. Applications should be made on-line by visiting link https://qolps.qub.ac.uk/home/ and quoting the project title “Active Plasmonics”.
