PhD position ? NANOVATION ? Innovative industrial exploitation of nanotechnology,Denmark

An international research project is being established in collaboration between the Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (DTU Nanotech) and partners within industry as well as academia. The aim of the PhD position is to develop systematic methodologies for shape optimization of nanostructured surfaces, to characterize and compare different structuring approaches in terms of performance and industrial relevance, and finally explore the possibilities for application in collaboration with Danish companies.
Qualifications
The successful candidate, who must have a master’s degree and a good background in mathematical physics, is expected to work theoretically and numerically on optimizing the energy systems involved in the project. This involves in parti¬cu¬lar modelling of complex surface-fluid interfaces. The ideal can¬di¬date has a strong background in microfluidics theory and simulation, and knowledge of optimization theory will be preferable. As the project also involves experimental realisation and characterisation of nanostructured surfaces, some experience with experimental and/or fabrication work will be highly beneficial. Good communication skills and a wish to engage in a lively collaboration are also required, as frequent interaction with academic as well as industrial partners is anticipated.

Approval and Enrolment:
The PhD scholarship is subject to academic approval and the candidate will be enrol¬led in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the PhD studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.

Salary and appoint¬¬ment terms
The salary and appoint¬¬ment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD students at DTU. The position is available for a period of 3 years.

Application:
We must have your online application by June 1, 2010 at the latest. Please open the link “apply for this job online”, fill in the application form and attach all the following documents:

a) Curriculum vitae of the applicant including a list of publications
b) A letter motivating the application
c) Grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma
d) Conversion of grade averages to Danish grades

Interviews will be held in the period from June 1 to the August 15 of 2010. The position should start as soon as possible.

Candidates may apply prior to ob¬tai¬ning their master’s degree, but cannot begin before having received it.
