PhD scholarship and Postdoctoral position in Fiber-optical microphones/accelerometers

A 3 year PhD scholarship and a 3 year Postdoctoral position are available at the Department of Photonics Engineering from September 1, 2008.

Both projects are mostly experimental in nature and involve the design and drawing of advanced microstructured polymer optical fibers (mPOFs) for the development of novel fiber-optical microphone and accelerometer systems. This is achieved through the writing of Bragg gratings into the fibers, which therefore must be optimized for this purpose. As part of the projects the candidates will participate in establishing a new experimental facility for grating writing at the Department of Photonics Engineering. The projects are part of a DKK 25 million project supported by the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation and involving major companies, such as Brüel & Kjær Sound & Vibration Measurements A/S, Ibsen Photonics A/S, and DPA Microphones A/S. The candidates will join the consortium as active members and therefore see their advanced mPOFs being used as key elements in the development of complete sound and vibration measurement systems in collaboration with the involved companies.

2 openings

PhD Scholarship: Candidates should have a master’s degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering. The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the successful candidates will be enrolled as PhD students at the Technical University of Denmark. Information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies is included in the general rules of DTU, which may be obtained by application to the PhD programme office at tel: +45 4525 1176 or +45 4525 1177 or from the homepage of DTU: www.dtu.dk. The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students.

Postdoc position: The postdoctoral candidate should preferably have experimental experience in Bragg grating writing using UV light and/or experience in the drawing of optical fibers. Candidates should have a master’s degree in engineering or a similar degree and academic qualifications equivalent to the PhD level. The salary and appointment terms for postdocs are negotiated in accordance with the current collective agreement for Danish University faculty members.

Applicable for both positions: For further information please contact Associate Professor Ole Bang, e-mail bang@com.dtu.dk.
