March 15, 2008
PhD studentship - Development of zinc oxide nanorods for all-inorganic nanostructured solar cells
Supported by an EPSRC Doctoral Training Account (DTA), a bursary of up to £17,000 p.a. for 3 years plus fees available. Conditions apply*
Over the past four years Cranfield University has been working on the development of a new architecture for LED devices. This has resulted in a series of invited talks, published papers and the developing of patentable technology. Following on from this, the group is now diversifying into Photovoltaic devices, using an in-situ nano-growth-mechanism.
Cranfield now has a vacancy for a high quality candidate to undertake a PhD research project in this area. The project will develop nanostructures, which will then be used to build all-inorganic solar cells. There is the possibility of exchange visits to other laboratories for periods during the course of the PhD.
The successful candidate will work in collaboration with Cranfield University’s Nanotechnology Centre, which undertakes leading research spanning from the development of new functional materials through to prototyping of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices. The Centre’s work is truly multidisciplinary and encompasses such diverse fields as microengineering, nanotechnology, biology, materials science, physics and chemistry. You will have access to ’state-of-the-art’ hardware and software, be part of a growing team that seeks to address industrial problems while maintaining a strong ’science and technology’ base.
Entry requirements
Applicants should have a First or Second Class UK Honours degree, or equivalent in a physical sciences or related discipline and a desire to work in a strong multidisciplinary environment.

I am from Moldova, but at the moment I am enrolled in a PhD programme at Charles University from Prague. At the same time I was already accepted to a master course in space science and technology at Cranfield University from UK and I want very much to attend this course. Please tell me where to apply for a scholarship. I have contacted Chevening Scholarship, British Council and no one can help. Please tell me about other scholarships possibilities in UK for non-EU students. Thank you!
