Overview
A project jointly funded by the University of Strathclyde and National Manufacturing Institute Scotland. The project aims at researching a new sustainable femtosecond laser nanomanufacturing process to overcome the challenges of atomic sale precision, feature size and defects rates for quantum dots. In this project, molecular dynamics simulation study of light matter interaction, digital twin enabled process development and life cycle assessment will be researched.Eligibility
To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of 2:1 or equivalent in an appropriate discipline or have significant relevant experience in addition to a relevant degree.
We encourage applications from people from all backgrounds and from minority groups that are likely to be under-represented in our academic community. This includes, but is not limited to: Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities, women and people from low-income or immigrant backgrounds.
