Applications are invited for a PhD position in photonics to join University of Southampton. The initial contract for this position is 5 years. Applications should be sent before September 30, 2019.

A fully funded PhD place on this project is available for UK applicants supported by an EPSRC CASE Studentship. The project will involve close collaboration with one of the world's leading manufacturers of high power visible solid-state lasers (Laser Quantum based in the UK). The studentship comes with an enhanced stipend (including an additional industrial bursary) of up to 21,000 (tax-free) and with fees paid. A visit to meet us is recommended and phone / Skype interviews are also possible if necessary. Please contact Prof. Andy Clarkson (email: wac@orc.soton.ac.uk) for further details.
The Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) PhD programme comprises a solid education for a research career. The first year involves attending our training programme running in parallel with carrying out your research project. This provides a smooth transition from your degree course towards the more open-ended research that takes place in the following years under the guidance of your project supervisors. We expect the vast majority of our students to present their work at international conferences and to write papers in leading academic journalsas their research progresses. Students will emerge from the PhD with skills at the forefront of future laser and nonlinear optics research.
The ORC is one of the world's leading research institutes in laser science and photonics. Its researchers have made pioneering advances in high power fibre lasers and solid-state lasers that currently have widespread industrial applications. A PhD here has enabled our past graduates to make successful careers in academia, in national laboratories, and as scientists or business leaders in industry.
Entry requirements: First or upper second-class degree or equivalent.
- Applications should be received no later than 30 September 2019 for standard admissions, but later applications may be considered depending on the funds remaining in place.
