The Photonics Group in the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography of the Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada has immediate openings for graduate studies to carry out research on the theme of ultrafast nano-photonics and laser applications. The research will use tunable femtosecond lasers, scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM/NSOM), fiber-optic systems, mass spectrometer, and vacuum deposition systems to study interactions of ultrafast lasers with matters, fiber optics and sensing, organic photonics (polymer solar cells), and femtosecond laser mass spectrometry. The self-motivated candidates are expected to have sufficient background in physics, or electrical engineering, or material science. Knowledge on optics is needed. All applicants accepted into the graduate program in this research group receive full scholarships. Starting date will be September 2016 or later. Information on the research group can be found at http://www.mun.ca/physics/our_people/faculty/chen.php
Interested applicants should contact Dr. Qiying Chen (qiyingc@mun.ca) with a CV and a statement of research interests.
