Melbourne-Bayreuth joint PhD opportunity
The Universities of Melbourne and Bayreuth have created a new, joint PhD program. Candidates from each University spend a minimum of 12 months at the partner University and submit a PhD thesis at each location. Candidates need to be Australian residents and have an undergraduate mark equivalent to those required for an APA.
The Melbourne University node of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science is pleased to be part of the Melbourne-Bayreuth joint PhD program. The program is currently offering the following 5 joint PhD scholarships to be commenced in early 2020:
PhD Scholarship in Exciton Logic Gates
The University of Melbourne
Closes: 31 October 2019
Prof Paul Mulvaney is seeking an Australian graduate researcher to work on this project as part of a joint PhD with the University of Bayreuth. The successful candidate will have an interest in laser spectroscopy /single molecule spectroscopy and/or nanomaterials synthesis and they will spend a minimum of 12 months at Bayreuth, Institute of Physics. Knowledge of German is not essential but useful.

PhD Scholarship in Morphology Manipulation for Increased Singlet Fission Yields
Closes: 31 October 2019
We are looking for a suitably qualified graduate researcher to work on a jointly funded PhD project between the University of Melbourne and the University of Bayreuth on Singlet Fission Materials. The goal is to improve the efficiency of solar cells by effectively harnessing polymeric singlet fission materials. The successful candidate will spend a minimum of 12 months at Bayreuth, Institute of Physics. Knowledge of German is not essential but useful. Candidates with an interest in X- ray spectroscopy/ laser spectroscopy and/or polymer synthesis are sought.
PhD Scholarship in Synthesis and Manipulation of Semiconducting Block Copolymers for Organic Photovoltaic active Layers
Closes 31 October 2019
We are looking for a suitably qualified graduate researcher to work on a jointly funded PhD project between the University of Melbourne and the Universität Bayreuth on the induction of block copolymer self-assembly for high performance organic photovoltaic devices and the characterisation thereof. The successful candidate will spend a minimum of 12 months at Bayreuth, Institute of Physics. Knowledge of German is not essential but useful. Candidates with an interest in X-ray spectroscopy/ laser spectroscopy and/or polymer synthesis are sought.
