Roskilde University Denmark Ph.D Scholarship Program 2018
Department of Science and Environment, Roskilde University invites applications for a position as Ph.D. student of Physics from September 1 or soon thereafter. The position is for a period of three years.
Description of the Ph.D. Project:
Funded by the VILLUM Foundation for the period 2017-2023, the Matter project is an integrated part of the Glass and Time center (www.glass.ruc.dk) at Roskilde University’s Department of Science and Environment. Glass and Time is characterized by strong collaboration between experiment, simulation, and theory. The purpose of Matter is to understand the fundamental governing principles of structure and dynamics of liquids and solids, in particular to investigate and further develop the isomorphic theory.
We are looking for a talented Ph.D. student for an experimental project within Matter. The student, who will be trained in experimental work in the Glass and Time center, will be supervised by Prof. Kristine Niss or Assoc. Prof. Tina Hecksher, and co-supervised by Prof. Jeppe Dyre (the director of Matter).
The focus of the experimental work in our group is on:
- Developing new specialized experimental techniques in close collaboration with engineers and our in-house high-level workshop.
- Mathematical modeling of the experimental methods and data.
- Close collaboration between experiment, simulation, and theory, catalyzed by weekly 2-hour joint group meetings.
The presently available experimental methods include broadband mechanical spectroscopy, dynamic specific heat, dielectric spectroscopy, scattering methods, and high-pressure measurements.
Qualifications:
The following qualifications are required
- Master’s degree in Physics or a related field
- Experience with experimental work
We are looking for an ambitious, curious and open-minded person. You are expected to possess good communication skills and to be a visible, involved participant in the department’s daily activities.
