Job abstractJV_description

A position as PhD Research Fellowship is available in the topic of plasmonically enhanced photocatalysis at the Department of Physics,.

No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo. If the successful candidate has a good knowledge of one Scandinavian language (Norwegian, Swedish, Danish), the fellowship will be for a period of 4 years, with 25 % compulsory work (teaching at the Department of Physics). Otherwise, the fellowship will be for a period of 3 years, with no compulsory work.

Starting date no later than 01.10.2019

More about the position

The position is part of the continuation of the strategic cross-disciplinary research program FOXHOUND. FOXHOUND merges key complementary competences within structural and materials chemistry, ionics and electrochemistry, semiconductor and structure physics.

The candidate will collaborate closely with a team of students and researchers focusing on synthesis and characterization of novel semiconductor nanostructures for plasmonically enhanced photocatalysis. This sub-project focuses on theoretical evaluation and modelling of the plasmonic activity of semiconductor/metal interfaces of different materials combinations and geometries. The project may in addition include some experimental characterization..
