Job Vacancies for the Condensed matter physics
Current vacancies available
Application Deadline Order: Ascending - Descending
Research Technician (Condensed Matter)
Applications are invited for the position of Research Technician in Hybrid Solar Cells. This position is available for a fixed-term until 01 November 2016.
This project is funded through the European Research Council and is entitled, "Hybrid Photovoltaic Energy Relays" and will develop hybrid solar cells composed of composites of semiconductor quantum dots and/or extremely thin absorber layers, with semiconducting polymers.
The work will involve colloidal synthesis, thin film and device electrode preparation and general assistance to other group members in the preparation of materials and devices. Other tasks such as basic maintenance and upkeep of daily running of wet lab equipment will be expected.
Applicants should possess Skills equivalent to those derived from a degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or a related field. Previous experience in colloidal synthesis is essential.
Candidates are expected to demonstrate good interpersonal skills and work well in a team environment, as part of a group.
Please direct informal enquiries about this post to Henry Snaith (h.snaith1@physics.ox.ac.uk, cc'ing c.moloney1@physics.ox.ac.uk).

Only applications received before midday 15 February 2012 can be considered.
You will be required to upload a supporting statement and details of two referees as part of your online application.
Please also look at the Further Particulars.
Application Deadline: 15 February 2012
Post Doctoral Research Assistant (Condensed Matter)
Applications are invited for an EPSRC-funded Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in the group of Prof. Andrew Boothroyd. The post is available for 30 months in the first instance with a possibility of a 6 month extension.
The aim of the project is to investigate how the formation of superstructures in correlated electron systems influences their physical properties. The research, which is collaborative between the Universities of Oxford and London (Royal Holloway College), will exploit new developments in neutron and X-ray scattering instrumentation at international facilities to study magnetic and structural correlations using high quality single crystals. Laboratory-based measurement techniques will also be employed in the work.
The person appointed will be expected to play a leading role in the experimental programme, and be able to work effectively with other members of the group. A strong emphasis will be placed on data analysis and on the interpretation of experimental results within current theoretical frameworks.
Applicants should possess, or be very close to obtaining, a doctorate in a field related to the research area. Previous experience with neutron scattering and/or correlated electron systems would be an advantage, but motivation and initiative will be equally important.
