(EP-13) PhD Opportunity - Photonic Integration Job Description

The Photonics Centre at the Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork invites applicants who will join established teams within the Photonic Centre, will carry out research in purpose-built photonic and microelectronic systems research facilities at Tyndall National Institute and will be involved in collaboration with other groups in Tyndall and elsewhere. Training opportunities will be provided to acquire additional experimental, circuit design and numerical research skills as appropriate.

The scheme is cofounded by industry and IRC, and goes through an approval stage from IRC, which evaluates both the project, the industry partner and the quality of the candidate.
 
We are seeking highly self-motivated applicants with strong experimental attitude to apply for this position in collaboration with INTEL and Tyndall National Institute (formal application process to IRC starting October 2013 onwards).
 
The INTEL collaboration aims to solve one of the current bottlenecks for developing high speed on chip optical interconnection, i.e. a stable III-V high temperature laser and a scalable manufacturable process for silicon integration.
 
The successful applicant will be guided through the application process, and if successful will be working on the laser design, its epitaxial growth and cleanroom processing, acquiring important skills and working on cutting edge technology solutions.
 
These studies will provide an excellent base for a career both in academia and in the high-value industry.
