Studentships in Nanotechnology in New Zealand
The Nanostructure Engineering, Science and Technology (NEST) group based at the University of Canterbury, in Christchurch, New Zealand, invites applications from well qualified graduates in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry or a related subject, to carry out research towards a masters degree or PhD in nanotechnology.
The NEST group has recently been successful in securing significant research funding as a partner in the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology (www.macdiarmid.ac.nz), and therefore has a number of new scholarships to offer.
Overseas students are ordinarily expected to pay fees at the level of around NZ$20 000 per annum unless they are from countries with a fees agreement with New Zealand i.e. Germany, Australia, and France. We therefore particularly encourage applications from students from those countries. However, a small number of the 15 scholarships will cover the overseas student fees.
Graduate students are urgently needed to work on research projects in all the group's areas of interest. Information on these projects can be found at: http://www.elec.canterbury.ac.nz/research/nest/
Further information on specific projects can be obtained by contacting the project leaders indicated on the web site.
