Post Doctoral fellowships

Postdoctoral position in High Pressure Research

A post doc position in High Pressure Research is available for a period of two years. Depending upon other subsequent funding the position could lead to a permanent position in a centre for research in extreme environments, focusing on a matrix of high-pressure, high-field, low-temperature and high-temperature research into electronic materials.

Postdoctoral Fellowship in high quality research activity in zinc oxide based electrical devices.

With the experimental demonstration of a reproducible technique for high quality ZnO Schottky diode fabrication, it is now appropriate to pursue commercially viable device designs with a view not only towards manufacturability but also performance benchmarking.

Postdoctoral Fellowship in liquid phase synthesis of Si, Ge and Sn quantum dots for medical applications.

Post doctoral fellowship is available for the further development of the liquid phase synthesis of Si, Ge and Sn quantum dots [1-2]. The research will involve colloidal synthetic chemistry. The nanoparticles will be characterized using the transmission electron microscope facility and optical spectrometers housed within the MacDiarmid Institute of Advanced and Nanotechnology, School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington. The research is in collaboration with Prof Kenji Yamamoto in Tokyo who will investigate the toxicology of the nanocrystals.
