About this position
We offer 18 positions with very competitive salaries in Italy (46.94 k€/year), Germany (47.31 k€/year), France (54.69 k€/year), Spain (44.45 k€/year), Switzerland (61.73 k€/year), Belgium (48.0 k€/year), and Czech Republic (39.47 k€/year). The HINA consortium will also address the key doctoral training elements of academic and transferrable skills provision by establishing exciting and attractive academic and transferrable skills modules. In the different Area of Knowledge of the HINA programme, a specific programme of specialisation, tailored on the needs of the chosen research field available at the different partner places, will be proposed to the PhD students and specified in their Personal Career Development Plan.
We will ensure co-ordinated provision of these key doctoral training elements that can best leverage on the international capabilities of the consortium, on its unique and complementary skills base reflecting both national and regional strengths and, on the on-going developments of new curriculum in the fields of materials, modelling, devices and systems for new telecommunication, computing, sensing (IoT & IoH) technologies. The academic skill provision will build from the assumption that all the centre skills education programmes will be modular, with specific credit modules and available across the partner centre sites using both traditional (lecture, seminar, summer school, workshop) and now widely developed web-based delivery by most of HINA academic partners and world leading universities. A key topic for 21st century engineers will be technology management including topics such as technology innovation and intellectual asset management.
The opportunity for the DCs to explore and acquire these multidisciplinary skills within the international context of HINA will uniquely position them for the future. The rapid race of engineering research and the steady integration of engineered technology in our infrastructure and life, calls for more involvement from engineers, scientists, and technologists in the setting of public policy and in participation in the civic arena.
18 PhDs (doctoralm candidates -DCs) will start from November 2024, the starting date can be delayed until the end of October 2025.
DC3 (Starting as soon as possible): Testing and optimization of evaporation of novel metal-organic precursors in liquid delivery CVD
At Annealsys (doctoral school UMLP)
Montpellier, France, https://www.annealsys.com & www.ubfc.fr
Supervisors: J. M. Decams, V. Astié, A. Bartasyte (UBFC)
Objectives: (i) Preliminary transport tests of precursors selected according to their physico-chemical characteristics to define the transport efficiency of these molecules and their compatibility with the DLI -CVD system developed, (ii) particular effort will be given to avoid the condensation or volume decomposition of precursors, which could induce the particle formation and also serve as an additional source of K, Na during following processes introducing drift in growing layer composition; (iii) standard evaporation conditions, enabling homogeneous and controlled K/Na and Nb/Ta vapor supply will be optimized; (iv) development of RTP for the sol-gel films synthesized by DC1-2 in order to induce the controlled textured/epitaxial crystallization or to prevent interactions with substrates.
