You will combine methods of experimental psychology, functional neuroimaging (fMRI), psychopharmacology and patient research to investigate the role of dopamine and serotonin in cognition, emotion and behaviour, with the ultimate aim to understand the neurobiological basis of a wide range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Requirements

You have obtained a (preferably Master’s) degree related to Cognitive Neuroscience.

Conditions of employment

Contract type

Temporary

One year (we would prefer to prolong the contract by 2 years or more).

Organisation

Radboud University Nijmegen

Strategically located in Europe, Radboud University Nijmegen is one of the leading academic communities in the Netherlands. A place with a personal touch, where top-flight education and research take place on a beautiful green campus in modern buildings with state-of-art facilities.

PhD position : Study of dielectric charging in MicroElectroMechanical (MEMS) switches graduate studies scholarships

A PhD student is sought for a Science Foundation Ireland funded project in the area of dielectric charging for MicroElectroMechanical (MEMS) switches which operate in the radio-frequency domain. This position will commence October 1st 2010.

Microelectromechanical structures consist of micrometer scale mechanically moving parts which respond mechanically to an external stimulus. For instance, accelerometers respond to rapid deceleration by sending an electrical signal to open a car air-bag. A limiting problem for all microelectromechanical devices is the phenonema of dielectric charging whereby dielectrics become charged due to process conditions, electrical input or incident radiation. Commercial devices such as accelerometers limit the effect of dielectric charging by minimizing the presence of dielectrics in the structures. However, new technologies such as radio-frequency capacitance switches and varactors require dielectric media to function efficiently for mobile and aerospace applications. The focus of this project is to study the physics of dielectric charging and develop novel microelectromechanical structures based on this understanding.

The successful candidate will enrol in the microelectronics department at University College Cork and will be part of Tyndall s structured PhD program. A key aspect of the PhD program is training, which will entail attendance at postgraduate courses at UCC and travelling to specialist external courses as necessary. It is expected that the student will also work closely with the European Space Agency during this project.

Candidates with a primary degree in Physics, Materials Science or Engineering are invited to apply for this position. Excellent knowledge of solid state physics, demonstratable experimental skills and a desire to apply these talents to understanding the operation of novel microelectronic devices are required. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work in a new field of microelectronic research with applications in mobile and aerospace fields.

Further details can be obtained from Dr. Russell Duane (Russell.duane@tyndall.ie).

To apply for this position, please submit the Tyndall National Institute application form http://www.tyndall.ie/careers/howto.html and an up to date CV to Tyndall HR at careers@tyndall.ie,quoting reference number (Ref. No. RD – 03).
