Lectureship in Graphene Technology

The recently funded EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Graphene Technology will be established in April 2014. We aim to build a world-class cohort of young scientists who can become the next generation of high-tech entrepreneurs and technology leaders and stimulate graphene engineering research and commercialisation across a variety of sectors.

We wish to appoint a Fixed-Term Lecturer in in the area of Science and Technology of Graphene, Related Layered Materials and Hybrid Systems. The successful candidate will have a proven record of scholarship and research in the strategic areas of interest for the Cambridge Graphene Centre and for the CDT in Graphene Technology: liquid phase exfoliation of graphene and related materials (GRMs), flexible and printable electronics based on GRMs, high frequency electronics based on GRMs, photonics and optoelectronics based on GRMs, electronic devices based on GRMs, composites based on GRMs.

The successful candidate will be assigned to Division B of the Department (Electrical Engineering). The role mainly concerns research and teaching. For the first two years' start-up period of the CDT, research activity is expected to account for 40% of the activities of the post-holder, whereas teaching and CDT (non-research) administration is expected to account for 60% of activity. After this start-up period, research activity is expected to account for 60% and teaching and administration for 40%.

For teaching, responsibilities will include contributing to undergraduate courses, supervising undergraduate projects, examining and supervising post-graduate students. This will include contributing to teaching within the CDT and the successful candidate will be expected to create and teach at least one CDT graduate level module. The successful candidate will have a proven track record of undergraduate and graduate teaching and will contribute to teaching within the Electronic and Photonic Materials and Devices areas throughout the four-year Engineering Tripos.

The successful candidate will take up the appointment on 1 April 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter and will be based in West Cambridge.

The interviewing panel will meet soon after the closing date in order to produce a short-list; references may be solicited. Short-listed candidates will be invited to visit the Department, give a short seminar/lecture and attend a formal interview.

Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Bill Milne (wim1@eng.cam.ac.uk) or to Professor Andrea Ferrari (acf26@eng.cam.ac.uk).
