Scholarship Description:
NUS PhD Studentship Positions in Spintronics with Quantum Materials
The available PhD projects will center on the preparation and characterization of next-generation spintronics devices using two-dimensional quantum materials. These materials will be employed to develop energy-efficient information technologies by utilizing spin information carriers, moving beyond conventional electrons. The research includes advanced nanofabrication in state-of-the-art facilities, magneto-transport measurements using low-temperature cryostats, data analysis, result interpretation, and scientific publication.
Eligibility: Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Hold or expect a First Class degree or its international equivalent in materials science, physics, or closely related disciplines.
- Provide GRE scores of 320 (Verbal & Quantitative Total) and 3.5 (Analytical).
- Demonstrate English proficiency with TOEFL-IBT scores of 85 or IELTS scores of 6.0.
- Exhibit enthusiasm for research, independent thinking, strong analytical skills, and effective communication abilities.
- Previous experience in cleanroom processing, 2D heterostructure fabrication, programming, or low-temperature physics is desirable.
Required Documents: Interested candidates should submit the following documents:
- Cover letter
- CV
- Degree transcripts
How to Apply: To apply, please send your cover letter, CV, and degree transcripts to aaaysar(a)nus.edu.se. For more information about the projects and job description, you can contact Dr. Avsar through the following link: Dr. Avsar’s Profile.
Last Date: Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Early submission is encouraged to secure your opportunity for this prestigious NUS PhD Studentship in Spintronics with Quantum Materials. Exceptional candidates may also be considered for additional NUS PhD scholarships, including the Dean’s Graduate Fellowship and the President’s Graduate Fellowship.
