Vacancies

There are currently no funded positons available within my group. I will update this once there is a funded project.

I get a lot of emails from interested students about joining the group which is great. But in light of this, it is important for you to write emails that make you stand out to maximise your chances of success. 

In your email:

Keep the information relevant and specific - explain why are you interested in this project that we are advertising. Wanting to do a PhD in renewable energy is not enough, I want to know exactly what interests you in this particular project, this needs to be specific to the science we are aiming to do. This is the best way to make yourself stand out.

Avoid ChatGPT (or similar) - Generative AI tools can make your writing bland and very similar to many other applicants which means you do not stand out. I’d rather your English was less polished than I receive an email with lots of words but no substance.

There are currently no open positions for postdoctoral researchers. However, we are always delighted to hear from researchers who hold their own funding or would like to apply for a fellowship to be hosted in the group. Please contact Robbie to discuss this in detail.

We work closely with the New and Emerging Semiconductors Group in Sheffield Physics. I encourage you to look for open positions in their group as well.
