The Opportunity 

PRIME Lab currently has an opening for a highly motivated Ph.D. candidate. This project is based of development of next-generation, non-metallic electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. The project will mainly facuses on the theoretical design and use computational simulation tools for the design.

The Project 

The successful candidate will take ownership of an actively developing research track. Building upon our lab’s highly promising preliminary data regarding core-shell nanostructures, your research will focus on:

• Electronic Modelling: Simulating and analysing the electronic properties and interfacial interactions of complex polymer composites.

• Structural Development: Designing highly efficient, absorption-dominated EMI shielding polymer architectures.

• Surface Engineering: Utilising simulation-based approaches to optimise surface patterning for maximum electromagnetic attenuation.

Who Should Apply? 

We are looking for a driven researcher who wants to bridge the gap between theoretical physics and applied materials engineering.

• Required Background: A recent M.Sc. in Physics, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, or a closely related field.

• Desired Skills: A strong foundation in solid-state physics and computational modelling/simulation. Previous experience with classical/quantum molecular dynamics or finite element analysis (FEA) is an advantage, but a strong willingness to learn is paramount.

Why Join PRIME Lab? 

You will join a dynamic, structurally driven lab that values rigorous, mechanism-based science. You will gain high-level expertise in computational materials design while working on solutions directly applicable to modern electronics and aerospace technologies.
