Laboratory Technician – Physics / Physical Chemistry

Our client is a market leader in the development of light emitting polymers for use in thin film and screen technology. They are seeking a Technician to join their R&D team in Cambridge.

This will be a laboratory based role providing experimental support to R&D projects. In particular, work is focused on fabrication and detailed analysis of test structures to help in the understanding of fundamental processes governing performance of polymer OLED devices.

Main Responsibilities:

Careful preparation of thin film test structures for analysis.
Methodical analysis of test structures using a wide range of characterisation tools.
Clear presentation of results with appropriate emphasis on motivation and conclusion.
Accurate recording of all practical work to ensure new Intellectual Property is appropriately documented.
Communication with all team members to ensure results are communicated effectively and problem areas are highlighted early on.
Safe working and maintain a well-functioning laboratory.

Requirements:

Degree in an Applied Physical Science is a necessity. Experience in device physics would be an advantage.
Knowledge and practical experience in a range of analytical measurements (eg optical, electrical, materials characterisation).
An ability to learn new tools and techniques quickly and work independently with minimum supervision.
Able to accurately and methodically follow procedures for standard and non-standard measurements.
Familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office products, and in particular experience with plotting packages and writing simple macros (eg in Excel) will be advantageous.
Ability to highlight and distinguish between real results and experimental errors.

New Scientist Jobs

High School Physics and Environmental Science classes are small at our Christian International school in Taipei, Taiwan. Teachers will need to have experience sharing a Biblical World View in the classroom and a desire to share the Gospel of Christ to overseas students. Chapel speaking is optional. Excellent benefits and a wonderful environment; families are encouraged to travel together. The position begins soon, so contact Bonnie Chow quickly.

Introduction

A PhD student position in the area of illumination optics is available in the Elementary Processes in Gas discharges group at the Eindhoven University of Technology (the Netherlands) in close collaboration with Philips Lighting. This position will be one of the pioneering projects in the road towards a Technological Top Institute Lighting, a consortium in which TU/e, Philips Lighting, NXP, Cofely, Liandis, the Eindhoven Design Academy and other industries and institutes participate.

The latest developments of Solid State Light Sources and the manufacturing of optical components enable the application of freeform optics with complex surfaces in illumination systems. This allows for complex light distributions and considerable improvement of the systems energy efficiency.     

Design and simulation tools for illumination optical components are presently based on Monte Carlo ray tracing. This technique is powerful but not practical to design freeform optical systems.

The Monte Carlo technique suffers inherently from noise. As a consequence the optimization of the optical design is difficult and too time consuming. To improve on speed and accuracy new numerical techniques were developed.  However, these techniques can only be used on a limited number of design problems. An unsolved challenge for these techniques is for instance to take into account non-sequential ray paths through the optical system. In this project numerical algorithms and computer code will be developed to apply these concepts to more complex illumination problems. 

As an alternative to the numerical approach analytical techniques exist which solve the inverse problem for designing freeform lenses and reflectors for relatively simple design cases. However, these theories are still in their infancy and are generally not applicable to real light sources and complex optical systems. Therefore, these mathematical methods will be developed further to include for example finite size sources and multiple optical surfaces.   

In summary, the aim of the project is to develop new simulation techniques to improve the speed and accuracy of the optical system evaluations and enable the design of complex optical surfaces.

Tasks

The PhD student to be employed in this project will develop new algorithms and implement them into computer tools. These tools are to be validated against light technical measurements. The scientific results will be published in scientific journals and presented at international conferences. Furthermore, the candidate will work closely together with Philips Lighting and will perform a part of the work in the optics group of the LightLabs at Philips Lighting in Eindhoven.

I’m just thinking about university classes, and I discovered plasma physics. I’ve done a bit of research on it, but only enough to spark some interest. I would like to know what different jobs can be ascertained through a plasma physics degree.

Do you have to take IB physics for any form of engineering?
Or would Chemistry HL do?
And does one have to take chemistry to study medicine in the US?
I have to choose one of them, because my school doesn’t let me take both!
