PhD Positions in Computer Science and Computer Engineering
The Clarity Centre is now seeking well-qualified, motivated PhD researchers who want to be part of a world-class research group in Sensor and Adaptive Information Technology.
About the Clarity Centre:
• The CLARITY CSET http://www.clarity-centre.com/ is a partnership between University College Dublin and Dublin City University, supported by research at the Tyndall National Institute (TNI) Cork. CLARITY is a collaboration between a number of specialist teams across the institutions who have already strong track records in sensor technology. It builds on work undertaken by the SFI-funded Adaptive Information Cluster, which is led by 7 principal investigators from UCD and DCU.
• The Clarity Centre is located in the School of Computer Science and Informatics, University College Dublin (UCD) in Dublin, Ireland. UCD has over 22,000 students including 2,500 international students from over 80 countries and is situated on a large modern campus 4 km to the south of the centre of Dublin.
• The Irish Government (SFI/Forfas) Baseline Study that ranked Irish research groups identified the School of Computer Science and Informatics at University College Dublin as the best Computer Science department in the country, having "a very strong impact internationally in their research."
• Title: Devices and Materials – Multiple Positions.
Description: In this program we focus on the synthesis and characterisation of new, adaptive (or stimuli-responsive) materials that can be reversibly switched between two states, each with dramatically different characteristics (colour, conductivity, permeability , porosity, chemical activity, physical dimensions, etc.; these materials will be used to create radically different sensing devices, that in turn will form the building blocks of futuristic sensor networks.
Supervisor: Prof Dermot Diamond – dermot.diamond at dcu.ie
Application Procedure:
Applicants for PhD Positions should have/expect to achieve at least a 2.1 in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline with a keen interest in research. Informal enquiries to the relevant supervisor.
All applicants should return a completed application form with referee reports and CV to the relevant supervisor; with the Title of the PhD in the ‘subject line’ e.g. Subject: <PhD in Devices and Materials>.
