Cardiff, Cardiff, United Kingdom Venture Graduates Full time

At Venture Graduates, we offer a unique opportunity to pursue a PhD in Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing with a fully funded studentship. As a researcher in this field, you will contribute to the development of innovative technologies that drive economic growth through partnership between industry and universities.

About the Role

This is a four-year PhD programme where you will undertake taught modules in the first year at Cardiff University, developing your expertise in Compound Semiconductor technology. You can choose modules from either an MSc programme in Compound Semiconductor Physics or an MSc in Compound Semiconductor Electronics, depending on your background or interests.

After completing your taught modules, you will progress to three years of supervised PhD research. You can undertake your research at Cardiff University or one of our partner universities at Manchester, Sheffield, or UCL, all of which have an outstanding track record in CS-related research.

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing has been designed to complement the aims of the world's first Compound Semiconductor Cluster established in the UK. It has so far attracted over £500m in public and private funding.

As a researcher in this programme, you will have the opportunity to work with leading academics and researchers, using state-of-the-art facilities. You will also have the chance to collaborate with industrial partners, applying the latest innovative research to real-world problems.

We estimate the salary for this role to be around £25,000-£30,000 per annum, depending on your experience and qualifications.
