•experience, or interest in, conducting original qualitative research
•strong writing and oral presentation abilities
•ability to work to strict deadlines
•ability to communicate research findings efficiently to both academic and corporate audiences
•skills in workshop facilitation are desirable

Additional information about the job:
The PhD fellowship will be supervised by Professor Allison Littlejohn, Director of the Caledonian Academy and Dr Anoush Margaryan, Lecturer in Learning Technology at Glasgow Caledonian University (www.academy.gcal.ac.uk/people), along with two corporate supervisors.

Organization
Glasgow Caledonian University The Caledonian Academy
The Caledonian Academy is a flagship initiative of the Glasgow Caledonian University, focusing on Quality Enhancement. The Mission of the Academy is twofold: to lead the University in the development and implementation of new and innovative forms of learning and to extend its international reputation as a centre of first-rate, applied research in education.

The Academy will offer a unique contribution towards University’s Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy to 2010. To support this development a Development Director is required to take a major role in leading educational research initiatives both within and beyond the University.

Purpose of fellowship

The Caledonian Academy, in collaboration with the UK Energy Institute (EI) and Shell International BV, is offering a 3-year fellowship to carry out research leading to a PhD investigating and developing new approaches to enhancing learning from health and safety incidents in the industrial workplace. This PhD fellowship is funded by the EI and will be jointly supervised by Caledonian Academy, EI and Shell. The research will be conducted in 3 real-life testbeds in Shell, BP and ConocoPhillips. The fellowship offers a unique opportunity to work with three leading, global corporations as well as an internationally-renowned research team.

Research project

Learning from incidents is embedded in the culture of organisations. The premise of this study is that incidents will be reduced by embedding learners into a culture where continuous learning is promoted (a generative organisation). A strong mechanism to achieve a generative organisation can be found from social constructivism. Social constructivism stresses dialogue in learning, with this taking place via an active process of constructing meaning. By following a participatory Change Laboratory methodology, workers, in collaboration with the researcher, will develop a deep understanding of why incidents have occurred and how they can be prevented in the future. Applying deep learning into practice will help develop a safer workplace environment and create a generative organisation.

PhD position: Controlling plasmons with photonic crystals 2009/2010

PhD position: Controlling plasmons with photonic crystals
Amsterdam, 1009 DB, (Noord-Holland), 40 hours per week Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter

Job description
There is currently a fast-growing interest in ‘plasmonic’ systems, where light is confined with metallic nanostructures. Due to the strong interaction of the nanostructures and the light field, novel properties arise, called surface plasmons. These are vigorously pursued with the goal to realize ultimate-small optical integrated circuits, or highly sensitive sensors for medicine and biology.

While plasmons have many exciting optical properties, they have a propagation length (or lifetime) that is limited, notably by radiative losses. Therefore, we wish to control plasmonic properties by modifying the environment of the whole plasmonic system. To this end, we will place the plasmonic system inside a photonic crystal. Photonic crystals have a demonstrated ability to control radiative lifetimes of matter such as quantum dots and dye molecules, as pioneered by our group (Nature 430 (2004) 654; Phys. Rev. B 75 (2007) 115302). So, will you be the matchmaker between plasmonics and photonic crystals?
The PhD student will devise and perform optical experiments, and interpret results using modern theory. We also expect a PhD student to supervise undergraduate students in our group. Your research initiatives will be strongly appreciated. This research project is part of the FOM programme Plasmonics, in collaboration with several Dutch University teams.
The research is conducted in a group of enthusiastic young people and inspiring colleagues. We use state-of-the-art optical facilities including tuneable ultrafast lasers and advanced photonic materials.

Requirements
University Graduate
The successful candidate is an experimental scientist who holds a masters degree in physics or physical chemistry, preferably with experience in photonic crystals, nanophotonics or advanced optics. The successful candidate interacts easily with scientists from various disciplines and institutes.

Organization
Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter
The Photonic Bandgap Group (PBG) strives to perform world-class research on light propagation and spontaneous emission in photonic crystals. We combine advanced optical experiments with the development of photonic nanostructures and with a deep theoretical understanding of the properties of light. In 2004 we have pioneered experiments wherein both the direction and time of light emission are controlled, and we have been the first to optically switch photonic band gaps at ultrafast times, in 2007. Our curiosity-driven research is of interest to several industrial partners, and to applications in biophysics. Our group’s research is performed in the Center for Nanophotonics at the FOM Institute AMOLF in Amsterdam. We closely collaborate with the group Complex Photonic Systems at the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology, University of Twente.
