PhD/EngD studentship at the University of Birmingham in the School of Metallurgy and Materials, working on irradiation damage resistant refractory high-entropy alloys for advanced modular reactors with UK National Nuclear Laboratory (UKNNL). The project sits within the Materials for eXtremes (M4X) research group and focuses on the design, fabrication, irradiation, and post-irradiation examination of high-entropy alloys for extreme nuclear environments. Research topics include alloy design by com...

The University of Warwick’s Semiconductor Research Group in the Department of Physics is recruiting a Research Fellow for an experimental project on semiconductor materials science , Si/SiGe heterostructures , and cryogenic electrical characterisation . The role supports a collaborative EPSRC–NSF project with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), USA, focused on ultralow-noise SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) for quantum technology and beyond. The research examines how ...
