About this position

University of Warwick’s Department of Physics is advertising a funded PhD project on multidimensional ultrafast spectroscopy of vibrational coupling in perovskite semiconductors. The project is supervised by Prof James Lloyd-Hughes and is based in Coventry, United Kingdom.

The research explores how terahertz and infrared vibrational modes in metal halide perovskites interact with electrons and excitons, affecting mobility and optoelectronic performance. The PhD student will use multi-dimensional coherent spectroscopy, intense terahertz and mid-infrared pulses, and two-dimensional spectroscopy to study vibrational dynamics, cross-coupling, energy relaxation, and lattice/electron motion. The project also offers access to the Warwick Centre for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and additional characterisation tools such as UV-visible spectroscopy, Raman, FTIR, SEM, and TEM.

This opportunity is well suited to students interested in physics, materials science, ultrafast spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and perovskite semiconductors. The post highlights experimental work with ultrafast lasers and advanced optical components, and there may be opportunities to contribute to new ultrafast spectroscopy methods including ultrafast optical microscopy.

Funding is available for excellent candidates for 3.5 years at standard research council rates. The notes specify a full UK-standard annual tax-free stipend of £21,830 rising with inflation, plus fees, conference travel, and consumables. The page also notes that some UKRI awards are allocated to international students and refers applicants to Warwick PGR Scholarship Competitions for international funding scholarships.

Eligibility requires at least an upper second class BSc honours, MSci or MPhys, or equivalent in Physics or a related subject. Non-native English speakers need IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. Applications are accepted all year round, so interested candidates should check the Department of Physics postgraduate webpage for the current application process and contact route.
