The NEST group has recently secured considerable research funding from the New Economy Research Fund. A number of studentships are available, covering tuition fees at the domestic rate and living expenses at a reasonable level.
More information is available on our projects web page .
Facilities available at the University of Canterbury include atomic force microscopy, reactive ion etching, electron beam lithography, thin film deposition, electron microscopy and diffraction, optical spectroscopy, cluster preparation and characterisation and many other key technologies. The group has strong collaborative links with many overseas institutions, providing access to some of the most well equipped laboratories in the world. Successful applicants will therefore be likely to travel overseas in the course of their studies.
