... for Postdocs / Research assistants	FELLOWSHIPS: Our group has a succesful history in hosting/sponsoring prestigious fellowships for postdocs. These include amongst others: Royal Society University Fellowships STFC Postdoctoral and Advanced Fellowships Royal Society of Edinburgh Fellowships Fellowships of the Scottish University Physics Allience (SUPA) Marie Curie Fellowships RCUK fellowships Such fellowships are an excellent opportunity towards a permanent position in academia. If you are interested in applying with us for any of these (or any other scheme) we are more than happy to support you. Please just contact me and we can discuss ...
... for PhD-students	We offer a number of fully funded PhD studentships every year. These studentships are either funded by STFC, the European Union, the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA) or the University of Glasgow. Please contact me if you are interested in applying for any of these studentships ... AVAILABLE STUDENTSHIPS: Spring 2013: I have two PhD studentship available to work the ERC funded speedmeter project. This studentship includes 3.5 years of salary + covers all tuition fees for applications from within the European Union. Please contact me (stefan.hild@glasgow.ac.uk) for further information.
... for Master and Bachelor students	We offer a number of Master and Bachelor projects each year. Here are some examples of the results from previous projects: Poster: Modelling the Heat Loss of Buildings Report: Mitigating Power Fluctuations from Renewable Energy Sources Poster: Optical Design for a Speedmeter Proof-of-Principle Experiment CURRENTLY AVAILABLE PROJECTS: Realisation of a Sagnac Speedmeter to beat the Heisenberg Uncertainity Principle (pdf) Optical design and simulations for a novel interferometer that surpasses the Heisenberg Uncertainty Limit (pdf) Seismic noise characterisation, isolation and subtraction techniques (pdf) Ultra-thin fused silica fibres (pdf) Non-linear noise couplings in the data from the GEO600 gravitational wave observatory (pdf) Interferometry with nanostructured mirrors (pdf) I am also open to project ideas from enthusiastic students. So if you have any particular interests or any favourite topic, then please contact me with your idea and I am sure there is a non-neglicable chance that we can come up with an exciting project!
... for Summer students	I am happy to offer (and pay) summer student projects for any motivated and enthusiastic student. Potential topics range from laser interferometry for gravitational wave detection to renewable energy and smart grid applications. Please just contact me to discuss potential projects.
