ESA/NPL/Cambridge funded PhD studentship in the area of
applied electromagnetic metrology with a wide range of applications (eg. space exploration and technology, wireless communications, radio cosmology, etc).
The next generation radio cosmology instruments, the current and upcoming communication systems (e.g. 5G/6G), the rise of the Internet of Things and Energy Harvesting, as well as the future ultra-sensitive payloads for space exploration and space-based systems, all have something in common: the need to measure and characterise extremely low levels of electromagnetic emissions. Whether it is to be used in the optimal design of sensor networks in the presence of interference or in the calibration of highly sensitive payloads, the future of most wireless technologies relies on the use of very low levels of radiated power. In this project the student will join a growing team with experts from three key players in the field: the European Space Agency (www.esa.int), the Nati
The David and Bridget Jacob Internship Programme (NOW CLOSED: selection taking place)
The Cavendish Laboratory and the Institute of Astronomy recognise with deep gratitude the support of Mr David and Mrs Bridget Jacob and their establishment of The David and Bridget Jacob Internship Programme. The Programme will support one 4 - 10 week summer internship placement, alternating annually between Cavendish Astrophysics and the Institute of Astronomy. The student should be from a non-Oxbridge higher-education institution within the UK, and should be between their penultimate and final year of undergraduate study. In summer 2019, applications are sought for a placement within Cavendish Astrophysics.
We encourage applications for this placement in any of the following broad areas:
