EXSS
The research mission of Experimental Solid State Physics - EXSS - is to carry out exemplary basic science and technology development in the key thematic areas defined by Imperial College and the Research Council research strategy namely: Energy and Efficient Energy Use; Security, Sensors and Nanomagnetism; Research at the Interface with Biomedical Sciences; Plastic Electronics and Optoelectronics.
The group has 18 academic staff, over thirty post doctoral research fellows, and fifty PhD students. Our group office has 4 shared administrative staff and three technicians in the mechanical workshop. In total we have over 100 members of staff, researchers and PhD students and we are one of the largest and most diverse research groups in the department. We also like to think ourselves one of the most welcoming. State of the art science, up to the minute facilities and a friendly dynamic environment - this is what EXSS is all about.

Postgraduate recruitment 2009
We are currently recruiting students for October 2010 entry to the M.Phil/Ph.D. degree programme across all our areas of Research (see below). Please contact Rebecca rebecca.smith@imperial.ac.uk (general enquries) or Prof. Stefan Maier s.maier@imperial.ac.uk.
You can find our application form and other general information from the college website http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/pgprospectus. Note that the Departmental Open day is 9th December 2009 and the group open day where we tour interested students round most of the labs, will be the 13th January 2010, this is also open to students interested in the Plastic Electronics DTC. We usually interview students on Wednesday afternoons either in person or if you live abroad, then by phone.
We are looking forward to meeting you.
MRes/PhD Plastic Electronics DTC
The Plastic Electronics DTC aims to train doctoral scientists in this exciting, fast moving and interdisciplinary field. Students will take a 12 month MRes in Plastic Electronics followed by a three year Phd project.
