The National Institute of Education invites suitable applications for the position of Research Assistant on a 9-month contract at the Natural Sciences and Science Education Department.
Project Title: Feasibility Study on Laser Induced Plasma-Guided Electrical Discharges
Project Introduction:
The aim of the project is to study and evaluate several types of conditions and design parameters of different plasma and laser devices that would allow: (1) generation of laser-induced plasma channel under atmospheric pressure, (2) propagation and maintaining of electrical stream/pulses on the plasma channel, (3) evaluate effects of laser-induced plasma with material interaction. Experimental and simulation studies will be caried out using various setups and software tools to determine the feasibility of generating these laser-induced plasma channel for applications requiring electrical discharge, electrical transport, and spectroscopy.
Requirements:
- BSc in Physics, Engineering Science, or Electrical Engineering.
- Preferably minimum 1 year working or research experience.
- Preferably with experience in experimental lab or computational applications.
- Preferable knowledge of Unix or Linux concepts, the Unix shell, and terminal commands to interact with Unix computer environments.
- Preferably possess or previously holds a NEA N3 laser license.
Responsibilities:
- Work on development of laser induced plasma channel and other plasma/laser setups.
- Assist in all aspects of experiments including carrying out experiments, data analysis, and experimental setup.
- Assist in all aspects of modelling/simulation work.
- Design of new parts and new apparatus.
- Help with aspects of project management and administration - prepare writeups, progress reports, risk/safety assessments, reports, and compilation of literature survey.
- Documentation and scientific reporting.
- Assist Principal Investigator in other tasks.
