Hi everyone, I am in second year of my PhD. My area is physical electronics where we build electromagnetic sensors, design and build necessary electronics to set up experiments to demonstrate signal acquisition from various situation. I am particularly in to nuclear magnetic signal acquisition using my sensors. I am an international student in UK. Can anyone tell me if there are employers who do graduate scheme for students with a PhD?Thanks guys.
Why would you want a grad scheme if you've got a PhD? Wouldn't you have been better going straight in as a grad?
Sounds fairly specialised but there are lots of opportunities in engineering still around here. Unfortunately I don't know who deals in nuclear magnetic signal acquisition - maybe try some of the defence companies like BAE?
Yes, that's true.I gave some detail of my specialisation because that's what people suggested earlier on. I know it is specialised but then most PhDs are specialised. aren't they? I asked about the grad scheme because I thought being with a bigger employer will give associated opportunities to develop new skills and add to knowledge by doing so. Since most PhD projects are specialised and getting something absolutely relevant is a bit of an ask, I think the point to emphasise here is the experience gained in generic research skills which certain employers might be interested in. When I describe my project, I talk about my research aim, in the course of achieving this, I go through skills that might be transferable which include analogue and digital circuit design, PCB construction, testing which involved handling various test equipments (scopes, spectrum and vector analyser, LCR meters etc). Does it put in context?
