Funded PhD Studentship: Chemistry (Nanoscale Ptychography) 832 views

The School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton invites applications for a funded PhD studentship in Combining nanoscale ptychography and multiscale imaging for probing the nature of active sites in multifunctional hierarchical catalysts.

About the project:

• The applicant will join a vibrant and well-established research group of Professor Robert Raja at the University of Southampton
• Candidate must be interested in the discovery and design of novel catalytic materials that address fundamental challenges in the chemical, environmental and energy landscape.
• The project is aimed at designing hierarchically porous catalytic architectures, which will serve as supports for the deposition and growth of multimetallic nanoparticles.
• Professor is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated postgraduate applicant who will contribute to this multidisciplinary research proposal, aimed at creating an atomic-scale design platform for the predictive fabrication and rational design of advanced nanoparticle catalysts.
• The project is funded for 3.5 years

Requirements:

• Applications are open to applicants from the UK and EU who have or expect to obtain at least an upper second-class (2:1) degree in Chemistry or allied subjects/relevant disciplines.
• Funding will cover fees and an enhanced stipend.
• Due to funding restrictions this position is only open to UK/EU applicants.
