PhD Studentship in Chemical Engineering: UCL 678 views

The Department of Chemical Engineering at University College London (UCL) is inviting applications for a PhD studentship in Environmentally Safe Operation of Pipelines via the Use of Surface-Active Compounds (Ref:1823410). The position is available in the Molecular and Engineering Thermodynamics group. The post-holder will collaborate with a leading company operating in the energy sector, as well as with prominent research groups within UCL, in North America, and elsewhere.

About the project:

• Understanding of classical thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, molecular simulations are desired, but not essential, as it will be developed during the project. The post-holder will have the opportunity of sharing results and ideas with several industrial partners.
• The post is fully funded (stipend and fees) for 4.0 years and is available as of February 2020.

Requirements:

• Candidate will have completed a first-class degree at the MEng or MSc level in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Sciences, Physics or related disciplines.
• Candidate must be a dedicated student, preferably with advanced understanding of thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and research methods.
• Willingness to perform independently, yet within a collaborative environment, within a world-class competitive and highly demanding environment is a must.
• Demonstrable prior knowledge of research methods and molecular simulations approaches are desirable, but not necessary requirements.
• Funds are available to cover EU/UK fees.
• Overseas students will be considered but might be required to cover the difference between Overseas and EU/UK fees.
