Combined experimental and computational study of high-pressure order-disorder transitions in soft crystalline materials
A PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr Claire L. Hobday (School of Chemistry, The University of Edinburgh; [ http://www.chem.ed.ac.uk/staff/academic-staff/dr-claire-hobday ]. Read more
New Materials for Solid-State Batteries
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are widely used in mobile applications. However, concerns about the availability of lithium and cobalt raw materials suggest alternative materials may be needed in future large-scale applications. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - The shocking role of alkali feldspars in the death of the dinosaurs
Start date. October 2025. Aims. The impact of a ~12 km diameter asteroid sixty-six million years ago caused one of the most devastating mass extinctions in Earth history. Read more
Molecular resolution of biomolecular assembly by combining neutron scattering and coarse-grained simulation
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
This PhD project opportunity is part of an exciting new collaboration between the ISIS neutron and muon facility in Oxfordshire and the University of Leeds to develop new tools for understanding the multiscale structure and hydration of biomolecules. Read more
Barocaloric organic ionic plastic crystals and prototype development
A PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr Claire L. Hobday (School of Chemistry, The University of Edinburgh; ( http://www.chem.ed.ac.uk/staff/academic-staff/dr-claire-hobday ) in collaboration with Sunamp, UK (https://sunamp.com/#home/ ). Read more
Inspired by nature: sulfide minerals as sustainable and efficient thermoelectric materials
We have a vacancy for a PhD student to join a project at the forefront of research in thermoelectric materials, which can be used in devices for the direct conversion of waste heat into electrical power. Read more
Light in time-dependent metamaterials
Metamaterials have revolutionised the way we control light waves. Essentially, by engineering the diffraction of light on sub-wavelength scales, one can design new exotic materials and novel applications, for example flat lenses, invisibility cloaks and negative refraction. Read more
Develop Silicon-based Anode Materials for Next Generation Lithium-ion Batteries
This ARC Linkage project, a collaboration between UTS researchers and industry partner which aims to revolutionize lithium-ion battery technology by developing low-cost, high-performance silicon-based anode materials. Read more
Advanced crystal structure determination methods for pharmaceutical powders
A knowledge of the crystal structures of molecules of pharmaceutical relevance is extremely important in understanding their physical, chemical and biological properties. Read more
Unusual properties of New Inorganic Framework Materials
"We have a vacancy for a PhD student to synthesise and characterize new materials with open-framework structures, such metal phosphates, transition-metal cyanides or metal-organic compounds. Read more
