About the Project

As part of the SINGLE ENTITY NANOELECTROCHEMISTRY (SENTINEL) H2020 Marie Skłodowska Curie European Training Network, applications are invited from highly qualified and motivated young researchers to work full time on projects under a PhD program hosted across European countries, with the further opportunity for secondments in top groups worldwide. These positions are exceptionally well-funded (salary, training, research and travel budget) and provide an opportunity to engage in exciting frontier research. This is one of two positions at the University of Warwick in the world-leading group of Prof. Patrick Unwin.

What is SENTINEL about?

Electrochemistry is the enabling science to address key problems of major societal relevance, spanning from electrocatalysis, in the context of energy conversion (e.g. fuel cells and solar cells) and energy storage (battery and water splitting technologies), to the development of advanced analytical tools for environmental monitoring and point-of-care medical diagnostics. The aim of SENTINEL is to join the leading teams from across Europe, with global partners in industry (SMEs and multinationals) and the academic sector in the USA and China so that together they can equip a next generation of scientists with the frontier skills and techniques in this critical area of science.

SENTINEL will complement its scientific training with innovative and world-class coaching techniques.
SENTINEL is distinct, new and ambitious.
