Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
A 3 year PhD studentship is available in the Department of Chemistry, University College London, which will commence in September 2017.
Advanced catalytic materials are widely explored in industry for a diverse range of applications. Whilst a considerable knowledge is gained using both surface science and bulk characterisation methods, in particular using Synchrotron Radiation techniques, bridging results together has previously been a challenge. To address this, the project will develop in situ methods to characterise catalysts using both X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and conduct in situ catalytic experiments in the pressure range from ca 10 mbar to atmospheric pressure.
You will :
Study catalytic phenomena using advanced spectroscopic techniques
Develop a broad range of experimental skills and experience to perform high-quality research at UCL, Johnson Matthey laboratories and at synchrotron facilities.
The project is sponsored by Johnson Matthey plc (a leading international speciality chemicals company) and University College London.
Funding Notes
Because of the nature of funding, only candidates who are ordinarily resident in the UK, are eligible for this studentship. The candidates should have, or expect to gain, a good honours degree (first or upper second) ideally including some experience in inorganic catalytic chemistry, surface science and bulk characterisation methods. Please direct applications and enquiries regarding this project to Prof Gopinathan Sankar ([Email Address Removed]) as soon as possible. The deadline for applications is 5th July, but the position will be filled as soon as an appropriate candidate is found.
