Science jobs from Imperial College London: job description
PhD Project Studentships- Physics
Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) of Porous Solids
Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London
We are looking for a physics graduate who would be interested in entering the world of chemical engineering by joining our Surfaces and Particle Engineering Laboratory! We wish to recruit a PhD student to use a new PALS instrument for studying the nanoporosity of complex polymer films. A key objective of the project will be the development of new PALS methods, as well as using PALS as a technique to obtain an improved understanding of nano-porosity and its measurement in complex polymer films. The project would suit a hand on experimental focused physicist keen to work with state of the art instrumentation applied to real world engineering problems.
Funding will be for 3.5 years with a tax free bursary of between £16k-£17k per annum and is available for UK or European students resident in the UK. Applicants should have a 1st class or 2:1 degree in physics or a related discipline to be eligible for this position. We also imagine a range of international collaborations linked to this position- so an interest in international travel is also desirable.
Enquiries and applications (c.v. and contact details of 2 referees) should be sent to: Dr. D.R. Williams, Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London, South Kensington, SW7 2AZ, UK. Email d.r.williams@imperial.ac.uk.
