Doctorate Programme at University of Lund in Heat Transfer, PEMFC 2011 in Sweden: Energy Sciences

/ February 16, 2011 Leave a Comment

The position concerns numerical investigation on transport phenomena and water-phase change(including electrochemical reactions) at various length scales for low temperature fuel cells (PEMFCs). The research tasks are focusing on application and further development of macroscopic calculation methods (CFD) including submodels for nano-/microscopic surface reactions in the catalyst layers.To be qualified for research education (PhD education) in Heat Transfer the candidate needs to have a Master of Science in Mechanical, Chemical or Applied Physics Engineering. In addition knowledge corresponding to the courses MMV012 Thermodynamics and Fluid Dynamics, MMV021 Fluid Mechanics, MMV031 Heat Transfer is required.
The assessment considers the following aspects in particular:
1. Documented knowledge and skills relevant to the research project and study results in particularly relevant courses.
2. Ability to work independently and to formulate and solve scientific problems. Such abilities can be demonstrated, for example, in a Master Thesis or in a discussion of scientific problems during a possible interview.
3. Skills in written and oral communication.
4. Other experience relevant to postgraduate studies, such as professional experience.

Two Full-Time PhD in Earth & Planetary Sciences, Australia: Earth & Planetary Sciences

/ February 16, 2011 Leave a Comment

Two full-time PhD Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarships (MQRES) are available in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences associated with successful ARC project DP110103284. Only one of these scholarships is available to a suitably qualified international student.
Recently, new work has discovered compelling evidence that amphibole plays a major role in magma processing at arcs, and therefore in the origin of the continental crust. It now appears that amphibole plays a major role in the differentiation of arc magmas and is therefore an important component of geochemical reservoirs in the mid-deep arc crust. This implication has very important consequences, such as determining the geochemical nature of the continental crust.
The students working on this project will carry out research at Macquarie University, but will have opportunities to interact with earth scientists involved in the project from the UK. The project uses a combined experimental, geochemical and petrological approach, but applicants are also invited to discuss their own research agendas. Funds will also be available for conferences and sample collection.
