Anglo Platinum Limited Bursary Scheme 2012, South Africa: Mining Engineering, Metallurgy, Chemical Engineering, Geology, Rock Engineering, Analytical Chemistry, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Mine Surveying,Finance/Accountancy.

The Anglo Platinum Limited Bursary Scheme is attractive in many respects – not only does it cover all of the financial needs of bursars, but it also provides medical cover and includes a computer allowance. And most importantly, it offers the prospect of a permanent position with the world leader in platinum – Anglo Platinum Limited. Entering the world of Anglo Platinum Limited opens the door to a career path in our operations across southern Africa, and also in the bigger, global Anglo American Group.
The minimum selection requirements are Grade 12 with 60% for both Mathematics and Science. Science is not required for Finance/Accountancy applications. If you have not received correspondence relating to this application from Anglo Platinum Limited by 31 July of the year of application, you can assume that your application has been unsuccessful.
Depending on the bursar’s chosen discipline of study and his or her academic ability, there are three possible study options open to them:
1-Tertiary study at a University – This includes components of practical training prior to, and during, tertiary study.
2-Tertiary study at a University of technology – This includes the component of experiential training as required by the university of technology for the National Diploma, National Higher Diploma or B.Tech degree.
3-Structured practical training programmes – These are supplemented by in-house and/or industry training courses.

Postgraduate Scholarship in Analytical Chemistry, Sweden

The doctoral project is about supercritical fluid extraction of lipids from microalgae, and the development of kinetic models describing desorption, diffusion and solvation of lipids in liquid and supercritical carbon dioxide. The research will be conducted in collaboration with researchers in chemical engineering, limnology and biotechnology, as well as within a multi-disciplinary collaboration about sustainable development. Analytical technologies that will be used within the project are mainly gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), with mass spectrpometry (MS/MS), evaporative light scattering (ELSD) and charged aerosol (Corona-CAD) detectors. Department duties, usually laboratory teaching, will be included of up to 20%.

Eligibility/Entry Requirements

Basic entry requirements for PhD studies are: a degree at advanced level, courses to an extent of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 at advanced level, or corresponding proficiencies aquired in Sweden or elsewhere.

Special requirements for this position: master degree in natural science, environmental science or engineering with good knowledges in analytical chemistry. It is a requirement to have conducted a degree project in analytical chemistry (or corresponding) of at least 15 ECTS. It is an advantage if you have previous experience from analytical chemistry work, preferably with different separation techniques and mass spectrometer.
