Clean energy with emphasis on solar energy, has been identified as a key growth area for Singapore. With the growing global expansion of the clean energy industry, Singapore is well-placed to take the lead in this industry as an R&D base and as a provider of clean energy technologies and solutions.
To expand clean energy R&D and grow the industry, there is a need to increase the clean energy manpower base in Singapore. Graduate scholarships is one of the strategies of the clean energy Programme Office (CEPO) to generate specialist manpower for the clean energy sector. This specialist manpower will build up local research capabilities and provide a source of research leaders in key CEPO areas.

The NRF (Clean Energy) PhD Scholarships offer support for up to four years of academic pursuit, leading to a PhD in related disciplines such as Electrical Engineering, Materials Science or Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Science or Engineering, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. All research topics should be in the following areas related to Clean Energy, with focus on solar:

* Solar
* Wind
* Fuel cells
* Energy efficiency in green buildings
* Storage
* Smart grid technology
* Carbon capture & utilisation
* Other renewable energies

Scholarship Application Deadline: for the Academic Year starting in August 2011, the closing date for applications is 28 February 2011.

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.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position as part of a Swedish funded research program, which aims at applying synchrotron X-ray techniques to study in-situ some of the fundamental steps involved in several oxidative processes. The task will be to design, assemble and test electrochemical cells suited to the demands of a particular experiment. Demonstrated practical experience with electrochemical equipment and knowledge of the X-ray absorption technique are necessary.

Eligibility requires a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science awarded not more than 5 years before the application date.
The MAX-laboratory is a Swedish National Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. It presently consists of three electron storage rings and provides photons from IR up to the hard X-ray regime, serving 800 scientists a year.
