The appointment will be on a temporary basis for a maximum period of 3 years (PhD student, regular employment contract).
The remuneration will be in line with the EC rules for Marie Curie grant holders (Early-Stage Researchers, ITN).
The successful candidate must possess a good degree in Chemistry, Physics, Materials or Engineering Science, and should have experience of synthesising and characterising carbon-based nanostructured materials and their composite materials.
The successful candidate will be registered for a DPhil, and will make an application through the normal graduate admissions process.
Candidates must be able to demonstrate the following:
Essential:
• Reasonable experience of working in a Materials Chemistry laboratory, such as practical project work experience or industrial placement.
• Experience of materials science, materials processing and testing and good knowledge of carbon nanotubes synthesis techniques.
• Familiarity with general concepts of nanomaterials and nanomaterials composite characterisation.
• A good understanding of at least two of the following techniques: electron microscopy, Raman, XRD and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and MicroXAM for 3D surface analysis.
• Fluency in spoken and written English.
Desirable:
• Good practical experimental skills.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a research team.
• Experience in electron microscopy techniques.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 11 March 2011
A PhD scholarship within NMR spectroscopy is available at DTU Chemistry. It will be part of a larger project entitled “Enzymatic production of human milk oligosaccharides” supported by the Danish Council for Strategic Research. The main objective of the PhD project is structure elucidation of both enzymatic as well as synthetically produced oligosaccharides and other natural products by NMR spectroscopy. The project will also include development of new methodology for absolute structure determination by NMR and application of residual dipolar couplings in structure calculations.
Qualifications
* Candidates should have a master’s degree in chemistry or chemical engineering preferentially with a theoretical and experimental background in NMR spectroscopy and organic chemistry
* A strong commitment to research
Applicants should have a thorough interest in NMR spectroscopy. The position offers an opportunity to work within an international, dynamic multi-disciplinary project having participants from both universities and industry.
