Postdoctoral Positions at MAXlab, Sweden: Synchrotron X-ray techniques to study in-situ some of the fundamental steps involved in several oxidative processes.

/ February 2, 2011 Leave a Comment

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.

University of Southampton, PhD Studentship in Engineering 2011 in UK

/ February 2, 2011 Leave a Comment

A PhD studentship is now available in the Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics research group (AFM), School of Engineering Sciences (SES), which fully covers University tuition fees (at EU/UK level**) and provides a tax-free bursary of £13,600 per year, rising each October in line with the UK Government (EPSRC) recommended rate, for a 3-year duration.

**This position is available to EU/UK applicants only, unless additional scholarships are obtained by the student to cover the overseas fees difference (i.e. £12000 in 2010/11).

Project description: This project is designed to shed more light on the receptivity stage of transition to turbulence, i.e. the stage when disturbances first enter the boundary layer. A direct numerical simulation (DNS) code is to be used to study the flow over surface obstacles (micro-roughness elements) in the presence of free stream turbulence and acoustic waves.

The objective is to map out the sensitivity of boundary layer transition to the disturbance environment and hence to help understand experimental measurements. The context for the present project is the EU ATLLAS project in which measurements of transition in high speed flow will be compared with numerical predictions.

The School of Engineering Sciences at the University of Southampton has an international reputation for research excellence. In the 2008 UK Research Assessment Exercise, the School (in collaboration with the Institute of Sound & Vibration Research) ranked second in the total number of Unit 28 academics whose research was deemed world leading or internationally excellent.

The School is a diverse community which is committed to creating an inclusive working and learning environment in which all individuals are equally treated and valued, and can achieve their potential. The School considers all studentship applications in relation to academic criteria and regardless of the individual’s race, nationality, gender, or belief.

Entry requirements: Candidates will have a first class degree (or equivalent) in relevant disciplines, and will work with a group of highly motivated, first class research students. The studentship is at the standard EPSRC rate (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council), Commencing as soon as possible.

Application Deadline: 08/03/2011
