Scholarship for Nigerians and Africans
This service provides information on Scholarships, Grants, Fellowships opportunities at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels including Research Institutions for Nigerians and Africans
The Indian Institute of science, Bangalore is pleased to announce the IICs Postdoctoral fellowship to encourage bright scientists and engineers(preferably below 35 years) of all nationalities to work in stimulating environment of the institute.
The fellowship will be for a period of 2 years
Scholarship Application Deadline: Application can be submitted at any time of the year.
The aim of the scheme is to encourage young scientists of the State to take up research studies in emerging and frontier areas of Science & Technology related to their field. The training is expected to provide the candidates with an opportunity to work with the latest equipments and facilities under the well-known experts. It is believed that such an exposure will equip the FTYS trainees to initiate independently advanced research programmes in their respective institutions.
Scholarship Application Deadline: The application may be submitted any time during the year but atleast two months before proposed start of the training/study.
The Fuel Cells and Solid State Chemistry Division at Risø DTU is seeking a Ph.D. student to develop graded thermoelectric materials with optimized properties over a broad temperature range for use in conversion of heat into electricity.
Thermoelectric power conversion is a promising technology for waste heat recovery in a broad variety of applications, e.g. transportation, building and industry. A thermoelectric device works by converting a certain temperature difference into an electric potential to generate power.
You will be part of a large project which aim to develop and demonstrate high-temperature efficient thermoelectric oxide modules integrated in a converter system.
This will take place at the international front line in collaboration between Risø DTU and four leading laboratories in Denmark, Japan and the US, while industry participation ensures strong links to both technology providers and end-users.
The project
A major challenge in thermoelectric materials development is to combine a number of materials belonging to different families of materials together in order to improve the conversion efficiency and to expand the working temperature range of the thermoelectric device. The project is focussed on the construction and optimization of p- and n-type segments over a broad temperature range by graded materials. This will be done in order to improve the so-called compatibility factor between the materials in each leg. The materials are chosen among the best of state-of-the-art materials and the novel developed thermoelectric oxides.
Qualifications
• Master’s degree in chemistry, physics, materials science or similar
• Knowledge in synthesis of inorganic materials preferably oxides
• Prior knowledge in the area of thermoelectricity is beneficial
• Experience with experimental methods for materials characterization
• Ability to work independently, to plan and carry out complicated tasks, and to be a part of a large, dynamical group
• Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken
