Two Postgraduate Positions
Computational solid state chemistry
Project Supervisor: Prof. M Gutowski (m.gutowski@hw.ac.uk)
Application deadline: 31 July 2006
One position for a student who has been a resident in the UK for 3 years; one position for a student worldwide
You will develop and apply computational methods of chemistry, physics, and materials science to study chemical transformations in condensed phases. You will use and develop electronic structure methods for molecular and extended systems and you will develop mesoscale models based on the results of electronic structure
calculations. Your work will be carried out as a part of a multidisciplinary team and your results will be tested against the results of experimental studies that will be performed in parallel. The applications will be primarily in areas relevant to hydrogen economy (materials for hydrogen storage, catalysts).
You will receive an excellent training in modern computational methods including electronic structure and kinetic Monte Carlo. You will benefit from working in parallel with excellent experimental groups.
Maintenance payment will be at the standard EPSRC rate. Fees are covered at the UK Home / EU student level for the first position and are waived for the second position. Well motivated students with an Honours degree in Chemistry / Chemical Physics / Physics/Materials Science at 1st / upper 2nd class, or equivalent, are encouraged to apply.
