PhD Studentship
Design of Nanoporous Adsorbents for the Capture of Carbon Dioxide
Institute for Materials and Processes
Funding is available for a PhD studentship in Chemical Engineering, in the Institute for Materials and Processes at the University of Edinburgh. This studentship is part of an EU project, Advanced Separation and Storage of Carbon Dioxide, which is aimed at developing new materials for the control of carbon dioxide emissions. The project
involves nine industrial and academic partners in six EU states - the UK, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Slovakia and Spain.
The student will work on the molecular simulation of adsorption in nanoporous adsorbents, with the aim of identifying optimal materials for the adsorption of carbon dioxide. Some experimental work will also be carried out, at Edinburgh and at partner institutions.
Candidates should have a first class degree, or equivalent, in chemical engineering.
This studentship is funded as a research associate post, starting at £22,332 per year. The Home/EU fee for a PhD student is currently £3,160 per year, and the fee for a student not from an EU member state is £11,750 per year. The fee must be paid by the student. The studentship is available from 1 March 2007.
