PhD Studentship in Biological Sensors, De Montfort Univ, UK

An exciting and challenging PhD studentship has become available in the development of nano-scale materials and their applications within the field of biological sensors. The project will be run jointly between the School of Pharmacy and the Emerging Technologies Research Centre at De Montfort University, and is truly interdisciplinary in nature.

This project requires collaborations that bring together the fields of electronic engineering, chemical engineering and nanotechnology. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop skills in material development, synthesis and characterisation and eventually device fabrication and testing. In doing so, the student will have the opportunity to study a range of techniques such as the solution synthesis of nanomaterials, scanning probe microscopy and plasma deposition of electronic materials.

We are looking for an enthusiastic student who enjoys working in a multidisciplinary environment. The candidate will become part of a project team drawn from the areas of the physical and life sciences. Consequently, it is hoped that novel interdisciplinary research will be developed in the course of the study.

The studentship is fully-funded, covering University tuition fees and provides a bursary. Both national and international candidates can apply for the studentship.

Prospective candidates should have an urge to learn about electronic materials/devices and biosensors and have a 1st class or 2.1 undergraduate degree in electrical or electronic engineering, physics, chemistry, materials science or a related subject. Knowledge of and experience in deposition techniques and exposure to a device fabrication environment would be an advantage, but is not essential.

For an informal discussion, please contact Dr Shashi Paul (Email:pshashi[at]dmu.ac.uk, Tel: +44-(0)116 207 8548.

Only the short listed applicants will be contacted.

PhD Scholarship in Wave Modelling - Swinburne University of Technology Australia

PhD Scholarship co-sponsored by Swinburne University of Technology and Woodside Energy Ltd Wave Modelling within Extreme Tropical Cyclones Physical Oceanography

*Victoria, Australia*

*BACKGROUND:
*Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) and Woodside Energy Ltd (WEL) are seeking a suitably qualified student to undertake post-graduate study to develop a wave forecast model suitable for extreme tropical cyclone conditions.

*About Swinburne University of Technology
*Swinburne University of Technology is a large multi-sectoral and multi-campus institution with a stated mission to be a pre-eminent entrepreneurial university from the Asia-Pacific, thriving on new ideas and knowledge and exploiting its intersectoral heritage to create value for its stakeholders.

The Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences is host to most of the engineering activities at Swinburne as well as key programs in aviation and photonics. The Coastal Engineering and Physical Oceanography group of the Faculty specialises in research of deep-water and finite-depth wave dynamics, spectral modelling of wind-generated waves, wave breaking and dissipation, air-sea interaction, wave-bottom interaction and turbulence.

*About Woodside Energy Ltd
*Woodside Energy Ltd. (WEL) is Australia’s largest offshore oil and gas producer and operator of the North West Shelf project. Over a period of 20 years, WEL has been conducting and sponsoring applied and fundamental oceanographic research. The issue of enhancing understanding of extreme tropical cyclones, and in particular improving the wave forecast under such conditions, is among the current priorities of the research sponsored by the company.

*PROJECT ABSTRACT:
*Accurate wind wave models are essential for all elements of extreme air-sea interaction, including loads on structures, upper-ocean mixing and bottom boundary layer formation. At present, physics of such models is mostly based on theory and experiments applicable to moderate wind/wave situations, which physics is then extrapolated to extreme conditions. Since air-sea interaction at such tropical cyclones is known to be different, the models manifest inconsistent results. This is a major concern for engineering design applications. The project is intended to produce, parameterise, implement and test new energy source/.sink functions for the wave forecast models, based on direct measurements in the extreme tropical cyclones and on recent theoretical advances in this field.

*SELECTION CRITERIA*

1. Honours degree in Physical or Mathematical Sciences (essential)
2. Strong analytical and mathematical skills (essential)
3. A good working knowledge of programming (desirable)

*Commencement Date: *March 2008

*Scholarship: *A$24,815 per annum, tax exempt. Duration – three years

*Application Deadline: *31 January 2008
*Contact
*Alexander Babanin

2008 University of Cambridge Graduate Studentships

The Centre aims to fund up to three PhD studentships commencing in October 2008, for projects falling within its remit. These may be held in any relevant department within the University or affiliated institutes. Details of projects available and contact details for supervisors are given at the bottom of the page.

The studentships will be awarded on a competitive basis and applicants will be expected to demonstrate both a strong academic background and aptitude for research.

Students will receive instruction and guidance principally from their supervisor in a supportive and stimulating environment, but also attend formal training courses.

Further information is available from the Graduate School
http://www.biomed.cam.ac.uk/gradschool/prospective/ .

The studentships will be fully funded at Wellcome Trust rates for three years of full-time research, and are open to UK, EU and overseas students. However, if a candidate who is offered a studentship also obtains substantial funding from another awarding body, this will be taken into account in determining the level of the award. The Centre is also willing to consider hosting students for the PhD who have already secured independent funding. For information regarding the costs of PhD training in Cambridge please refer to the Board of Graduate Studies’ website http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/ .

Requirements
Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, at least an upper second class honours degree in a relevant biological subject. For overseas students the minimum undergraduate GPA for entrance into the University is 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale), and those for whom English is not their native language should see the Board of Graduate Studies’ guidelines regarding Competence in English.

Research students are initially admitted without being registered for a particular degree, and are then registered for the PhD on satisfactory completion of a report at the end of their first year of study.

Application procedure
We encourage all applicants to make initial informal enquiries of individual members of the Centre regarding their projects on offer. Once you have identified a potential supervisor and project you should make a formal application as follows:

1) Complete a GRADSAF application form available from the Board of Graduate Studies’ website http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/ and return to the Board by January 31st 2008 at the latest. That form combines admission to the University with admission to a college. King’s College is pleased to consider applicants who are offered the Centre’s studentships, and so you may wish to indicate this college as your first choice. However, admission to this particular college cannot be guaranteed and candidates should indicate a second choice. Candidates from outside the EU who return the GRADSAF form by 14 December 2007 will also be considered for ORSAS awards.

2) Send a curriculum-vitae, a half-page personal statement outlining your motivation for research at the Centre, two confidential academic references in sealed envelopes, and, if possible, a transcript of your undergraduate results to:

Ms Aileen Briggs,
Graduate Administrator,
Centre for Trophoblast Research,
Physiology Building,
Downing Street,
Cambridge CB2 3EG, UK

Both elements of the application must arrive by January 31st 2008, and incomplete applications cannot be considered.

Short-listed candidates will be interviewed in person or by telephone during February, and decisions should be communicated by the end of March.
