Scholarship to study in United Kingdom: Engineering & Electronic PhD Studentships For Students Worldwide - University Of Edinburgh - UK
PhD Studentship: “Metal-Organic Frameworks For Industrial Applications
Description:
This project is a collaborative project led by TOTAL France with 17 partners from 8 EU countries and South Korea. The research will explore innovative applications of novel metal-organic frameworks (MOF) to key industrial applications such as gas and liquid separations. The major advantage of MOFs over more traditional porous materials, such as zeolites, is the greater scope for tailoring these materials due to their modular synthesis from corner units (generally metal ions) and linker units (organic molecules able to bridge the metal corners). The research in Edinburgh will explore the potential of MOFs for industrially important liquid phase separations (e.g. xylene separations, recovery of N- and/or S-compounds). Our computational efforts to assess MOFs and to develop high-throughput screening will be supported by experimental studies at the University of Leuven, Belgium, and there will be close collaboration between the two groups.
Informal Inquiry & Applications:
Informal enquiries about the project should be directed to Dr Tina Düren (t.duren@ed.ac.uk). General guidance and information on how to apply for a PhD at the University of Edinburgh is available at: http://www.ed.ac.uk/studying/postgraduate/applying. Formal applications should be made online following the link below and an email should be sent to Dr Duren once the application has been submitted.

Requirements & Stipend:
The successful candidate will have a first class or 2.1 degree, or equivalent, in chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, or applied mathematics. Previous programming experience is preferred but not essential. The studentship is available starting 1st of October 2009 for 3.5 years. The studentship provides a tax-free stipend of £16,690 / year. Please note that the fees (currently £3,400 / year for EU and £12,900 / year for overseas students) have to be covered from the stipend. For highly qualified overseas students, there might be the possibility to cover the difference between EU and overseas fees.
Closing Date: 30 September, 2009
