Overview
A prestigious 3.5-year PhD scholarship sponsored by the James Weir Foundation and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is available to conduct research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde (http://www.mecheng.strath.ac.uk).
The successful applicant will join an internationally-recognised research group working on developing next-generation fluid technologies. The project is to design, fabricate, test and optimise microdroplet-based microfluidic devices that can offer flexible platforms to perform automated, multipurpose, parallel and rapid bio/chemical analyses. These have the potential to revolutionise the biological and chemical analyses that are key to industrially-relevant work in the life sciences and chemistry. To develop such platforms, droplet generation, transportation, and interactions in microfluidic channel networks need to be precisely controlled. Therefore, one major task of this project is to exploit droplet computing functions to intelligently manipulate droplets in microfludic devices.
This research is in collaboration with Glasgow, Manchester and Heriot Watt universities. The student will be under the supervision of Dr Yonghao Zhang and Prof Jason Reese at the University of Strathclyde.
Eligible candidates
Applicants must be UK nationals, or EU nationals who have spent the last three years in the UK. They should have a strong background in Engineering, Physical Sciences, or Analytical Sciences. No application deadline is set as the post will remain open until it is filled by the first successful applicant.
Amount awarded
The remuneration will be £13,569 per year (tax free) with all fees paid. Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Zhang (yonghao.zhang@strath.ac.uk) or Prof Reese (jason.reese@strath.ac.uk).
How to apply
To apply for this James Weir PhD Scholarship, please send your CV by email to Dr Zhang. In your application, you should include the contact details of at least two academic referees and state why you would are applying for this scholarship.
