Overview
A fully funded 4-year EPSRC DTG PhD studentship, with a stipend of £15,740 per annum, is currently available, working in a multidisciplinary programme across material, medicine and engineering between the Department of Chemical Engineering (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/chemeng/) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering (http://www.mecheng.ucl.ac.uk/) at UCL.
Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing field, and will play an increasingly important role in 21st century healthcare. For example, the efficiency of drug targeting is increased by using nanoparticles. Recently, the significance of the morphological control of nanomaterials to medical device, detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases has been attracting more attention. During this project, nanoparticles (oxides and compound, such as calcium phosphates) with varied morphology and aspect (sphere, tube, etc) will be synthesised using advanced approaches (e.g. microwave-assisted hydrothermal, sol-gel etc).
A systematic evaluation of the synthesised nanomaterials from microstructure to biological responses will be thoroughly carried out and some fundamental issues will be addressed for further research.
Value of this studentship
The studentship provides tuition fees and an annual stipend of £15,740 for eligible UK residents, or a tuition fee only award for EU students. (see http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/PostgraduateTraining/StudentEligibility.htm).
Eligible Candidates
The candidate should have a strong background in chemistry, materials science, mechanical engineering or chemical engineering. Applicants should possess, or to be awarded, at least an upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) in this area. A candidate with a knowledge of both nanomaterial and life science is preferred.
Eligible candidates will be interviewed shortly after the closing date. Applications forms are available at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/admission/graduate-study/application-admission.
Please also send a copy of your application by email to Dr Junwang Tang, junwang.tang@ucl.ac.uk or Dr Jie Huang, jie.huang@ucl.ac.uk
Closing Date: 1 July 2010
Studentship Start Date: September 2010
