About
Outline
The Cardiff Catalysis Institute within the School of Chemistry
has a major programme in the field of catalytic science which now makes
extensive use of computational modelling techniques. Applications are
invited for PhD studentships in the application of computational
techniques in catalytic science chemistry.
A wide range of projects will be available using advanced molecular
modelling techniques to determine structures and reaction mechanisms of
catalytic processes at the atomic level. There will be a strong emphasis
on heterogeneous catalysis and the computational projects will be
closely linked with experiment within Cardiff and elsewhere.
The main interest is to determine the relation between catalysts structure,
its environment and catalytic performance in processes such as H2
generation, biomass conversion (energy) and mitigation of environmental
hazards.
What is funded
| Full UK/EU tuition fees |
| Doctoral stipend matching UK Research Council National Minimum |
Duration
3 years
Eligibility
| Open to all students of any nationality without restrictions (UK/EU and International) |
Eligible candidates should have, or expect to obtain, a degree in chemistry or a closely related discipline. Highly motivated and dedicated students will gain a thorough training in computational chemistry and materials science and be rewarded with a highly stimulating project that will shape the future of this exciting research program. |
The funding covers Home/EU tuition fees. International applicants are
welcome to apply but will be expected to pay the fee difference between
Home/EU tuition fees and International tuition fees.
