Dear colleagues,
PhD fellowships are available in the International Graduate School
"Structure, Reactivity, and Properties of Oxide Materials", funded by
the new Bavarian Elite Network, Germany.
We seek highly-qualified applicants to work in interdisciplinary fields
of earth sciences (experimental geochemistry and geophysics),
solid-state chemistry and/or materials science. The research projects
are oriented towards relationships between crystal chemistry and
structure, microstructure, reaction kinetics and physical-chemical
properties of oxide materials, including silicates, using a wide range
of synthesis, characterization and simulation techniques. The
participating institutes have excellent in-house experimental
(high pressure and temperature), analytical and computational facilities.
Students will be based either at the University of Bayreuth (Bayerisches
Geoinstitut or Institute for Inorganic Chemistry) or at the Fraunhofer
Institute for Silicate Research in Würzburg. In addition to pursuing
their own research projects, students will attend lectures, short
courses and seminars, in which our collaboration partners, leading
international experts, participate. We offer a supportive international
research and training environment as well as competitive salaries. The
official language of the program is English.
Detailed information about the program and admission requirements can be
found at:
http://www.elite.uni-bayreuth.de/oxides
The applications, including curriculum vitae, educational and
professional experience together with a statement of research interests
should be sent to the program director, Prof. David C. Rubie at
[log in to unmask]
I would appreciate if you can circulate this notice to prospective
students in your department.
Best wishes,
David
