The School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds, Leeds, UK, is offering a PhD studentship, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), in the general areas of planetary and interstellar chemistry. The studentship is for 3.5 years, with a start date before 1st April 2024. The primary supervisor will be either Professor Dwayne Heard or Professor John Plane, and the project can be a blend of experimental laboratory work and atmospheric modelling. Co-supervisors may include staff from the Schools of Chemistry, Physics & Astronomy, and Earth & Environment at Leeds. Current areas of research in the School include: cold interstellar chemistry; dust formation in the circumstellar envelopes of evolved stars; the chemistry of metals which ablate from cosmic dust, and the formation of ice clouds, in the atmospheres of Mars and Venus; and the atmospheric composition, chemistry and habitability of rocky exoplanets. Applications are encouraged in any of these general areas. Applicants should have a degree in chemistry, physics, astronomy or related subjects. Note that this studentship is open to both UK and international students.
