Warwick University, UK
PhD Positions in Physical Chemistry /Chemical Physics
EPSRC Funded (UK and EU nationals qualify for fees and maintenance grant)
________________________________________________________________________
Applications are invited from students holding or expecting to achieve a
first class or upper second class degree (or European equivalent) for
EPSRC funded PhD studentships in the department of chemistry, Warwick
University. The positions are available from October 2001 for three years.
The students will join the chemical physics group of Dr Stuart Mackenzie
and available projects include the partial fragmentation dynamics of
weakly bound molecular clusters and restricted-geometry intra-cluster
chemistry.
Molecular cluster chemistry represents one of the hottest topics in
chemical physics and this young research group is developing a variety of
novel methods with which to investigate these species.
Students will gain experience of modern laser techniques, high vacuum,
molecular beams and will be involved in aspects of experimental mechanical
and electronic design. Warwick Chemistry has just invested in a 96
processor high performance computing facility which will be used in the
theoretical aspects of the project. Previous experimental/computing
knowledge, although useful, is not necessary.
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr Stuart Mackenzie
directly by email at the address below or complete the application form
on-line at http://www.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/Chemistry/
