REF: 14084/DPO/A3
Applications are invited for an EPSRC funded postdoctoral research
fellowship on "Bioconvection: hydrogen production and high concentrations
in
suspensions of swimming microorganisms." It is the aim of this project to
investigate the coupling between algal swimming behaviour, bioconvective
pattern formation, and hydrogen gas production in sulphur-stressed
suspensions of dilute and concentrated green algae, with a view to improve
the hydrogen yield. Applicants are expected to have an excellent record of
achievement in the fields of Mathematical Biology, Modelling and Fluid
Dynamics. Practical knowledge of analytical and numerical techniques in
Stokes flow is desirable. Applicants with both theoretical and experimental
experience in a biological or fluids area are especially encouraged to
apply, although a first-rate applicant with a theory only track record will
stand an equal chance. The successful applicant will be expected to work
with others to achieve several objectives.
The post is funded by the EPSRC (for 3 years at grade 6; or 2.5 years at
grade 7) from 1st May 2008, or soon thereafter.
Further details, including project information, can be obtained via

Applications should be submitted to Dr Martin A Bees, Department of
Mathematics, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QW.
Closing date: 18th March 2008
