A PhD position in Theoretical/Experimental Surface Science is available
at the Department of Chemistry, University of Reading, UK.
The PhD project entitled: “A combined theoretical and experimental
approach for determining the arrangement of molecules at bio-inorganic
interfaces” is in the field of computational chemistry with some
involvement in experiments.
The primary objective is to design, test and develop a novel combined
experimental and theoretical approach for investigating the adsorption
of bio-relevant molecules at interfaces. The new methodology will allow
a more detailed interpretation of data from state-of-the-art
synchrotron-based experiments for the investigation of the surface
environment of adsorbed bio-molecules.
The project will be carried out under the supervision of Dr David Nutt
and Dr Georg Held and will involve running and modifying existing
program packages for molecular modelling. Applicants should have a
strong background in Physical Chemistry or Physics and an interest in
computer programming (training will be provided).
EU and UK candidates holding or expecting 1st class or 2i degrees or
equivalent in Chemistry, Physics or related subjects are invited to
apply before 15th May 2008. The PhD studentship is available from 1st
October 2008 in the Department of Chemistry. Funding is provided by the
University of Reading Research Endowment Trust Fund, which pays fees, a
tax free stipend and an annual Reading University Postgraduate Research
Support Award for conferences, travel and training.
