PhD Position: Energy From Streaming Potential Using Nanotechnology, University of Twente

In this project you will develop devices for the generation of molecular hydrogen and electrical energy from streaming water using the streaming potential. By coupling the generation of electricity to the generation of hydrogen in one process, we aim to increase efficiency as well as provide energy in an alternative storable form.

In your Ph.D. project you will be using nanochannels and nanoporous membranes. It will specifically be your task to optimize the pore wall surface to obtain maximal mechanical-to-electrical conversion efficiencies. You will have to identify the optimal wall material and investigate the influence of different chemical functionalizations. For example, there have been reports that the generation efficiency will strongly increase when the liquid slips past the walls, because this decreases the hydrodynamic resistance. Part of your work will therefore be to chemically functionalize the channel walls to introduce liquid slip. At the same time energy generation will increase with pore surface charge density, which is also influenced by the surface functionalization. Influencing the surface charge density will therefore be another goal.

In your research it will be important to develop a good theoretical insight in the different processes that influence the streaming potential, because this will guide your research. Possibly you will therefore be using simulation programs like Comsol Multiphysics to model your system. You will be part of a team with another Ph.D. student and a technician.

Requirements

The candidate should have a background in chemistry, preferably physical and colloid chemistry, or physical sciences. Experience in microfabrication technology will be appreciated as well as affinity with theoretical modelling. A good knowledge of scientific English is required for everyday communication in the group and writing of well-structured reports in that language.

BIOS group

The BIOS, Lab-on-a-Chip group is part of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology, located at the University of Twente (The Netherlands) and is considered as a pioneering group in the field of microfluidics. The group offers a multidisciplinary research environment as well as an active social life. More information can be found on our group and our research activities and interests can be found on http://ping.fm/w4yNV

What we offer

We offer you a PhD position for 4 years. Your starting salary will be € 2042, – gross per month in the first year and up to € 2612, – gross per month in the last year.

Applications

For more information and application, please contact Jan Eijkel (j.c.t.eijkel@utwente.nl). Applications should consist of an application/motivation letter as well as detailed CV (resume).

PhD position in Historical Geology and Palaeontology
at the Department of Earth Sciences, Palaeobiology

Starting date: Open from the application deadline

Palaeobiology and phylogeny of Cambrian lophotrochozoans

The Cambrian explosion some 540 Ma ago generated a large number of sclerite-bearing taxa whose relationships are beginning to be understood by use of the stem- and crown-group distinction. In particular, large numbers of putative lophotrochozoans (i.e. annelids, brachiopods, molluscs and their close relatives) are known, although their phylogeny is poorly understood. We intend to address this question by a large-scale study of the rich Cambrian fossil record of scleritome animals. One focus of the work will be a detailed analysis of exceptionally preserved lophotrochozoans from the Burgess Shale and Chengjiang.

Applicants should have a university degree preferably in palaeontology or zoology to work on these challenging problems. A working knowledge of the methods and principles of systematics is desirable. Fluency in spoken and written English is required. You should be interested in informing other people about your work; the ability to cooperate with others is important.

Applications should include a CV, university transcripts that include a list of courses and grades, names, mail and e-mail addresses of two referees, list of any publications, and a short (one paragraph) statement of research/career interests.

The holder of a PhD-student position shall primarily devote her/his time to own research studies. Other departmental work, such as educational or administrative can be part of position (max 20%).

The PhD position is four years where financing for the first year will by a postgraduate study grant (utbildningsbidrag) and the following 3 years as an employee of the university as a PhD student.

The applicant must be eligible for PhD studies. Priority is given to those who are deemed to show the greatest aptitude for a successful completion of graduate studies. Local guidelines at Uppsala University determine the salary levels.

Basic social security coverage
Accommodation or support for relocation
A research budget in the range of € 5,500
Travel expenses (one round trip)
Same working conditions as the IAS’ other fellows
Please note that the administrative modalities, working conditions and allowances may slightly vary from one Institute to another. In order to obtain precise information, we invite you to contact the institute you apply for.

ETHICS

The EURIAS Fellowship Programme is founded on shared values such as the need to ensure freedom of research and the need to work in the interest of the physical and moral integrity of individuals.

In compliance with the European Commission’s Code of Ethics for Researchers, the fields of research on human embryo and foetus, on humans, on animals, and human cloning are excluded from the Programme.

The fellowship programme fully complies with the European Commission ethical provisions on privacy, data protection, confidentiality and intellectual property rules.

Applicants are requested to indicate possible ethical issues in their proposals.

The Programme Officer systematically undertakes an ethical eligibility check of applications in collaboration with the Ethical Review Board (with particular attention to privacy and data protection, as most research proposals deal with humanities and social sciences). If needed, the application is transferred to the relevant national ethical committee for assessment.

Under the EURIAS Fellowship Programme, employment conditions offered to fellows by all participating IAS are in full compliance with the General Principles and Requirements applicable to employers in the European Charter for Researchers and in the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.

The EURIAS fellowship programme follows an equal opportunity policy.

SELECTION

Application assessment
