Research Fellow: Polymer Chemistry and Bionanotechnology</h3>
<h3>
<strong>University of Birmingham</strong> -School of Chemical Engineering</h3>
<strong>Starting salary £27,854 a year, in a range up to £36,298 a year, with potential progression to £38,522 a year.</strong><br />
<strong>Post is available for 24 months. </strong><br />
<br />
A Research Fellow position is available from March 2014 for a
two-year EPSRC-funded project entitled “Surface-Based Molecular
Imprinting for Glycoprotein Recognition” to work in the field of polymer
chemistry and bionanotechnology.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The aim of this project is to generate surface materials with
biological properties that are precisely controlled and manipulated at
the molecular and nanometre length scales by interfacing nanotechnology
with biological systems. This field of research is one of most exciting
and potentially important areas of bionanotechnology, but so far little
progress has been made partly due to the complexity involved in the
design and fabrication processes. This project seeks to tackle this
ambitious challenge using an interdisciplinary approach that combines
polymer chemistry, nanochemistry, supramolecular chemistry and
biochemistry.<br />
Applications are invited from a suitably qualified postdoctoral
research scientist to develop new paradigms and breakthrough
methodologies based on polymer chemistry, nanochemistry, supramolecular
chemistry and biochemistry to create flat and nanoparticle surfaces with
molecularly well-defined chemical, physical and, in particular,
biological properties. The postdoctoral fellow will join a productive
research group within the School of Chemical Engineering at the
University of Birmingham.<br />
Applicant should have a PhD in a related subject and should have
prior knowledge, experience and achievements in either polymer chemistry
or bionanotechnology.<br />
Informal enquiries can be directed to Professor. Paula M Mendes via email: <a href="mailto:p.m.mendes@bham.ac.uk">p.m.mendes@bham.ac.uk</a><br />
Applicants should complete an online application form, available from
the website through the link shown below, where they should also
provide an up-to-date CV, a letter of motivation, and the names of two
scientific referees.<br />

plasmonics in the regime when tunnelling is possible in metallic
nanogaps. Further projects in the group involve thermal transport,
thermoelectric materials, organic-inorganic interfaces, and the
development of electronic structure methods. The PhD candi-dates will
acquire experience with modern theoretical methods to describe the
electronic structure, including density functional theory and many-body
perturbation theory, and with non-equilibrium quantum physics, including
the Keldysh formalism and Green's functions. The postdoctoral
candidates are assumed to be (at least partially) familiar with these
techniques. Embedded into the Collaborative Research Center DFG SFB767

The extensive research activities of MMK, hosting the Berzelii Center
EXSELENT for development of nanoporous materials for catalysis, span
over Materials and Solid State Chemistry focusing on different classes
of materials; e.g. ceramics and glasses, self-assembled and porous
materials, and soft matter. The work often encompasses synthesis,
characterisation by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy, NMR
studies, modelling with computer simulations of materials with a
potential for various applications. Environmental aspects are an
important part of the research activities, where refined natural or
anthropogenic inorganic and organic chemicals and materials are studied
in relation to their sole or combined impact on, and interaction with
biological and non-biological systems in our global environment.<br />

<strong>P</strong><strong>roject HT13-1</strong><br />
<strong>Title: </strong><strong>Studies and characterization of interfaces in nanoscale materials using novel 3DEM techniques<br />
</strong>Project leader: Germán Salazar-Alvarez, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null">german@mmk.su.se</a><strong><br />
Subject: Materials Chemistry</strong>
<br />
Synthetic and naturally occurring nanostructured materials are the building blocks<br />
of nanoscience and nanotechnology. These nanostructures often exhibit
novel properties as their physical dimensions become comparable to
certain characteristic length scales, which situate them at the border
between quantum effects and bulk properties.<br />
Nanomaterials composed of two phases often shown interesting interfacial
phenomena. This project focuses on developing element specific
three-dimensional electron microscopy to obtain compositional and
crystallographic information at the interface of such nanoscale
materials and correlate it with optical and magnetic properties. The
project will be carried out in close collaboration with other groups at
Stockholm University and international partners in Spain, Denmark and
USA.<br />

<strong>Project </strong><strong><strong>HT13</strong>-2</strong><br />
<strong>Title: </strong><strong>Structural diversity and formation mechanisms of nanoparticle assemblies</strong><br />
Project leader: Lennart Bergström, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null">lennart.bergstrom@mmk.su.se</a><br />
<strong>Subject: Materials Chemistry</strong><br />
Self-assembly of nanoparticles into ordered structures is a promising
strategy for production and design of nanostructured materials with
novel properties. The degree of versatility, simplicity and flexibility
of the various self-assembly methods to produce bulk materials coatings
and the ability to introduce magnetic, electronic or optical functions
with a high degree of spatial accuracy are important features for
self-assembled materials.<br />
The project aims to generate a deeper understanding and to
demonstrate the general versatility and applicability of nanoparticle
self-assembly for the formation of nanostructured materials for
functional applications. The main objectives are to understand how the
structure of three-dimensional nanocrystal assemblies, i.e.
mesocrystals, can be controlled and tailored. Specifically, we are
interested to understand the structural diversity displayed by
assemblies of nanocrystal Platonic and Archimedean bodies, e.g. cubes,
pyramids, octahedra and other polyhedral and also rods and ellipsoids.
We also want to clarify how the nanoparticle assemblies are formed and
how the growth and formation can be structurally and spatially
controlled. The project will involve collaborations with research groups
in Germany and USA and include extensive use of electron microscopy and
synchrotron facilities.<br />
Suitable applicants should be dedicated, self-motivated, and proficient in written and spoken English.<br />

<strong>Project H</strong><strong><strong>T13</strong>-3</strong><br />
<strong>Title: </strong><strong>Development of adsorbents for CO2 separation</strong><br />
Project leader: Niklas Hedin, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null">niklas.hedin@mmk.su.se</a><br />
<strong>Subject: Materials Chemistry</strong><br />
We are searching for a graduate student that will synthesize and
study adsorbents that capture CO2. The effects of the climate change
require a reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases. Carbon capture
and storage (CCS) is an approach. Adsorption based technologies could
avoid the large cost for thermal regeneration associated with the
current technologies and be added to current power plants without
massive modifications. This position will involve chemical syntheses of
adsorbents, studies of the detailed mechanisms involved in their
formation, as well as studies of the adsorption of CO2. The successful
candidate will employ state of the art X-ray facilities in the
“Röntgen-Ångström Cluster” (<a href="http://www.rontgen-angstrom.eu/" target="_blank">www.rontgen-angstrom.eu/</a>) and be involved in the Berzelii Center EXSELENT on Porous Materials (<a href="http://www.exselent.su.se/">www.exselent.su.se/</a>).<br />
<br />
<strong>Project </strong><strong>H</strong><strong><strong>T13</strong></strong><strong>-4</strong><br />
<strong>Title: </strong><strong>Solid-state NMR Studies of Bioactive Silicate Glasses</strong><br />
Project leader: Mattias Edén, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null">mattias.eden@mmk.su.se</a>; web-info: <a href="http://www.mmk.su.se/%7Emattias">www.mmk.su.se/~mattias</a> <br />
<strong>Subject: </strong><strong>Physical Chemistry</strong><br />
Our research is focused on developing and using solid-state NMR
spectroscopy for structural investigations of structurally disordered
inorganic materials, primarily silicate-based glasses. This project
involves application of both routine and advanced solid-state NMR
techniques for exploring the structures of phosphorus-bearing
“bioactive” silicate glasses that are used for repairing bone and teeth,
because they naturally integrate with the tissue when implanted in the
body. This project aims at<br />
(1) improving the structural understanding of such bioactive glasses and
finding out how their local structural features change when the glass
composition is varied. The overall goal is to establish
structure-bioactivity correlations that will eventually lead to a
rational strategy for predicting glass compositions with an optimal
“bioactivity”.<br />
(2) monitoring the structural changes that occur at the glass surface
upon its exposure to simulated body fluids (in vitro), which over
periods of hours/days leads to a calcium phosphate surface layer (which
constitutes the interface between the glass and the tissue).<br />
While the project is centered around solid-state NMR investigations,
it will also involve glass synthesis, bioactivity-testing in simulated
body fluids, as well as usage of other characterization techniques, such
as scanning electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. The ideal
candidate has a background in Physical Chemistry (or Chemical Physics)
and is a self-motivated person with a passion for solving challenging
scientific problems.<br />
<br />
<strong>Project H</strong><strong><strong>T13</strong></strong><strong>-5</strong><br />
<strong>Title: </strong><strong>Synthesis of metal-organic frameworks
and probing reactions in action within in-situ reaction cells by
synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy</strong><br />
Project leaders: Xiaodong Zou, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null">xzou@mmk.su.se</a>, and Ingmar Persson, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null">ingmar.persson@slu.se</a><br />
<strong>Subject: </strong><strong>Inorganic Chemistry</strong><br />
The PhD project is part of the Berzelii Center EXSELENT on Porous Materials<br />
(<a href="http://www.exselent.su.se/">www.exselent.su.se/</a>) and part of the MATsynCELL project within the “Röntgen-<br />
Ångström Cluster” framework program (<a href="http://www.rontgen-angstrom.eu/" target="_blank">www.rontgen-angstrom.eu/</a>) held jointly by <br />
Stockholm University and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in
Sweden, and Christian-Albrechts-Universität and Ruhr-Universität in
Germany to build up a consortium MATsynCELL.<br />
The PhD project is to synthesize multi-functional metal-organic
frameworks (MOFs) and investigate the formation of MOFs and their
interactions with guest molecules. MOFs are a class of interesting
porous materials because of their importance in catalysis, energy
storage, gas separation and storage. New in situ liquid cells will be
developed in collaboration with the German collaborators within the
MATsynCELL project and used for studying the MOF formation and
interaction with guest molecules. The main tasks are developing
heterogeneous catalysts and catalytic reactions, and understanding the
catalytic performance.<br />
The student will especially develop his/her skills in X-ray
absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and use synchrotron light sources at e.g.
the MAX IV and Petra III facilities. XAS is an important technique for
determining the local geometric and/or electronic structure of matter.
The student will be jointly supervised by Prof. Xiaodng Zou (Stockholm
University) and Prof. Ingmar Persson (Swedish University of Agricultural
Sciences) and spend half of the study time at Stockholm University and
the other half at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The
student will also spend some time in the laboratories of the German
collaborators.<br />
The successful candidate should have a strong collaborative and
communication skill and be self-motivated. The candidate should have a
Master or equivalent degree in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Sciences.
<br />
<br />
<strong>Project H</strong><strong><strong>T13</strong></strong><strong>-6</strong><br />
<strong>Title: 3D atomic structures from transmission electron microscopy images</strong><br />
Project leaders: Sven Hovmöller, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null">sven.hovmoller@mmk.su.se</a>, and Xiaodong Zou, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null">xzou@mmk.su.se</a><br />
<strong>Subject: </strong><strong>Inorganic Chemistry</strong><br />
Knowing the 3D atomic structure is essential for understanding the
properties and functions for all materials. Modern transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) can provide structure information down to the atomic
resolution and has been one of the most important techniques for study
new functional materials. One major problem of TEM is that the images
are only 2D projections of a 3D object. Although electron tomography has
been developed to reconstruct the 3D object from a series of 2D images,
the resolution is still not enough to resolve individual atoms. The aim
of the PhD project is to develop new methods to push the limit of the
3D reconstruction to atomic resolution, and apply the 3D atomic
resolution electron tomography to investigate the structure-property
relationships of different functional materials. The project is part of
the 3DEM-NATUR project (<a href="http://www.mmk.su.se/page.php?pid=945">www.mmk.su.se/page.php?pid=945</a>).
The project includes both fundamental and applied research, and
involves close collaborations with internationally leading groups world-
wide in materials development. The student should be motivated in
method development and has excellent communication skills. Previous
experience in electron microscopy and programming is desired but not
necessary.<strong> <br />

Project </strong><strong>H</strong><strong><strong>T13</strong></strong><strong>-7<br />
Title: </strong><strong>Investigation of zeolites and related inorganic open-frameworks</strong><br />
Project leader: Junliang Sun, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null">junliang.sun@mmk.su.se</a><br />
<strong>Subject: Inorganic Chemistry</strong><br />
The PhD project is part of the Berzelii Center EXSELENT on Porous Materials<br />
(<a href="http://www.exselent.su.se/">www.exselent.su.se/</a>) and part of the MATsynCELL project within the “Röntgen-<br />
Ångström Cluster” framework program (<a href="http://www.rontgen-angstrom.eu/" target="_blank">www.rontgen-angstrom.eu/</a>)
held jointly by Stockholm University and Swedish University of
Agricultural Sciences in Sweden, and Christian-Albrechts-Universität and
Ruhr-Universität in Germany to build up a consortium MATsynCELL.<br />
The goals of this research project are synthesis, structure
characterization and applications of inorganic micro-porous materials.
For the synthesis, both conventional and new strategies will be applied
(50 % of the time). The structure characterization will mainly use X-ray
diffraction and X-ray absorption, especially the in-situ studies of
their formation, separation and catalytic properties in the synchrotron
beamlines (50 % of the time). The applicant should have some background
or experience about synthetic work. Good knowledge of crystallography
would be a merit but is not necessary since we will offer good training
in crystallography here.<br />

<h3>
<strong>University of Oxford</strong> -Department of Materials</h3>
<div id="job-advert-text">
Dr H Bhaskaran<br />
The <a href="http://nanoeng.materials.ac.uk/">Advanced Nanoscale Engineering</a>
Group at Oxford University’s Materials Department is seeking
extraordinarily motivated aspiring scientists to join as Doctoral
Researchers (<strong>DPhil</strong>) starting in October 2014
(Michaelmas 2014). Our group engages in early-stage, blue-skies
research to create nanoscale devices and systems. This also involves
trying to understand the underlying science. <br />
<a name='more'></a>Intrigued? Read on.<br />
<strong>The Project</strong><br />
Imagine a world where one can pick-and-place nanoparticles and other
nanomaterials into real devices. This kind of assembly at large scales
revolutionized the previous century (cars for example), and creating
something akin to this at the nanoscale could yet revolutionize the
current one. It would enable a host of new devices to be built using
nanoparticles and structures that cannot be created with existing
technology. To realize these ambitions, we are looking for a team
member to pursue the doctorate on fundamental aspects of nanoscience,
including the study of surface forces at the nanoscale and the ability
to attract single nanoparticles reliably, and place them in a manner
similar to automobile assembly.<br />
This project is in close collaboration with Asylum Research of Santa
Barbara USA, IBM Research - Zurich, Switzerland and the Microelectronics
iNets with potential opportunities to travel to partner sites.<br />
<strong>Our Mentoring and Your Role</strong><br />
The successful candidate will enroll in the DPhil programme in the Department of Materials under the supervision of H Bhaskaran.<br />
The DPhil student working on this project will have the opportunity
to become an expert in advanced nanomanufacturing techniques, atomic
force microscopy and nanoparticle assembly. All our projects allow for
significant creative contributions (and a reasonable ability to chose
amongst various other projects within our group, see descriptions at <a href="http://nanoeng.materials.ox.ac.uk/Advanced_Nanoscale_Engineering_at_Oxford/Research.html">http://nanoeng.materials.ox.ac.uk/Advanced_Nanoscale_Engineering_at_Oxford/Research.html</a>).
The right DPhil candidate will have the freedom to shape research
directions. Our diverse group has a variety of informal mentoring
approaches to get you up-to-speed and become a confident researcher
within a reasonable time frame.<br />
<strong>Your Profile and application</strong><br />
Your profile will ideally be one of a highly motivated researcher
(evidenced by previous stints in research groups or labs), having (or
predicted to earn) a first class honors degree (or equivalent)
undergraduate/masters in Physics, Materials, Engineering, Chemistry or a
closely related field with a deep desire to carry out independent
experimental research. You must enjoy hands-on laboratory experiments
and have the desire to try out many novel ideas. Evidence (via
references) of initiative would be a plus, as this is an experimental
project.<br />
Candidates are considered in the January 2014 admissions cycle which
has an application deadline of 24 January 2014 – however, in exceptional
cases we will make an early offer (November cycle), and hence early
applications are encouraged. Due to funding restrictions this 3.5 year
EPSRC DTA studentship will provide full fees and maintenance for a
citizen of the UK or for a citizen of the EU who has spent the previous
three years (or more) in the UK undertaking undergraduate study. The
stipend is expected to be £13,726 per year. Other EU citizens should
read the guidance at <a href="http://www.materials.ox.ac.uk/admissions/postgraduate/eu.html">http://www.materials.ox.ac.uk/admissions/postgraduate/eu.html</a> for further information about eligibility.<br />

<strong>Project Description: </strong><br />
The Advanced Technology Institute at the University of Surrey hosts
researchers using fundamental and applied research for the design,
manipulation and fabrication of optical and electronic devices/systems
utilising the smallest building blocks available: atoms and molecules.
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Our researchers, from a diverse range of scientific backgrounds and
backed by state-of-the-art research equipment and facilities, are
currently designing materials, devices and systems based on and using
nanotechnology to address the grand challenges faced by society, such as
sustainable energy technology.<br />
We are currently seeking to fill a PhD position in the field of
experimental semiconductor spintronics. The project involves the study
and manipulation of electron spins using optical techniques and the
electrical detection of spin polarised currents in nanoscale/mesoscopic
devices.<br />
Semiconductor spintronics is an emerging technology in which the spin
of the electrons are exploited for future electronic technologies. In
our current work we have demonstrated magnetic field control of spins in
low-dimensional III-V semiconductor devices and the objective of this
project is to extend this to include the manipulation of spin via
electrical fields. The work will also investigate the properties of
topological insulators materials using our spin dependent optoelectrical
technique. These materials act as an insulator in its bulk while
conductive surface states exhibit very unusual behaviour. These unique
properties of TIs may result in new spintronic or magnetoelectric
devices and lead to a new architecture for topological quantum bits.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Please send your CV to: Dr Steven Clowes, Advanced Technology Institute, via email to</span> <a href="mailto:s.clowes@surrey.ac.uk">s.clowes@surrey.ac.uk</a>
