PhD position in Theoretical Nanoscience

Highlights:

1. The appointment will be on Marie Curie Trainee Scale. The salary range will be £25,683 - £30,403 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance.
2. The London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) is the leading UK laboratory dedicated specifically to nanoscience research. We are participating in a recently funded Marie Curie Training Network (SMALL - www.small-itn.eu). As part of the SMALL network we are seeking a PhD student who will carry out cutting edge research focusing on electronic structure simulations of water-oxide interfaces. In addition, there will be many opportunities for travel to the other European partners in the network.
3. Funding for this position will be for three years to allow for completion of the PhD.
4. The successful student will have a Masters degree (or equivalent) in physics, chemistry or material science and will be required to carry out theoretical research (including the development and application of computer simulation techniques) into water oxide interfaces. He/she will have a strong background in Chemistry and Physics demonstrated by the successful completion of courses in e.g. condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chemical bonding. However, there are specific restrictions on eligibility. Specifically, researchers can be of any European nationality other than British. Exceptions include those researchers with more than one nationality, in which case they are eligible if they have not resided in the UK for the previous 5 years. Also eligible are those that have resided and worked for at least three out of the last 4 years in another country. Students must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the UK for more than 12 months in the last 3 years.
