Understanding of structure and transport properties of hybrid silica glasses
PhD Studentship funded by EPRSC and Pilkington Group Ltd
under supervision of Dr. Y. Z. Khimyak (University of Liverpool) and Dr. K. S. Varma (Pilkington Group Ltd)
Pilkington Group Ltd manufactures several sophisticated functional glazing products for global markets. One such functional glazing is designed for use in Fire Protection. The mechanism of fire protection is generated by the transformations of the silicate hydrogel when exposed to fire temperatures. The project will focus on molecular level understanding of both properties and mechanism of formation of such hybrid materials with different structural and dynamic domains. The primary goal of the project is to formulate generic methodology suitable for control of properties of different classes of the hybrid glasses. This is a challenging programme which will combine determination of micro- and molecular level structures and identification of various interfaces ensuring the stability and properties of such complex products. The combination of solid-state and gel-state NMR methods will offer the unique opportunity for novel generic routes for development of advanced materials and is of fundamental significance.
The position is available for UK graduates in the fields of synthetic chemistry, materials science or physics with a degree classification of 2.1 or above. For further information and to apply please send your CV, copy of academic transcripts as well as names and addresses of at least 2 referees to the Dr. Yaroslav Khimyak (Department of Chemistry, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, L69 7ZD, e-mail: khimyak@liverpool.ac.uk) as soon as possible.

PhD student Position in Synthetic Organic Chemistry Directed towards Molecular Electronics
at the Department of Photochemistry and Molecular Science, Uppsala University
Molecular electronics is a rapidly emerging research field at the interface between chemistry, physics, and engineering in which electron transport through molecules is investigated. The ultimate goal is the design and the preparation of molecules that function as miniaturized electronics components. One can also expect that completely new types of applications will open up as the field evolves. Present research in molecular electronics should, however, be classified as fundamental and the applications lie ahead in time.
A new constellation in molecular electronics is presently being formed at Uppsala University; the Uppsala University UniMolecular Electronics Center (U3MEC) composed of eight different research groups and with a focus on molecular electronics based on single or small assemblies of molecules. The U3MEC constellation comprises expertise in chemistry, physics and engineering sciences, experimentalists as well as theoreticians. Within the U3MEC constellation, a number of PhD student positions are now available:
One PhD student position in synthetic organic chemistry is available in the group of Docent Sascha Ott at the Department of Photochemistry and Molecular Science. The project will comprise elements of acetylene, organophosphorus and coordination chemistry. Apart from the synthetic work, the compounds will be investigated by physical organic chemistry techniques, and further evaluated in collaboration with theoreticians, spectroscopists and physicists.
The ideal candidate has an MSc degree in chemistry (or equivalent) with solid experience in synthetic organic, organophosphorus and/or organometallic chemistry, but also an outspoken interest in physical organic chemistry. The project is new and the ability of the PhD student to be innovative and not afraid to go outside the traditional discipline boundaries is appreciated.
The Department of Photochemistry and Molecular Science was formed in 2006 as one of four departments within the Chemistry section at Uppsala University. The Department has approximately 50 researchers and doctoral students and is situated in a new building at the Ångström Laboratories. The research spans from organic/inorganic chemistry to chemical physics/physical chemistry and from biochemistry to molecular biology. Strong cross-disciplinary collaborations are characteristic for the Department.
The PhD study position corresponds to four years of full time studies, with courses of approximately 1 year and 3 years of research work. A tentative starting date is autumn/winter 2008.
The application should contain a letter in which the applicant describes her/himself, her/his qualifications, and interests. It should contain a CV, copies of relevant grades, contact information of minimum two reference persons that are not related to each other, copies of the applicant’s Master thesis or an outline thereof, and possibly previous research publications.
Contact person for further scientific questions: Docent Sascha Ott with email Sascha.Ott@fotomol.uu.se and tel.nr. +46 (0)18 471 7340. Union representatives are Anders Grundström, SACO-rådet, tel +46 18-471 5380, Carin Söderhäll, TCO/ST, tel +46 18-471 1996 and Stefan Djurström, SEKO, tel +46 18-471 3315.
The application should be sent to: Registrator, UFV-PA 2008/1238, Uppsala University, Box 256, 751 05 Uppsala, Sweden, e-mail registrator@uu.se, no later than May 29, 2008. An application by e-mail must be followed by a letter containing the original documents, at the latest one week after the application deadline.

Project: WETTING AT SUBSTRATES WITH NANOSCOPIC STRUCTURE
PhD PROJECTS
There are a number of different available projects. These projects will obviously be complemented or changed depending on the results and, to a certain extent, on the candidates preferences.
One project focuses on the theoretical study of the Line Tension in substrates with certain geometrical structure. To this end, certain standard techniques in wetting (called Effective Hamiltonian Models) will be used (see refs. 4, 5 and 6). In this framework, the sought-after properties are obtained from solving non-linear differential equations (numerically, in general).
A different project would be the study of the Wetting Properties of substrates with geometrical structure by means of a recently developed Effective Hamiltonian Model (ref. 7).
Yet a different project would be the study of the wetting properties of a Polydisperse Fluid on a flat substrate. Here, the complexity does not lie in the substrate (which is structureless) but in the fluid (made up of molecules not all quite identical). See, ref. 8.
Another project would be the general study of the adsorption properties at a flat but Chemically Heterogeneous substrate, in line with reference 9.
Also, if you have any ideas for your PhD project along these lines or, in general, framed in Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics, you can contact me directly.
Candidates must satisfy the following indispensable requisites:
Scientific Interest
Degree in Physics, Mathematics or Chemistry
Minimum Marks/Grades: 60%
Basic knowledge of Statistical Mechanics
Open disposition to perform both theoretical (pen and paper) and numerical (computer) calculations.
Intermediate level of English
