Prediction of the Chemistry of Nanomaterial Interfaces using Extreme Computational Chemistry

Deakin University: Institute for Frontier Materials

Supervisor：Prof Tiffany Walsh

Applications accepted all year round

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

A fully-funded PhD position in computational chemistry (ab initio calculations) in the team of Prof. Tiffany Walsh is available at Deakin University based at the Institute for Frontier Materials, Geelong, Australia, starting as soon as possible.

In this project, EXtreme-scale Electronic Structure Systems (EXESS) will be used to perform extreme-scale ab initio quantum chemical calculations for many different bio-relevant molecules at the nanomaterial interface, specifically including molecular systems with up to thousands of atoms as a template. More specifically, we will focus on the interfacial chemistry of boron nitride (BN), which is an ideal example of a solid material that has a multitude of current and possible new uses in industrial processes. 

The extreme-scale ab initio calculations will be used to obtain, for the first time, a definitive benchmark of interfacial adsorption energies and geometries for a suite of small molecules adsorbed on boron nitride surface that are relevant to addressing grand-challenge scientific questions in a wide range of industrially-relevant areas, including energy generation, nanomedicine, and water purification.

This project will collaborate closely with a large, world-class team of electronic structure theory developers in applying new EXESS to studying these nanomaterial interfaces.

Applicants are encouraged to contact Prof Walsh as soon as possible at [e-mail]. Due to the high volume of applications, applicants who do not meet the candidate specifications below cannot be guaranteed a reply.

Candidate specifications:

Essential

• Demonstrated experience of computational chemistry, specifically electronic structure theory (e.g. use of density functional theory or post-Hartree Fock theories)

• Outstanding communication skills in English, both spoken and written - minimum IELTS overall score of 6.5, no score below 6

• First class or upper-second class undergraduate degree in a chemistry, physics or materials science

Desirable

• Demonstrated experience in coding in Python or Fortran

• Publication track record in international journals

Duration: 

Typically 3.5 years (full-time)

Important Date: Application deadline is end of March but appointment will be made as soon as possible

Funding Notes

The successful candidate will receive a full scholarship covering course fees and living costs, with an annual stipend of $28,600 AUD.

Molecular modelling of bio-based self-healing polymers

Deakin University: Institute for Frontier Materials

Supervisor：Prof Tiffany Walsh

Applications accepted all year round

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

A fully-funded PhD position in molecular simulation in the team of Prof. Tiffany Walsh is available at Deakin University based at the Institute for Frontier Materials, Geelong, Australia, starting as soon as possible.

This project will use molecular dynamics simulations to model the structure and properties of bio-based self-healing resins, particularly those involving dynamic bonding (including hydrogen bonding). There is a growing focus in the resin area to develop bio-based alternatives to petroleum-based resin products. However, bio-based analogues can suffer from performance issues and the reasons to explain this are not always clear, due to the relative immaturity of these materials in comparison to their petroleum-based counterparts. Molecular simulations can predict the molecular-scale structure of these materials and enable clear links to their physical properties. In this project, a range of bio-based self-healing polymers will be considered, including Schiff-based polymers and bio-derived polyols for making bio-based polyurethanes. The insights from these molecular simulations will provide a strong complement to parallel experimental activities led by Prof Russell Varley.

Applicants are encouraged to contact Prof Walsh as soon as possible at [e-mail]. Due to the high volume of applications, applicants who do not meet the candidate specifications below cannot be guaranteed a reply.

Candidate specifications:

Essential

Demonstrated experience of computational chemistry, molecular simulation, and/or computational materials science

Outstanding communication skills in English, both spoken and written - minimum IELTS overall score of 6.5, no score below 6

First class or upper-second class undergraduate degree in a chemistry, physics or materials science

Desirable

Demonstrated experience in coding in Python or Fortran

Publication track record in international journals

Duration: 

Typically 3.5 years (full-time)

Important Date: Application deadline is end of March but appointment will be made as soon as possible

Funding Notes

The successful candidate will receive a full scholarship covering course fees and living costs, with an annual stipend of $28,600 AUD.

Investigating the impacts of environmentally relevant microplastic exposures on iconic wetland biota in a multi-stressor context

University of the West of Scotland: Health & Life Sciences

Application Deadline ：Wednesday, February 02, 2022

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

The University of the West of Scotland is one of eight Scottish Partner Institutions that forms SUPER DTP, The Scottish Universities Partnership for Environmental Research Doctoral Programme funded by NERC. Under this programme, we are pleased to offer a SUPER DTP project in collaboration with Heriott-Watt University.

It is now well established that MPs are ubiquitous global pollutants. However, evidence of harm is lacking since there is a mismatch between laboratory exposures to virgin/unweathered MPs of a single type and heterogenous MP assemblages found in natural systems. This has led to the potential toxicity of MPs to biota being extremely poorly defined, thereby hindering effective risk assessment. Biodiversity loss is occurring at an alarming rate and associations between declines and multiple interacting stressors have been demonstrated from a wide range of taxa, including insects, amphibians, birds and fish. Multiple stressors negatively impact the stability of entire ecosystems through alterations in species interactions. These effects are particularly pertinent for FW systems, which are amongst the most threatened on Earth, and which are predicted to lose 80 % of their biodiversity as a result of multiple stressors by 2050. However, the potential interactions of MPs with other ubiquitous environmental stressors remain virtually unknown. The aim of this project, therefore, is to investigate the effects of MPs in a multi-stressor context on freshwater biota (common frog, Rana temporaria).

If you are selected for an award, you will be expected to start on 3rd October 2022 and attend the following events in early October in Glasgow (dates to be confirmed):

• SUPER DTP induction event

• Annual Science meeting

You will also be enrolled in the SUPER Graduate School and onto the SUPER Post Graduate Certificate in Researcher Professional Development as well as UWS.

For informal enquiries,please email: 

[e-mail]

Interviews will be held on Thursday 10th February.

Funding

The 3½ year studentships cover:

• Tuition fees each year

• A maintenance grant each of around £15,000 per annum (for full-time study)

• Funding for research training

• Part-time study is an option, with a minimum of 50% of full-time effort being required.
