Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD place in new generation corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy research at the Department of Materials, The University of Manchester.
Advanced aluminium alloys have a key role in the aerospace and automotive industries for structural components. This project is concerned with development of high strength aluminium alloys designed to provide better performance compared with existing alloys. The properties of this alloy depend on careful control of the microstructure, in particular the second phase particles and recrystallization. The project aims to understand the complex interactions between alloy chemistry, processing, microstructure and performance. The alloy microstructure will be characterised by using advanced high resolution electron microscopy. The relationship between the fabrication process parameters and the microstructure of the alloys will be investigated. The assessment of performance will be based on correlative accelerated laboratory testing and electrochemical measurements. The newly developed X-ray and electron-based nanotomography will also be employed to spatially determine the microstructural features that are responsible for the initiation and propagation of alloy degradation.
This project provides a unique opportunity to combine pioneering academic research with industrial experience. In addition to the access to state-of-the-art facilities, the student also has the opportunity to develop interdisciplinary skills and to work in a team environment involving over 10 PhD students and researchers, leading academics and industrial experts. The group runs regular seminars and social events in addition to those provided through the Centre for Doctoral Training The industrial collaborators will work closely with the student during the project and opportunities exist for gaining exposure to the industrial manufacturing environment in Europe and the US.
At the University of Manchester, we pride ourselves on our commitment to fairness, inclusion and respect in everything we do. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and identities, and encourage you to bring your whole self to work and study. We will ensure that your application is given full consideration without regard to your race, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, age, marital or pregnancy status, or socioeconomic background. All PhD places will be awarded on the basis of merit.

Selection and management of groundwater arsenic remediation approaches for improved water security in northern India
Application Deadline ：Monday, March 14, 2022
This project will be based at The University of Manchester with a 12-month stay at University of Melbourne.
Project description:
Introduction:
Globally, the contamination of groundwater from naturally-occurring arsenic is a major public health threat that impacts the health and livelihoods of millions of people, particularly in South/Southeast Asia. In India, groundwater arsenic is a major problem, particularly in the shallow, reducing aquifers of the Gangetic Basin, where groundwater reliance is increasingly high. Despite the prevalence of a number of remediation strategies, effective and sustainable implementation of these remains very challenging for a number of technical and non-technical reasons. Further, rapidly developing urban areas (such as Patna, Bihar) create unique challenges, such as high groundwater pumping rates (which may impact the hydrogeochemical controls on arsenic mobilisation), the presence of potential competing water quality risks, such as emerging organic contaminants, and highly variable socio-economic conditions, all of which may vary greatly on the local or regional scale. There is a clear need for improved decision support tools for the selection and management of arsenic remediation strategies, particularly in this context.
Project:
The aim of this PhD project is to contribute to the development and validation of a robust and effective toolkit for the selection and/or management of groundwater arsenic remediation strategies in arsenic-impacted areas of the Gangetic Basin in northern India (such as Patna). Example research questions include:
1. How can remediation selection be optimized for the geochemical (including groundwater composition, remediation targets) and socioeconomic settings typical to this region?
2. What are the best selection criteria for determining the optimal strategy/strategies for the removal of groundwater arsenic in this context?
3. How can selection strategies for arsenic remediation be adapted to other types of contaminants of contrasting geochemical behaviour (such as uranium, boron, emerging contaminants) and which may also be present in groundwater sources used for drinking?
Students are also highly encouraged to suggest their own related research questions. Detailed project design is flexible according to candidate interests and will involve one or more aspect of theoretical, field, laboratory and modelling approaches. Innovative and interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. Students will be strongly encouraged to develop effective pathways to impact of the research arising from the project.
Training opportunities:
Numerous researcher training and development opportunities are available and encouraged. There will be multiple opportunities for collaboration, presenting research and (co-)authoring scientific publications. The student will develop an excellent skillset – including scientific and analytical/technical skills - as well as key professional competencies like international collaboration, problem solving, critical thinking, communication, project management, self-management and teamwork.
Candidate skills:
Successful candidates will have a strong background (Masters / BSc) in environmental/chemical/geological sciences, environmental/chemical engineering or similar. Strong candidates will be highly motivated, independent, hard-working and curious, with a strong interest in research. Demonstrable experience in aspects of data analysis, fieldwork, laboratory work, problem solving, critical thinking and scientific writing is advantageous. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English are essential. Previous research experience is highly desirable.
Bioinformatics: using single-cell spatial transcriptomics and nanopore to understand complex disease
Application Deadline ：Applications accepted all year round
PhD position is available for a highly motivated trainee in the wet lab and dry lab at the Weatheritt Lab within the EMBL Australia and Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney.
Our research focuses on aims to investigating RNA regulatory mechanisms within neurodevelopmental disorders. We are a multi-disciplinary lab and candidates will have opportunities to learn both wet and dry skills (depending on interest and experience).
This EMBL Australia affiliated project offers the opportunity to do great science in one of the best genomics and transcriptomics biomedical centres in the world, and to combine that with a great lifestyle in one of the best cities in the world.
How to apply:
If you are interested, please send your c.v. and a cover letter explaining your interest in the lab to r.weatheritt@garvan.org.au. For international students, an international scholarship is required that is awarded on a competitive basis.
