Research Scientist in Surface Science and Materials Lubrizol Limited in United Kingdom

The School of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews, in collaboration with industrial partner Johnson Matthey, is advertising 4 fully funded international PhD studentships in a platinum group metals (PGM) cluster. The cluster is focused on materials chemistry and aims to deliver cutting-edge advances in PGM-based materials and compounds, supported by state-of-the-art structural, physical, and microstructural characterisation facilities and links to central facilities. Research projects avail...

Lancaster University’s Chemistry Department is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship supervised by Prof John Griffin and Dr Xiao Hua . The project is part of the Faraday Institution PhD Training Programme and focuses on local structure and ion ordering in high-performance materials for lithium-ion batteries . The research centres on disordered rocksalts (DRXs) as next-generation cathode materials. DRXs have crystalline structures but lack long-range ordering of lithium and transition metal ...

A PhD studentship is available in the research group of Professor Christopher Baddeley at the University of St Andrews, in collaboration with BASF (Ludwigshafen, Germany). The project sits in surface science and heterogeneous catalysis , with a focus on understanding how additives influence the surface of the active metal in heterogeneous fixed-bed hydrogenation catalysts. The research will involve detailed characterisation of catalyst structure, composition, and surface chemistry during and aft...

PhD opportunity in surface chemistry and advanced material characterization at the University of St Andrews , School of Chemistry, in partnership with BASF . The project focuses on investigating fixed-bed hydrogenation catalysts and is described as a highly technical research role with strong emphasis on XPS , electron microscopy , and ultrahigh vacuum systems . This makes it a strong fit for applicants interested in chemistry, materials science, catalysis, and industrially relevant research. Th...

PhD fellowship/scholarship at Aarhus University in the Department of Chemistry , working in the Interfaces and Catalysis group with Professor Jeppe V. Lauritsen on surface science , electrocatalysis , and CO₂ reduction . The project focuses on how dual-atom catalysts can improve selectivity in electrochemical CO₂ conversion into higher-value chemicals. The research combines catalyst synthesis/design with advanced surface characterization to understand catalytic processes at the atomic scale. You...
