CENTA 2027-B14 PhD Studentship in Atmospheric Chemistry of Hydrofluoroolefins: Spectroscopic and Computational Studies of Fluorinated Criegee Intermediates University of Birmingham in United Kingdom

The Hobday Group at the University of Edinburgh School of Chemistry is offering a PhD project on solid-state refrigerants, materials that can pump heat when squeezed and may provide alternatives to harmful refrigerant gases. The research will investigate why some materials show excellent solid-state refrigeration performance. The successful student will map the energetic pathways and molecular dynamics that control how these materials respond to pressure, building an understanding from the atomi...

[Full coverage of tuition fees and an annual tax-free stipend of £23,805 for Home, EU and International students.] This PhD studentship is based in Aeronautics at Imperial College London and focuses on the chemistry of aircraft contrails and their role in aviation’s climate impact. The project asks you to investigate how these artificial ice clouds may modify the atmosphere by providing surfaces for atmospheric chemistry, rather than only by affecting climate through their physical presence. You...
