NCN Research Scholarship for a PhD Student in Physics Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin in Poland

[Competition-funded dual award PhD studentship under the UoM-Peking University scheme; applicants are instructed to enter 'Dual award funding'.] This PhD project sits at the intersection of electronic structure theory, magnetism, and functional molecular materials. The student will work on developing improved density functional approximations for challenging organic conjugated systems where magnetic effects make standard density functional theory less reliable. The central aim is to design a mor...

PhD studentship at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Engineering on experimental investigation of phase change mechanisms in aircraft contrail formation . This fully funded project is part of the Leverhulme Trust research programme Bridging the scale gap: From non-equilibrium thermodynamics to contrails . The research combines laboratory experiments with high-fidelity numerical modelling to study vapour-liquid-solid phase transitions in aircraft exhaust plumes, with relevance to s...

This PhD project at the Department of Chemistry, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) explores how batteries work and fail at the molecular level, with the goal of informing better materials for safer, longer-lasting, higher-performing energy storage. The research combines magnetic resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with electrochemical methods to investigate battery materials and components in a non-destructive, chemically specific way. You will help develop and apply a suite of NM...
