Two PhD scholarships are available for a 2027 start at Deakin University (Institute for Frontier Materials, Burwood Campus / Melbourne ) in research on polymer electrolytes for sodium batteries . The projects are supported by an Australian Research Council-funded project and focus on automated molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to screen poly(ionic liquid)-based materials . The research aims to identify molecular design strategies for highly conductive electrolytes with favourable mechanical pr...

This PhD scholarship opportunity at Monash University focuses on developing processing intelligence for green metals using advanced in situ X-ray characterisation and machine learning. Hosted by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering, the project aims to capture time-resolved structural and chemical changes during minerals-to-metals processing, including aqueous, electrochemical, thermal, and hybrid pathways. These processes are relevant to extracti...

The DOE Fusion Energy Sciences Postdoctoral Research Program offers recent and future doctoral degree recipients an opportunity to conduct research supporting the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science Fusion Energy Sciences mission. Postdoctoral fellows develop a proposed research project in collaboration with a suitable hosting facility and mentor. Research may address structural materials science and technology, plasma-facing components, plasma-material interactions, advancing confinem...

PhD opportunity at The University of Queensland in the School of Chemical Engineering, focused on engineering next-generation nanocatalysts for solar-driven production of methanol . The project targets the conversion of CO2 and CO from industrial emissions and by-products into methanol and related fuels via a photothermal pathway . Research will involve nanomaterials synthesis , catalyst design, and advanced characterisation to build robust structure–activity relationships. Students will gain ha...
