PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Chemistry in New Zealand

The University of Otago’s Department of Zoology invites applications for a fixed-term, part-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in parasitology, marine pollution ecology, wildlife health and conservation biology. Funded by a Royal Society Te Apārangi Marsden Fast-Start grant titled “The gift of infection: using parasites to tackle marine pollution,” the project will investigate whether gastrointestinal parasites act as biofilters of environmental contaminants in marine ecosystems. The res...

PhD opportunity at the University of Waikato (Hamilton Campus, New Zealand) in high-entropy alloys , hydrogen storage , and atomic-scale modelling . The project investigates hydrogenation and dehydrogenation mechanisms in HEAs using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) simulations, with a focus on how composition and atomic-scale structure affect hydrogen absorption/desorption behaviour and the underlying thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms. This is an international collaboration in...

PhD opportunity at the University of Waikato, New Zealand in Building Resilient Coasts: Long-Term Dynamics of Nature-Based Solutions . This project focuses on the long-term evolution of coastal nature-based solutions (NbS) for reducing hazards such as storm surge, flooding, and erosion, while also considering ecological co-benefits. The research sits at the intersection of Earth Science , Environmental Science , Civil Engineering , and modelling-based coastal research, with possible emphasis on ...
