Leave a comment

Application Deadline: Applications accepted all year round

LOCATION: Australia

The School of Chemical Engineering of the University of Adelaide is pleased to offer two prestigious PhD positions focused on transport phenomena in porous media. This research, grounded in applied mathematics, involves the development of exact and asymptotic solutions to non-linear partial differential equations. The work has significant industrial and environmental implications, including applications in CO₂ and hydrogen storage, filtering, aquifer contamination, well stimulation, and Enhanced Oil Recovery.

ELIGIBILITY:

They invite applications from outstanding candidates with an MSc or MEng in Engineering, who possess a robust mathematical foundation, or those holding an MSc in Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, or Theoretical Physics.

A strong publication record will be considered an advantage.

Interested candidates should submit their CV and a list of publications with impact factors of the journals, with IELTS/Toefl certificate,  in English, to pavel.bedrikovetski@adelaide.edu.au andlukas.gerstweiler@adelaide.edu.au” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”> lukas.gerstweiler@adelaide.edu.au .

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE PHD STUDENTSHIP IN MICROBIOLOGY

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: Saturday, October 24, 2026

LOCATION: England

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship (home or international) in microbiology under the supervision of Professor Erwin Reisner within the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. The studentship targets the top candidates worldwide to join our international research team on a 4-year scholarship starting in October 2027.

ELIGIBILITY:

The Reisner Laboratory develops innovative technologies to convert solar energy into sustainable fuels and organic platform chemicals for a circular economy using a unique cross-disciplinary and collaborative approach.

Working with and learning from an experienced team of cross-disciplinary scientists, the PhD student will engineer live cells to convert carbon dioxide and other feedstock chemicals into bespoke complex chemicals. In a collaborative project, these cells will be interfaced with light-harvesting semiconductor systems that will provide the feedstock chemicals consumed by the cells to enable semi-artificial photosynthesis of organic chemicals. This research will thereby develop biohybrid technologies with the outcomes to be published in top-tier academic journals.

More information about the laboratory and project can be found here:

Website Reisner Laboratory: https://www-reisner.ch.cam.ac.uk

Publication on biohybrid system using green H2: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41929-022-00817-z

Publication on biohybrid system using green formate: https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6c03677

They invite applications from candidates who hold, or expect to obtain, the equivalent of a UK first-class Master’s or honours degree in Microbiology, Biochemistry or a closely related discipline. The application deadline is 2 November 2026.

Applicants should submit the following documents by email to pa-reisner@ch.cam.ac.uk:

A cover letter outlining their motivation for applying and describing their specific research interests.

A detailed curriculum vitae (CV).

Full academic transcripts.

In addition, applicants must submit a formal application, including reference letters, via https://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/pgapp/how-apply.

For any queries, please contact Gioia Gregori at pa-reisner@ch.cam.ac.uk.
