帮俺的爱尔兰博士导师发布一则全奖博士招生信息：


development of flow based biocatalytic reactors
ph.d. studentship

the synthesis and solid state pharmaceutical centre (sspc) is a research centre hosted at the university of limerick and funded by science foundation ireland (total budget of over €60 million). sspc carries out research to better understand mechanisms, control processes and predict outcomes for the efficient and environmentally sustainable production of medicines.

applications are invited for a phd studentship, funded by sspc, based in the bioelectrochemistry and biocatalysis group in the bernal institute at the university of limerick. the project, under the supervision of prof. e. magner, will develop flow biocatalytic reactors that can be utilised singly or in sequence to perform biochemical transformations of substrates of interest in the preparation of pharmaceutical materials. the project will entail preparing and characterising a range of materials, such as mesoporous silicates (1, 2), metal organic framework materials (3) and nanoporous gold (4-8)) for the directed immobilisation (9) of enzymes in flow systems that will be utilised as reactors in sample reactions such as those listed below:

the successful candidate will join a well-equipped research laboratory in the bernal institute. the institute houses a multidisciplinary team of over 350 scientists (chemistry, materials science, physics and biochemistry) and engineers (mechanical, aeronautical, biomedical, manufacturing and electronic) who undertake research in the design, synthesis, processing, characterization, modification, modeling and application of materials. the institute is comprised of 20,000 m2 of contiguous, modern purpose-built offices and laboratories, representing an investment of >€100 m.

applicants should have, or expect to have, a first class or upper second class honours degree (b.sc.) or a masters degree in chemistry, biochemistry or chemical engineering (or a related field). the successful candidate will have good laboratory skills, the ability to work independently and to work collaboratively as part of a research group.

the laboratory has all of the equipment necessary for the preparation, characterisation and utilisation of a wide range of support materials for the immobilisation of enzymes. in addition to the collaborative network in sspc, the group has extensive international collaborative linkages and typically host an average of 2-3 international researchers each year. research secondments to other laboratories (in sspc academic and industry partners) are planned, while secondments to current collaborators (tu delft, u. cagliari) are also possible the  successful candiate will enrol in the structured phd programme at the university and, as appropriate, take advanced technical modules together with a series of modules on transferable skills.

the position is fully funded for four years with a stipend of €18,000 per annum and payment of tuition fees. informal enquiries can be addressed to edmond.magner@ul.ie. applications should be sent to edmond.magner@ul.ie. as a pdf document consisting of a curriculum vitae with full details of the academic course and grades received, contact details of two referees who have knowledge of the academic work and capabilities of the candidate together with a letter of application outlining the candidate’s interest in the position. the position is available immediately. the sucessful candidate will ideally commence their studies by late autumn, 2019.

多谢大家的积极回复，这几天也帮导师看了一下几份简历。下面解释一下一些大家关心的问题：
工资水平：一个月应该是1千5百欧。学校在一个小地方，房租很便宜，扣除生活费用后，每个月工资剩一半很正常。
学校科研水平及排名：ul是个新学校，1970s才建校，qs排名500-600，国内的一些985学校就在这个水平。学院里有两个爱尔兰的国家级研究中心，有爱尔兰水平最高的sem和stem，各种表征设备齐全，且都整合在了一个楼上。
爱尔兰：欧盟国家，美国的小弟，说英语的国家，民风朴实彪悍，整体比较友好。读博四年，可以很好的提高自己的英语水平。唯一对中国人不利的是爱尔兰不在申根区，出去旅行办签证比较麻烦。
入学语言要求：理论上学校要求雅思成绩，总分6.5，单科不低于6.但实际上只要导师同意接收了，就不会被这些卡住。比如招收的欧盟的学生，比如意大利、德国的学生连雅思是什么都不是很清楚。
遴选准则：希望能表现出比较好的学术潜力，如果有国内的硕士学位的话，有两篇sci论文已经发表的同学，应该很有机会。

不是很经常上小木虫，回复大家有点慢，请不要介意。

大家好，很抱歉的说，这个位置的offer已经发出去了。感谢大家的兴趣。

如果有对俺博导的研究课题很感兴趣的，可以联系他申请2020年度的爱尔兰政府奖学金（Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Programme）。大致是9月份开始申请，2020年3月份出结果，2020年9月份入学。非常适合2020年夏天毕业的本科或者硕士研究生。奖学金是四年，生活费足够在爱尔兰生活。这是2019年的链接：http://research.ie/funding/goipg/。
