[交流] 【讨论】One PhD position in Zeolites Crystallography (ETH Zurich) 已有2人参与

PhD student position in powder diffraction/electron microscopy methodology

A PhD position, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, is available in the powder diffraction/zeolite crystallography research group. (http://www.crystal.mat.ethz.ch/r ... sPowderDiffraction)

The project is part of a larger one devoted to the development of methodology for the structure analysis of polycrystalline materials. Interest in the elucidation of the structures of novel zeolitic materials, in particular, provides the impetus for this work. However, the project is not restricted to zeolites. It also encompasses crystalline nanomaterials in general and may even expand to include the investigation of "real" materials with defect structures. The goal is to extend the present limits of structure solution for such materials by combining the complementary techniques of powder diffraction and electron microscopy.
In addition to method development, the project will entail data collection at synchrotron radiation facilities (ESRF and SLS), and collaborations with the electron microscopy center at ETH (EMEZ), an electron microscopy group in Stockholm and synthesis laboratories in several different countries. Applicants will be expected to take a lively interest in the materials and the crystallography and to have some computer science background. While experience in electron microscopy is not mandatory, it would be helpful.

Interested candidates with the equivalent of an ETH MSc in materials science, earth science, chemistry or physics are invited to send their curriculum vitae along with the names of two referees to

补充说明：
1、在ETH Zurich念博士，都有薪水，只要不过得奢侈，养活一家人没有问题；
2、苏黎世是国际化城市，英语交流没有问题；
3、瑞士生活质量高，不怎么排外，社会安定，福利不错；科研经费超多。

如还有疑问，可站内联系我，或跟贴询问，非诚勿扰。
