Joint PhD Studentship

Applications are invited for a fully-funded 4-year PhD studentship, leading to the award of a PhD with the opportunity to study both in the UK and in Singapore.

The aim of the joint PhD project is to investigate the hybrid plasma-catalysis technology for the conversion of carbon containing compounds (e.g. CH4, CO2) into value-added fuels and chemicals such as hydrogen and methanol in an energy efficient and sustainable way.

This project is part of a 4-year dual PhD programme between the University of Liverpool (UoL, http://www.liv.ac.uk/electrical-engineering-and-electronics/) in the UK and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the leading Research Institute in Singapore (http://www.a-star.edu.sg/). The successful candidate will spend 2 years in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics at the University of Liverpool, and 2 years at A*STAR, within the Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences (ICES).

For the 2 years spent at UoL, funding is available to cover the home or international tuition fee, depending on the student’s residency status, as well as a stipend of up to ￡15,000 per annum. For the period spent at A*STAR, the student will be supported by the A*STAR Research Attachment Program (ARAP), subject to its terms and conditions. The ARAP scheme provides a monthly stipend of up to S$2,500, medical insurance, a one-time settling- in allowance of S$1,000, and one-time airfare grant of S$1,500.

A degree (First or Upper Second 2.1, prefer a Master’s degree) in Plasma Physics, Catalysis, Physical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or equivalent, is required. It is intended that the post will begin on 1st October 2014.

Please send your full CV (including contact details of two referees) and a statement expressing your interest to Dr. Xin Tu (xin.tu@liv.ac.uk).
