Graduate School "Structure, Reactivity and Properties of
Oxide Materials", Bayerisches Geoinstitut, Universitaet
Bayreuth, Bayreuth, Germany. PhD studentships are available
for students with a Masters degree (or equivalent) and a
strong quantitative background in material sciences,
physics, chemistry, the Earth Sciences or related fields for
the duration of three years in an International Graduate
School, that is funded by the "Bavarian Elite Network".
Students will be based either at the University of Bayreuth
(Bayerisches Geoinstitut or Institute for Inorganic
Chemistry) or at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate
Research in Wurzburg. Research projects will be
interdisciplinary, within the fields of Earth sciences (e.g.
mineral physics), solid-state chemistry and material
sciences, and will investigate relationships between crystal
structure, microstructure, reaction kinetics and
physical-chemical properties of oxide materials, including
silicates, using a range of synthesis, characterization and
simulation techniques. The Graduate ... minsocam.org/MSA/Job_Board.html - 26 kB
