[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]Two PhD positions are available in organometallic chemistry and catalysis at DTU Chemistry.
Project description The purpose of the first project is to study the dehydrogenation and decarbonylation of alcohols and polyalcohols with transition metal catalysts. The project is part of a larger strategic research project funded by the Danish Council for Strategic Research where the aim is to develop new methods for converting biomass into fuels and energy.
The purpose of the second project is to study new aspects of the Grignard addition reaction as well as the dehydrogenative coupling between alcohols and amines. The project is funded by the Torkil Holm Foundation and DTU Chemistry.
Applicants should indicate if one of the two positions is preferred. Both positions will be available from 1 October 2010 or soon thereafter.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a master's degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering.

2 PhD positions in inorganic chemistry and electrochemistry of materials for sustainable energy
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]2 PhD fellowships are available in Energy and Materials Science Group at Department of Chemistry, DTU. The group has for decades been involved development of fundamental materials and technologies for sustainable energies, i.e. fuel cells and electrolysers.
The project is part of a newly established Danish-Chinese Centre for Intermediate Temperature Proton Conducting Systems, jointly financed by the Danish National Research Foundation, the National Natural Science Foundation of China and DTU.
The positions are in the area of (1) solid proton conducting electrolytes based on inorganic and/or inorganic-organic composite materials, (2) key technologies for fabrication of membranes, electrodes, and membrane-electrode-assemblies for fuel cells and electrolyser cells.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a master degree in chemistry or chemical engineering with a strong theoretical and especially experimental background in inorganic, electrochemistry or materials chemistry. Working experience in the field is preferred.
