PhD Studentship :

Project title: “Materials printing for discovery of visible light photocatalysts”

PhD Supervisor: Dr Geoffrey Hyett          

Application Deadline: 1^st September 2016

PhD Description:  A PhD studentship in inorganic materials chemistry is available in the group of Dr Hyett to investigate the use of visible light photocatalysts for self-cleaning coatings. The project will involve both new materials discovery using an innovative inkjet printing route, and also testing of light activated self-cleaning for applications related to antimicrobial surfaces.

The project is funded for 3 years and welcomes applicants from the UK who have or expect to obtain at least an upper second class degree in Chemistry or allied subjects/relevant disciplines. Funding will cover fees and a stipend at current research council rates of £14,296 per annum.

Due to funding restrictions this position is only open to UK applicants
