PhD Studentship
Experimental Investigation of Fluid Flow and Mass Transport in Heap Leaching
Imperial College London – Department of Earth Science and Engineering

A Rio Tinto studentship is being offered to an excellent student in Chemical Engineering, Minerals Processing or related disciplines. The studentship will cover all student fees, and also offers a tax-free stipend of approximately £15,590 per annum for the period 2010/2011. Applications will be considered from both local and overseas students.

Heap leaching is a process for extracting metals from ores. It is rapidly increasing in its usage due to lower operating and capital costs compared to more conventional extraction methods. Understanding the fluid flow and mass transport processes occurring within the heap is essential to improving its design and operation.

This project will be predominantly experimental and will involve the use of a variety of techniques to investigate fluid flow within heaps at both the laboratory and pilot scale. The candidate should have a good understanding of fluid dynamics and desirably some knowledge or experience of minerals processing.

Postgraduate Scholarship in Geobiosphere Science, Lund University, Sweden

The PhD project will focus on studies of marine sediments obtained from different upwelling regions across the globe. The aim of the project is to study relationships between primary productivity and the benthic environment in upwelling regions since the last deglaciation. We have previously documented large variations in primary productivity off NW Africa, so large that the benthic life was affected to a significant extent. The task at hand is to investigate if this was the case in other major upwelling areas as well. The project involves: sediment sampling, different kinds of laboratory work such as grain-size analyses, analyses of biogenic silica, organic carbon together with a large amount of micropaleontological analyses, foremost benthic foraminifera but also other groups of microfossils may come to mind. Participation in sea-going expeditions might be required.

The project belongs to LUCCI (Center for Studies of Carbon Cycle and Climate Interactions, LUCCI) at Lund University.

Eligibility/Entry Requirements
The applicant is expected to hold a university degree (preferably MSc. or equivalent) in Earth Sciences with a strong focus on Quaternary Geology or Marine Geology. A degree in biology with additional courses in Quaternary/Marine Geology might also be considered. The applicant needs to have finished a master or bachelor thesis at the time of appointment. Experience with scientific publication in English is an asset together with experience with micropaleontological work. Lab experience is of advantage although not strictly required.

Applications for this position should include a letter stating the reasons for applying and brief statements about ambitions in relation to the project. The application should also include a CV with general personal information and details of previous studies/work.

PhD Studentships, Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland

In the post-genomic era we now understand that genome sequences cannot answer many of the important questions in molecular biology, for example, how genetic information is translated into phenotype. The problem of deciphering genomic information is very complex and requires multidisciplinary approaches. Both computational and experimental tools, together with close collaboration of scientists working in different fields, are necessary to reach the main goal of understanding how genomes actually work.

Our International PhD program consists of ten PhD projects. Each student will be supervised by a PI from Adam Mickiewicz University and a distinguished foreign scientist. All projects encompass different approaches to functional genomics: from in silico prediction, via lab experiments, to behavioral studies. Each PhD student will receive a monthly stipend of 3000 PLN (not subject to income tax). The stipend will be extended to 4500 PLN when she/he carries out experiments abroad at one of our international partner universities.

The call for PhD students is open for candidates with MSc degree in life sciences including: biology, bioinformatics, biotechnology, agriculture, horticulture, biochemistry, biophysics and medical sciences, as well as for students of informatics, chemistry and physics.

The PhD Program From genome to phenotype: a multidisciplinary approach to functional genomics covers various aspects of bioinformatics and genomics:

  • Controlling of gene expression at the level of chromatin structure
  • Regulation of transcription initiation
  • MicroRNA (miRNA) and post-transcription regulation of gene expression
  • Interplay between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes
  • Molecular evolution of behavior
  • Computational modeling of biological processes: evolution, morphogenesis and behavior
