The MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology at the Victoria University of Wellington (Wellington / New Zealand) is offering a PhD position, available from October 2010.

About the project

The research will be in the field of soft matter (complex fluids investigated by means of Rheo-NMR under high shear rates, application of multidimensional NMR methods) and porous materials (NMR velocimetry and diffusometry on fluids in complex pore systems, application of multidimensional Inverse Laplace techniques and high pulsed field gradients). The research to be undertaken concerns addressing fundamental questions related to soft matter and porous media as well as the development of the necessary NMR methodology.

Candidate requirements and position details

We seek applications from national and international students who have graduated in physics or chemistry, preferably with a background in NMR. The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to work in a well recognised NMR group (http://www.macdiarmid.ac.nz/nmr/) with strong national and international collaborations. The PhD position is fully funded (including fees) and enables one to stay in a well established academic (http://www.victoria.ac.nz/scps/index.aspx) as well as urban environment (http://www.wellingtonnz.com/).

How to apply

Please send your application (including the email addresses of two referees) together with a recent CV by email to Dr. Petrik Galvosas petrik.galvosas@vuw.ac.nz.
