The PhD student will work under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Nico Bruns on the engineering of enzymes for controlled radical polymerizations and on the development of polymerization-amplified activity assays for metalloenzymes-catalyzed radical polymerizations. Controlled radical polymerizations like ATRP are one of the most important developments of polymer chemistry in the last decades, as they....

A position for a PhD candidate will become available from January 2023 in the Ochsenreiter group at the Institute of Cell Biology of the University of Bern. Our lab i interested in mitochondrial organelle biogenesis using the single celled eukaryote Trypanosoma brucei as a model system. We use a combination of molecular biology, biochemistry and....
Title Design optimization of multifunctional structures via embodied intelligence Motivation In the effort towards a sustainable future, engineering systems will have to meet the most stringent requirements as well as respond and adapt to variable and harsh environmental conditions. A promising pathway to improve performance is to control mechanics via structural design at different length scales. This....
ABOUT THE PROJECT Two-dimensional (2D) materials of nanosized thickness are emerging building blocks for designing advanced materials with applications ranging from chemical separation to energy storage. This Ph.D project is centred around the development of advanced membrane materials with an emphasis on the development of 2D building blocks. POSITION DESCRIPTION International candidates to undertake a....

I am looking for a new MS/ PhD student in the at Texas Tech University, Department Plant and Soil Science Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute (FBRI) The research will focus....
Gas Hydrate reservoirs are the new source for the future needs of natural gas on a global scale. During dissociation and gas production, the reservoir compaction leads to a decrease in the porosity and permeability of the reservoir layer. The current project aims to better understand the compaction process using the cutting edge laboratory and....
Carbonaceous particles comprise a large fraction of the atmospheric aerosol and, therefore, badly affect climate and human health. However, only a small fraction could be identified and apportioned to emission sources so far. For this purpose, measurements with accelerator mass spectrometry of the long-lived radioisotope 14C (radiocarbon) have become a unique and powerful tool. You....
