Two PhD Scholarships in Chemistry at Murdoch University

Research topic: The PhD projects are aimed at investigating the dissolution and precipitation of inorganic minerals, and the mechanism of porosity development during mineral precipitation. The projects involve hydrothermal experiments and characterization, thermodynamic and kinetic analyses, and molecular dynamic simulation. The PhD projects are funded by the Australian Research Council and may use state-of-the-art facilities at the Australian Synchrotron in Melbourne, European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in France, and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in Perth. The details of the projects can be tailored to suit the interests and background of the successful candidate.

Supervisors: Assoc. Prof. Fang Xia (Murdoch University), John Curtin Distinguished Prof. Andrew Putnis (Murdoch University; Curtin University; University of Münster, Germany), and Dr. Yuan Mei (CSIRO, Perth, Australia), and will collaborate with top scientists, Prof. François Renard (University of Oslo, Norway) and Distinguished Prof. Allan Pring (Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia). Murdoch University, Curtin University, and CSIRO are located in Perth, a beautiful coastal city in Australia and is one of the most liveable cities in the world. You may apply for PR after graduation.

Full scholarship: AUD$62,052-69,052/year for up to 3.5 years, including tuition fee $33,960/year, and tax-free living allowance AUD $28,092-35,092/year.

Eligibility: The candidate should have completed or nearly complete a Master degree in Chemistry, with a strong knowledge in inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry, an excellent research potential evident by publications. Minimum English requirement is IELTS (Academic) overall 6.5 with no band less than 6.0 or TOEFL overall 90 with no band less than 20.

How to apply: To apply, please send your application documents in English, including a full CV (list the publications and contact details of three referees), undergraduate and postgraduate academic transcripts, and IELTS / TOEFL report to Assoc. Prof. Fang Xia (f.xia@murdoch.edu.au) with the subject line "PhD Scholarship Application-Your full name".
