Location: ANU, Canberra

Stipend: $28092 pa for up to 3.5 years (indexed every year by 2-3%)

I am seeking a PhD student with the equivalent of a First Class Honours or Master’s degree in physical chemistry, physics, chemical engineering or an equivalent discipline to participate in an Australian Research Council Discovery Project on unravelling the dominant drivers of ion specificity.

This exciting PhD project involves collaboration between highly successful research teams in the Research School of Physics at the ANU, The University of Newcastle and Flinders University. The student will have a unique opportunity to contribute towards new knowledge in the fields of colloid and interface science and soft condensed matter. In particular they will participate in an experimental program to better understand the fundamentals of ion specific effects, in particular how ions partition at interfaces. Ion specific effects are ubiquitous in soft matter systems including biology and in a diverse range of industry relevant and commercial fluids so improved fundamental understanding will have wide impact. 

 About you:

To be successful in the role, you will have:

• Bachelor Honours (First Class) or Master’s degree in Physical Chemistry,  Physics, Engineering or equivalent.
• Determination 

How to apply and further information

In the first instance you should email Professor Vincent Craig directly at vince.craig@anu.edu.au, to express interest. In your email describe you motivation to apply for the position.

I would also like to see your CV and a copy of your academic transcripts with all subjects studied and grades obtained.

The ANU and I, value diversity and inclusion and we are committed to providing equal opportunities to those of all backgrounds and identities. 

Applications will be held open until the position is filled.
