Job Description:
Taiwan International Graduate Program (TIGP) PhD Studentship
Funded by the government, Academia Sinica
is the most prominent research institution in Taiwan. In 2002, in collaboration with a consortium of prominent local research universities, Academia Sinica established the Taiwan International Graduate Program (TIGP) that offers the following 9 highly specialized interdisciplinary PhD programs and a generous funding, a grant of
NT$32,000 (US$1050) per month, to each student for up to 3 years.

1. Chemical Biology and Molecular Biophysics (CBMB) Program : Under the leadership of the predecessor and the present program director, CBMB has become an excellent interdisciplinary program that stresses student training in basic sciences at the interface between chemistry/physics and biology. The 47 faculty members have expertise covering biochemistry, bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, biophysics and bioinformatics, carbohydrate synthesis, mass spectrometry, molecular biology, organic and medicinal chemistry and structural biology. Core courses provided are ‘Fundamental Chemical Biology and Molecular Biophysics’, ‘Experimental Molecular Biophysics’, and ‘Advanced Chemical Biology’.
2. Molecular Science and Technology (MST) Program focuses its research on the following topics: chemical dynamics,
dynamics in biological systems, dynamics in condensed media, linear and
nonlinear molecular spectroscopy and structures and dynamics of
clusters and nanoparticles. The spectroscopy section of this program
includes steady-state laser spectroscopy, magnetic resonance
spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and spectroscopy using
synchrotron light sources. The dynamics section consists of crossed
beam studies, photochemistry, and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy. Both
experimental and theoretical aspects of molecular spectroscopy and
dynamics are included in this program.
3. Molecular and Biological Agricultural Sciences (MBAS) Program pursues basic and applied research that has the potential to lead to
new platform technologies or develop into novel systems and/or
industrial applications in biotechnology. The program focuses on
regional agricultural needs; for example, on subtropical crop or flower
plant systems, and major infectious diseases affecting pig/chicken
farms and warm water marine products and the subtropical herbal plant
systems of Chinese traditional medicine.

Funding is available for a PhD studentship in the School of Engineering and Electronics, University of Edinburgh for a collaborative project with the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) constitute one of the most exciting developments in recent nanoporous-material s science, with
potential applications in many areas, including catalysis, gas separation and storage. The major advantage of MOFs over more traditional porous materials, such as zeolites, is the greater scope for tailoring these materials for specific applications due to their modular synthesis from corner units (generally metal ions or clusters)and linker units (organic molecules able to bridge the metal corners).

The project
Hydrogen is a potential future automotive fuel as well as an important
industrial feedstock. For fuel-cell applications, as well as in many industrial processes, high purity is required. The hydrogen required can be produced either by generating it from steam reforming or methanol cracking processes or by recovering it from hydrogen-rich process streams by adsorbing the impurities using pressure swing adsorption. Such streams are readily available in refineries and petrochemical plants and are sometimes burnt as a waste stream. The scope of this project is to design new adsorbents for hydrogen purification using computational and experimental methods.

The studentship
The studentship is available immediately for a period of 4 years. The studentships provide a tax-free EPSRC stipend (currently £12,600 per annum), plus university fees at the Home / EU rate. Additional funding might be available to cover the overseas fees for highly qualified non-EU citizens.

For this project, collaboration between the chemical engineers at the University of Edinburgh and the chemists at the University of St Andrews is a very important element and the successful candidates will spend significant periods of time at the partner institutions, learning about material synthesis and characterisation. The ability to be a team player and to work in close collaboration with a team of
chemical engineers and chemists is therefore essential.

The successful candidates will have a first class or 2.1 degree, or equivalent, in chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, or a related subject. As the project contains a substantial computational element, some programming experience in FORTRAN or a similar programming language is desirable though not essential.

For further information please contact Dr Tina Düren (+44 (0)131 6504856, tina.duren@ed. ac.uk).
