PhD Studentship Opportunities at QUB


A number of exciting research opportunities are available at the Queen's
University that will take advantage of new refurbishment and equipment
funded through a ?2.4M SRIF investment. These include state-of-the-art
facilities in: Environmental Tracers, Environmental Geotechnics, Shallow
Geophysics and Isotope Biogeochemistry and Mass Spectrometry.

The following studentship is available for immediate start:

.       Carbon isotope systematics for natural attenuation and risk
assessment of contaminated land (EPSRC funded)


Applications are currently being accepted for the following PhD research
opportunities:

1.      Environmental Forensics
2.      Regional water resource management in China
3.      Field tracing of groundwater with 'intelligent' tracers
4.      Dating young groundwaters for aquifer vulnerability and
sustainability (14CHRONO funded)
5.      Assessing the integrity of slurry walls as part of a Sequenced
Reactive Barrier using cross-borehole seismic and electrical resistivity
tomography
6.      Numerical study of particle-base solutions to the
advection-dispersion-reaction equation for contaminant transport
7.      Stable isotope methods in Forensic Science
8.      Inverse modelling of regional scale systems for the EU Water
Framework Directive
9.      Biogeochemical and isotopic evidence for in-situ microbial
bioremediation
10.     Evaluation of the global budget of the ozone depleting gases
MeBr and MeCl using stable isotope methods
11.     Biochemistry and bioremediation of heterocyclic compounds

Applicants must have, or expect to obtain a 2.1 honours degree (or its
equivalent)
