Posicion postdoctoral, Queen's University Belfast, Reino Unido



Applications are invited for a 4-year EPSRC-funded postdoctoral position,
starting 1 November 2014, to carry out theoretical and computational work
in the field of bulk nanobubble dispersions.



Nanobubble dispersions are a novel type of nanoscale bubble system. Their
most peculiar characteristic is the remarkable longevity of the bubbles of
which they are composed.  Existing theories predict that bubbles this small
should dissolve extremely quickly but in nanobubble suspensions tiny bubbles
persist for  weeks and even months. Thus, to fully exploit the potential
benefits of nanobubble suspensions, major developments are needed in the
science underpinning their existence and behaviour. The overall aim of this
project is to study the underlying mechanisms by which these nanobubble
dispersions come to exist and persist, and to explain some of their unusual
properties using a combination of both experimental and theoretical work.



Applicants should have a PhD in Chemistry, Physics or another relevant subject.
A good background in Statistical Mechanics, computer simulation and computer
programming is essential. Experience in molecular dynamics simulation of liquids,
cavitation, and parallel computing, are also highly desirable. The candidate will
be based at Queen University Belfast, and will collaborate closely with
researchers at Daresbury Laboratory and in the Department of Chemical
Engineering at the University of Birmingham, where the experimental part of
this project will be carried out. The project also involves collaboration with
industry.



Applicants should complete an online application form, available from the
following website: https://hrwebapp.qub.ac.uk/tlive_webrecruitment/wrd/run/ETREC107GF.open?VACANCY_ID=6268994czz&WVID=6273090Lgx&LANG=USA,
providing an up-to-date CV, a letter of motivation, and the names and contact
details of at least three academic referees.



Informal enquiries may be directed to Prof. Jorge Kohanoff
(j.kohanoff en qub.ac.uk<mailto:j.kohanoff en qub.ac.uk><mailto:j.kohanoff en qub.ac.uk><mailto:j.kohanoff en qub.ac.uk>) or Dr Gareth Tribello
(g.tribello en qub.ac.uk<mailto:g.tribello en qub.ac.uk><mailto:g.tribello en qub.ac.uk><mailto:g.tribello en qub.ac.uk>)



Anticipated interview date: Wednesday 10 September 2014



Salary scale: £31,342 - £37,394 per annum, depending on experience.



Closing date: 20 August 2014
