The Mowry group has currently two PhD projects available. Two PhD scholarships are available in the area of psychiatric genetics and second-generation- sequencing: Project 1: Investigating the role of micro-RNAs in Schizophrenia using Second Generation DNA Sequencing The successful applicant will seek to identify rare and novel microRNAs in brain tissue. This involves comparing miRNA [...]
‘Flow assurance’ is a key concern in the oil and gas industry, and refers to the need to guarantee the flow of oil/gas from reservoirs to processing plants in the face of a number of engineering challenges. Current research shows that nanotechnology has an important role to play. Crucial to the deployment of nanotechnology in [...]

The PhD project will investigate the transport of amorphous silica by rivers to the world?s oceans. Amorphous silica (ASi) mostly originates from biological uptake by plants. Plants take up dissolved silicate and deposit it as an amorphous form of silica called phytoliths. Phytoliths and ASi formed in soils enters aquatic ecosystems through litterfall and erosion. [...]
Job Description:An unsolved key question in condensed matter physics concerns the understanding of why and how materials go from fluid to disorded dynamically arrested states, so called glasses? Any liquid that is cooled fast enough to avoid the ordered crystalline state will form a glass which has a molecular structure almost identical to that of [...]
