<b class="">2 fully funded 3.5 year PhD studentships, APPLICATION DEADLINE: 31 January 2019</b><br class="">
<div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div>
<div class="">I am seeking motivated applicants for 2 PhD studentships currently open in my research group (<a href="https://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/anke.neumann/" class="">https://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/anke.neumann/</a>), which focuses on redox processes at the
mineral-water interface and how these processes impact water quality. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><i class=""><u class="">Project 1:</u> Harnessing microbially mediated redox processes for sustainable water treatment</i></div>
<div class="">This project will be carried out in collaboration with Dr James Kitson (<a href="https://www.ncl.ac.uk/nes/staff/profile/jameskitson" class="">https://www.ncl.ac.uk/nes/staff/profile/jameskitson</a>) and is funded by EPSRC.</div>
