魅影直播 the scholarship
The New Materials and Technologies Development Research Team led by Professor James Johnston is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate in chemistry, materials science or chemical engineering to contribute to research on the development, characterisation, applications, and manufacture of new materials and products derived from proprietary, nanostructured calcium silicate material. The project aims to develop more sustainable agricultural practices through novel controlled-release fertilisers, optimising nutrient availability to match plant demand and reducing nutrient run-off.
Entry requirements
Applicants must have completed a Master's degree or Bachelor's degree with Honours in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering, with First or Upper Second Class Honours (or similar), or an equivalent GPA score. Candidates must meet the entry requirements for a PhD degree in Chemistry or Engineering at Victoria University of Wellington and be able to commence their PhD programme by mid 2024.
