Project: Synthesis of High Value Products from Renewable Electricity (SILVER)
The main objective of the project is obtaining an efficient (photo)electrochemical device for the direct conversion of water or organic waste (i.e.: glycerol) into added value products for the chemical industry and H2 as an energy vector using exclusively renewable electricity. For this purpose, an exhaustive program based on synthesis, functional characterization, optical and electrochemical analysis will be carried out using a wide library of analytical, microscopic and spectroscopic tools (SEM, TEM, EIS, SEC, Raman, GC-MS, NMR, HPLC, etc.) assisted by theoretical calculations to achieve a functional device at the end of the project.
Supervisor: Sixto Giménez Juliá
The purpose of this call is to grant scholarships for the training of research personnel (from countries not belonging to the European Union) at the Institute of Advanced Materials, Universitat Jaume I, Castelló, Spain (www.inam.uji.es).
These scholarships are open to people fulfilling the following requirements within the period of submission of applications:
a) A degree from a non-European university in the field of the sciences corresponding to the area of research to which the applicant is applying.
b) Having obtained a degree after 1st of January 2016
c) Knowledge of spoken Spanish or English adequate for the development of the tasks involved in the proposed training.
d) Not being in possession of a PhD.
e) To meet the academic requirements needed to the admission in a doctoral program at the selection date (5 years Science degree or Science degree+ Master Degree). The admitted candidates have to be registered in a doctoral program of Universitat Jaume I at the time of recruitment.
f) The MD degree in Science required are: physics, chemistry, materials...
The principal researcher is Sixto Giménez Juliá (sjulia@uji.es)
The period of validity covered by the scholarships is for a maximum of 4 years or until defending the PhD Thesis. The scholarship is also granting with a year postdoctoral orientation period for those pre-doctoral researchers who obtain the doctoral degree, prior to the start of the last year.
The scholarship includes an additional allocation of 1.600 euros in the first year, which is addressed to cover the travel and establishment expenses in Valencian Community.
One PDF file should be submitted which includes:
i) a motivation letter
ii) CV including a description of previous research experience.
iii) names of two potential academic referees
Deadline: 1st of June 2021
