Challenging PhD projects Available in the Netherlands
June 17, 2009Challenging PhD projects Available in the Netherlands
Three PhD Positions in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry/Homogeneous Catalysis at the van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Applications are welcomed for 3 PhD positions in the group of Supramolecular & Homogeneous Catalysis, led by Professor Dr. Joost Reek. Overarching themes of the projects are: i) bifunctional activation of biorenewables as a green concept in homogeneous catalysis, ii) new, adaptive ligand systems for the hydroamination of alkenes and related activation processes and iii) bioinspired, photocatalytic production of H2 using NiFe-hydrogenase active site models. The projects will initially entail (in)organic synthesis and coordination chemistry while gradually homogeneous catalysis and e.g. spectroscopic investigations will also become important aspects. The research group is relatively young, ambitious and well-known for new concepts and approaches in (supramolecular) homogeneous catalysis. Lab-facilities are of excellent modern standards. The successful, eager applicants (M/F) should have excellent qualifying degrees in Chemistry with significant experience in synthetic (in)organic chemistry and interest in high-level research in a friendly, competitive environment. Due to grant restrictions, only residents of american and EU countries and associated states are eligible. Other students are strongly discouraged to apply. Good knowledge of English is required. The University of Amsterdam offers a 4-year PhD program, with an initial appointment for 1.5 years. Starting dates are flexible; positions are open from present till filled. Please send applications to Dr. J.I. van der Vlugt by e-mail (j.i.vandervlugt@uva.nl), including cover letter, CV, two recommendation letters and research interests.

Dear sir,i have done my M.Sc. in Human Biology.I am in great need of scholarship for Phd/M.phil.at UK,so as to continue my study and go in a research field.
I have a BA degree in English, I have another BA degree in Management, and I have masters’ degree in curriculum, all from Addis Ababa University of Ethiopia. If I get full scholarship I want to study your offer.
Dear Sir:
I am from Ethiopia. I studied chemistry in BSc and MSc. (Inorganic chemistry) in Addis Ababa University. At present I am Inorganic Chemistry Lecturer in Hawassa University.
In Academic areas: Advising students in different project work and laboratory activities, teaching different inorganic chemistry courses, writing Modules…etc
My Research Topic of MSc study: Synthesis and Characterization of Cu (II), Cu (I) and Zn (II) Polymeric Macrocyclic Complexes as Potential Catalytic, Anti Fungal and Anti Bacterial Activities.
Experiences in Administrative Activities: Four (4) Years as a Student Dean, Two(2) Years as a Main Campus Administrator, Three (3) Years as Campus Beautification Head related to Environmental Protection through Planting different trees and grass (about 30,000 trees were planted within these three years)… etc.
Sir, if I have been given a chance to study my PhD under you Supervision:
I will send proposals on the: Social, Economical and Health Impacts of Pesticide in Ethiopia.
Thank you
Dear : All
How are you ?
My name is Sisay Gobessa 28 years of age. I am from Ethiopia. I have a bachelor Degree in Animal Production And Range Land Management from Debub university ,plus Currently I am studying MSc in Animal productionat Haramaya Univesity ,and Development management in bachalor of art from Alpha university . I had worked in one of Ethiopian state Agricultural bureau and I have a 3(three) years work experience . I have a great desire to continue my future education to MSc, PHD level fields related to development study animal production, fish, bee keeping or Environmental science.To deliver & perform my responsibility fully to the rate that my country expected & to participate in the development endeavors of my country by making myself part of the solution I need further education. Hence it is my firm motive to study my MSc or PHD in Development study animal production, fish, bee keepingor Environmental Science. So please make me a beneficiary in your program education by allowing me a scholarship since I have no enough financial situation to learn in my own capacity.
I look forward to hearing from you soon
if possible would you guide me the way ?
