[Denmark] PhD Scholarships at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) 2010

DTU offers PhD studentships 2010 in five programmes there are Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Chemistry, Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering, Electronics, Communication and Space Science, Construction, Production, Civil Engineering and Transport, and Life Science.

organized into five PhD programmes that may have different requirements. The programmes are made up of a number of participating DTU departments/PhD schools that have organized thematically around specific research fields.

PhD programme committees
Each PhD programme is overseen by a committee. One of the responsibilities of the committees is to ensure a high scientific standard and that each PhD student receives a comprehensive and well-integrated education.

Research Schools

Each PhD programme can have a number of research schools that cover a specific area. The specific research areas can be determined by scientific discipline, by application or method, or be determined by research objective and thus be multidisciplinary.

Individual PhD study plan
Each PhD student is enrolled under one of the five PhD programmes and will have to follow the particular set of regulations that apply to that programme. Each PhD student must have an approved study plan. The study plan must be approved by the PhD programme committee.

How soon can you begin?

You can be admitted as a PhD student at DTU at any time of the year. The PhD student may start in the month academic approval is given and when DTU’s Office for Budget and Accounting has approved the funding plan.

Denmark: PhD Scholarship at Technical University of Denmark 2010-2013

Technical University of Denmark offers PhD Vacancy or Scholarship in Environmental assessment of CO2 contamination in shallow aquifers.

Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship in the area of groundwater geochemistry related to potential effects of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) The PhD position will be funded by the Danish Council for Strategic Research, in the research project Environmental Technology For Geological Storage Of Carbon Dioxide running 2010-2013.

Project description

The need to reduce the rise in the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere has initiated the development of techniques aiming at reducing the CO2 emission from power plants and other point sources. One of these techniques is to capture CO2 at the point source and then inject it in pressurized form as a supercritical liquid into depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, in the deep ocean or in deep saline aquifers. Little attention has so far been paid on the possible impacts of CO2 storage on the shallow groundwater systems which frequently are exploited for drinking water and feed streams and wetlands. The acidification caused by CO2 entering the aquifer from below could mobilize trace metals and the higher levels of bicarbonate might desorb phosphate and arsenate deteriorating drinking water and surface water quality. Increased rates of mineral dissolution could increase aquifer permeability leading to rapid transport of contaminants. Field based studies elucidating these aspects are clearly needed.

The PhD project will investigate the consequences of high CO2 concentrations entering into aquifers through a combination of laboratory column experiments and field experiments in aquifers. Geochemical modeling should be an integral part of the experimental planning and interpretation and extrapolation of the results.

Qualifications

For this position we seek a PhD candidate with a Master’s degree in aquatic geochemistry or a related field. Experience with laboratory and field investigations as well as geochemical modeling will be advantageous. We expect good communication skills, both verbally and in writing. The position is open to both international and Danish candidates.

The PhD project will be carried out at DTU Environment www.env.dtu.dk in close collaboration with GEUS (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland) (www.geus.dk)

Approval and Enrolment

The PhD candidate will be enrolled at the Technical University of Denmark, DTU Environment and be part of the large and divers group of PhD students there. The full scholarship will be for an enrollment period of 3 years.

The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in the Chemistry, Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering PhD programme at DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.

Salary and appointment terms

The salary and appointment terms (3 years) are consistent with the current rules for PhD students.

The successful candidate will be expected to start as soon as possible after May 1st, 2010.
