earth sciences
Doctoral School of Earth Sciences

Thesis supervisor: Viktória Kovácsné Kis
co-supervisor: Tibor Németh
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Centre for Energy Research, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA EK)
Abbreviation of location of studies: MTA


Description of the research topic:

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods have a paramount role in the investigation of mineral nanoparticles and nanominerals of environmental importance (e.g. clay minerals, poorly crystalline Fe-(oxy) hydroxide, atmospheric nanoparticles). During the research programme the PhD candidate will investigate mineral structures and reactions at the nanometre scale, in close collaboration with the research group of Dr. Péter Sipos at Institute for Geological and Geochemical Research, HAS with the aim of a deeper understanding of their behaviour and environmental impact. His/her task will be to gain experience in the setup and working principles of the TEM, sample requirements and sample preparation methods, to plan and realize experiments independently. The exact research topic will be outlined after personal interview with the candidate.

Required language skills: english (at least B2 level)
Number of students who can be accepted: 1

Deadline for application: 2017-05-31
