PhD Studentship in Chemical Engineering - University College
PhD Studentship: Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award
Modelling Rupture of CO2 Pipelines
Department of Chemical Engineering
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is considered to be the most effective
way of tackling the effects of global warming. This will require the
large-scale capture, transportation and storage of CO2. In the case of
coal fired power generation plants, pressurised pipelines are considered
to be the most practical, and possibly the only option for transporting
the captured CO2 for subsequent storage.
Given the enormous amounts of CO2 contained in such pipelines (typically
several million tonnes), a prior knowledge of the release rate and
subsequent dispersion in the event of pipeline rupture is central to
assessing the failure impact. CO2 is toxic and when inhaled in large
concentrations can lead to asphyxiation.
This exciting PhD project aims to extend our award winning work
(http://www.ucl.ac.uk/chemeng/staff/mahgerefteh) to develop a computer
based model for predicting the failure consequences of CO2 pipelines.
The project carried out in close collaboration with a major industrial
partner is multidisciplinary involving a variety of subjects including,
fluid mechanics, mathematics, heat transfer, quantitative risk
assessment and computing. The experience gained is expected to equip the
prospective PhD graduate with job opportunities in a variety of
industrial sectors particularly in the oil and gas industry.
The successful candidate will be an outstanding First Class Chemical
Engineering or Mathematics graduate (although other relevant disciplines
will be considered) preferably with computing skills. The funding covers
full tuition fees plus maintenance over three years and is open to
suitably qualified overseas students.
UCL is consistently classed amongst the top Universities in the world.
The UCL Chemical Engineering department in particular received the
highest research rating in the most recent Government funded Research
Assessment Exercise placing it amongst the only three such departments
in the UK.
C.V's should be sent either by post or email as soon as possible to:

PhD Studentship in Programme Management - Cranfield Universit
PhD Studentship
The mindsets of effective programme office managers: A phenomenographic study
International Centre for Programme Management
Cranfield School of Management - one of Europe's top management schools - is
offering this PhD studentship within its International Centre for Programme
Management, a world-leading hub for research into this important emerging
discipline. The studentship is tenable for four years from October 2008.
In business and government, programmes are used to transform strategies and
policies into desired outcomes and benefits. The 'programme office' is the
information hub for the programme, performing on behalf of the programme
leadership team a variety of functions associated with programme support. Some
programme offices have wider responsibilities for the maintenance of corporate
standards and processes.
There is a growing recognition that the role of programme office manager
requires an individual with a certain mindset, but little is known about the
conceptual attributes that make up that mindset. Phenomenography is an
established research approach for identifying and mapping the qualitatively
different ways in which people conceive a given aspect of reality, in this case
the work of a programme office manager. The approach leads to the identification
of the key attributes of conception at a number of levels (usually three of
four) that distinguish and explain why some individuals are more effective than
others.
Applications are invited from exceptionally qualified candidates for this fully
funded full-time studentship under the supervision of Dr David Partington.
Applicants should have a good first degree in a relevant discipline. Experience
of working on projects and programmes is desirable, although not essential. An
MBA or relevant specialist masters degree would be an advantage.
The studentship includes full payment of fees at the UK or overseas rate and
stipend of £12,940 per annum.
For an informal discussion about the project, please contact Dr David
Partington, tel +44 (0)1234 751122, email d.partington@..., Website
http://www.som.cranfield.ac.uk/som/research/centres/icpm/
The closing date for applications is 31 July 2008. Full details of the
application process, the PhD programme and other PhD projects are available on
the School's website at www.cranfield.ac.uk/som/phd or from the PhD Programme
Manager, Wendy Habgood, on tel +44 (0)1234 754373, email
