DEADLINE: June 9th, 2019

HOST INSTITUTION: The Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) is based in the province
 of Tarragona on the Mediterranean coast and surrounded by areas of great natural beauty.

The URV is a modern public higher education institution with a proud and widely
 recognized track record in providing teaching and research. It is a university
 with a strong commitment to find solutions to the challenges facing society
 through the generation of knowledge and the provision of education that produces
 highly trained and discerning professionals and citizens. 

Since 2019, it is member of Aurora Alliance, a consortium of research intensive
 universities deeply committed to the social impact of their activities.

Every year, more than 1.100 PhD students initiate their doctoral studies in the
 URV, in one of the 26 Doctoral Programs available.

The thesis will be developed in the Doctoral Program Nanoscience, Materials and
 Chemical Engineering. The aim of this programme is to provide future
 professionals with a strong sense of innovation in nanoscience, materials
 chemistry and chemical engineering who are especially oriented towards
 conducting research in public institutions or industry. Research lines include
 nano(bio)technology, biosensors, lasers, fluid mechanics, heterogeneous
 catalysis and all areas of chemical engineering, such as process and product
 engineering, transport phenomena, environmental science, biotechnology and food
 technology. The programme strengthens students’ research capabilities through
 theoretical and/or experimental project while stressing the importance of
 disseminating and publishing results, promoting mobility and academic exchanges
 and encouraging collaboration with local and national industries.
