    Hi All,
    This isn't an advertisement (as per the rules) in the true sense of the word, more of a pitch to anyone with an interest in pursuing a postgrad in Chemistry/Biomaterials (also posted in Researchers in case any moderators want to remove the thread).
    I'm a regular Boards user under an alias, but I'm using real details here.
    I'm based in an ISO accredited industrial research centre in DIT Kevin St.(www.crestdit.com) and I'm looking for two BSc/MSc graduates to start a Chemistry/Biomaterials MPhil/PhD in the next couple of months. These positions have been advertised nationally and internationally (heanet, euraxess , topresearchjobs) and I have several suitable applications but for the first time I've had no local applications (yet).
    My area of research involves protective coatings, for hygiene and corrosion purposes (list of recent papers can be found here: http://arrow.dit.ie/cenresart/). My first two PhD students (Chemistry) graduated earlier this year, my next (Chemistry/Biology) will finish in 2011 and another (Chemistry/Physics) in 2012 (hence I'm keen to keep postgrad numbers up). To date we've either patented or licensed our technology first before publishing due to our funding requirements.
    The benefits for the students have been royalties/IP and Post Doc employment (one product is currently on the Irish market and due to start exporting next year).

    The successful candidates will be working on Enterprise Ireland and FP7 funded projects (details here: http://www.dit.ie/researchandenterprise/graduateresearchschool/fundedopportunitiesforgraduatestudents/science/#d.en.22521)
    The closing date is Oct 8th (Friday).

    Thanks for reading this far!

    Brendan

    Excellent opportunity! I'd say a few people (myself included) would love for you to divulge the product that is on the market! A few of my class of DT261/3 did work in CREST, and loved it, I hope they get word of these positions somehow.

    Sniff sniff, if only I had a 2.1 :( I'd really love to do something like that.

    Cheers,
    Fell free to pass on the word....
    We had DT261's in the past and it worked out very well. Very eager class.
