Marie-Curie ITN CATSENSE "Design of novel catalysts and biosensors" , PhD Positions in Nanotechnology, Physics and Chemistry, KU Leuven, Belgium (2015-2016)

Catsense, whose goal is to design novel high performance catalysts and biosensors based on deposited mass-selected clusters assisted by computational theoretical screening is a new FP7-ITN-Marie Curie European training project for 12 ESRs and 2 ERs in nanotechnology that has started January 1st 2014. Its innovative concept is to consider metal clusters science as a new emerging supra-disciplinary field bridging (electro) catalysis (directly applicable to fuel cell technology) and biosensing technologies that are of growing strategic importance to the global economy.
Catsense is a multi-disciplinary project collaboration between state-of-the-art laboratories and industries (10 partners in 6 countries) that will merge physics, chemistry, computational quantum chemistry, and biosciences. Its training programme is to provide each ESR and ER employed in the network with a unique set of cross-cutting expertise & skills, as demanded by employers in nanoscience & nanotechnology.
