C N Davies Award

Aerosol Society

The Aerosol Society intends to award a Scholarship annually to a new graduate undertaking a course of study leading to a Doctorate at a United Kingdom or Irish University. It is hoped that this Scholarship will encourage a young science graduate to undertake postgraduate training in the field of aerosol science, and at the same time gain some experience in the presentation of work to a scientific audience.

This Scholarship will be competitive and the successful student will be chosen on the basis of the proposed project, an essay written by the student on the subject of the project, and an interview. Candidates who are in receipt of an award/salary at a level above standard Research Council grants will not be eligible. Candidates must have registered for their research after 31st December 2011 i.e. by the closing date for applications (31st March 2012) candidates will either be in their first year or in the first months of their second year of study leading to a PhD. They must also be in full-time further education.

Projects

Any project which falls within the areas of interest of The Aerosol Society will be considered. These are broad and encompass airborne particles or droplets in relation to aerobiology, agriculture, atmospherics, coagulation, condensation, deposition, diffusion, dynamics, electrostatics, evaporation, filtration, generation techniques, industrial processes, inhalation, instrumentation, light scattering, manufacture, occupational hygiene, radioactivity, respiratory disease, resuspension, sampling, shape, standards, therapy and thermodynamics. Projects may be directed at the exploration of basic problems, or may be of a more applied nature.
