Offer Description

A call for applications is now open for a research grant at MSc. level, within the scope of the R&D project, PTDC/QUI-QOR/1786/2021 (Exploring New Chemical Space Powered by the Functionalization of Natural Bisquinolizidine Alkaloids) supported by national funds through FCT.

 

Admission Requirements:  The candidates must: i) Hold a M.Sc. in chemistry, chemical engineering, chemical and biological engineering or related areas; ii) Be enrolled in a PhD program; iii) Have previous experience in an organic chemistry laboratory, namely in the synthesis and characterization of metal complexes and in the development of synthetic methodologies

For cases in which the academic degree was obtained in a non-Portuguese academic institution, the degree must be recognized by a Portuguese academic institution, in accordance with Portuguese legislation (artigo 25.º do Decreto-Lei n.º 66/2018, de 16 de agosto, e alínea e) do n.º2 do artigo 4.º do Decreto-Lei nº 60/2018, de 03 de agosto).

Work Plan: The post will be taken to perform studies on the use of natural bisquinolizidine as inductors of enantioselectivity in homogeneous catalysis, likely using metal complexes. The molecules to be synthesized will be characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and enantioselectivity levels determined by chiral HPLC.

Legislation and Regulations: Estatuto do Bolseiro de Investigação Científica, na redação dada pelo Decreto-Lei n.º 123/2019, de 28 de agosto; Regulamento n.º 950/2019, de 29 de novembro, publicado em Diário da República, n.º 241, 2.ª Série, de 16 de dezembro (https://dre.pt/application/file/a/127230968 ) (Regulamento de Bolsas de Investigação da FCT, I.P.); Decreto-Lei n.º 66/2018, de 16 de agosto (Regime jurídico de reconhecimento de graus académicos e diplomas de ensino superior atribuídos por instituições de ensino superior estrangeiras).
