We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated PhD candidate to undertake a fully-funded 3-year PhD studentship in the area of organic electrosynthesis. This exciting project stems from a collaboration between The Lubrizol Corporation and Prof. Prof Darren Walsh at the University of Nottingham. The project involves developing electrosynthetic processes for the production of consumer products. The successful candidate will systematically optimise cell and electrolyte parameters to improve reaction selectivity and conversion, with specific focus on substrate-electrode and electrode-electrolyte interactions. The student will be based in the School of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham, with regular meetings, visits and the option of a secondment with the industrial partner.
