Applications are invited for a 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Chemistry, supervised by Prof. Robert Phipps, to work on a UKRI-funded project in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. The project will develop new catalytic approaches to enantioselective radical reactions that utilise ion-pairing interactions. For recent articles from the Phipps group that provide background to this, see: Nature Chem., 2020, 12, 990 and J.Am.Chem.Soc., 2022, 144, 18195.
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual capable of thinking and working independently. Applicants must have (or expect to obtain) at least the equivalent of a UK upper second-class Masters degree in a relevant subject such as chemistry. Ideally, the candidate will have a strong background in organic chemistry. Practical experience of synthetic organic chemistry in a research environment would be beneficial.
The studentship will commence in October 2024 and provides a maintenance grant at the UKRI national rate, and tuition fees at the UK/home rate. Non-UK applicants will be considered if they are able to fund the overseas fees differential, or if they are awarded a suitable scholarship.
