Fully Funded PhD Studentship in Chiral Heteroatom Cages and Synthetic Chemistry University of Birmingham in United Kingdom

This four-year PhD project at the University of Birmingham will investigate synthetic methods for accessing strained chiral heteroatom cages containing boron, nitrogen, silicon and phosphorus. The research will examine the properties of heteroatoms in challenging chemical environments and explore their potential across organic reaction methodology, metal, main-group and organocatalysis, photoluminescence and supramolecular chemistry. The project offers scope to develop new chemical approaches, t...

The University of Cambridge is inviting applications for PhD research opportunities in synthetic chemistry within the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry. Seven internationally leading research groups offer projects spanning reaction discovery, catalysis, molecular design, chemical biology, supramolecular chemistry, and computation. The research community focuses on inventing new reactions, discovering catalysts, understanding molecular behaviour, and developing tools with applications in biolo...

This PhD project in chemistry will develop metal-based molecular systems that can both detect chemical warfare agents and catalytically break them down into harmless or less harmful products. The research focuses on multifunctional coordination cages : discrete polymetallic architectures with tuneable internal cavities and rich host–guest chemistry. These systems will be designed to combine molecular recognition, optical sensing and catalytic remediation within a single platform. The student wil...

This postdoctoral project is based in the Department of Chemistry for Life Sciences at Uppsala University , where research and education span analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and organic chemistry. The department is an international environment with English as the main working language and is located at the Biomedical Centre in Uppsala, enabling close collaboration with research groups in biology, pharmacy, medicine, and SciLifeLab. The project focuses on the development of non-covalent supra...

The University of Birmingham is offering a PhD studentship in polymer chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and dynamic materials. Based in the Fielden group, the project investigates how osmotic pressure can initiate polymer breakdown and enable the controlled exchange of monomers between polymers. The researcher will design reaction systems in which monomers diffuse away from parent polymers, study reversible depolymerisation under different conditions, and work with reaction media and catalysts...
