PhD in Sustainable Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles from Bio-based Feedstocks University of York in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in Sustainable Supramolecular Structured Liquids at the University of York This funded PhD project explores supramolecular chemistry , structured liquids , polymer chemistry , organic chemistry , and synthetic chemistry to develop sustainable alternatives to oil-derived viscosification agents used in consumer and personal care products. The project aims to design low-molecular-weight building blocks that self-assemble into liquid modifiers with tunable performance and improved en...

PhD opportunity at the University of York in photochemical arylative carbonylation and formylation using manganese catalysis and tandem manganese/palladium catalysis . The project sits in the Department of Chemistry and is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Chemical Synthesis for a Healthy Planet (CSHP CDT), with training links across Oxford and York. The research will investigate earth-abundant metal catalysts for arylative carbonylation reactions using aromatic and heteroaromati...

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in the School of Chemistry with Dr Amit Kumar and the Kumar Research Group. This funded PhD project focuses on the chemical upcycling of nitrile gloves through catalysis , polymer chemistry , organic chemistry , and inorganic chemistry . The research will develop new catalysts and methodologies for transforming nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), a material widely used in nitrile gloves, into value-added polymers and explore applications for the result...
