PhD Opportunity in Catalysis, Single-Atom Materials, and Sustainable Organic Transformations at Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai Marathwada Campus Institute of Chemical Technology in

PhD positions are open in the research group of Manoj B. Gawande at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai Marathwada Campus (Jalna, India). The group works in chemistry, with a strong focus on catalysis, single-atom materials, single-site catalysis, photocatalytic and electrocatalytic organic transformations, sustainable organic synthesis, and CO2 capture and valorization.

The announcement invites applications for one or two PhD positions. The preferred background is an MSc in Chemistry, and candidates with CSIR-JRF, UGC-JRF, or DST-INSPIRE-JRF are specifically encouraged. The post is research-oriented and suited to students interested in applied catalysis, green chemistry, and advanced functional materials.

Interested candidates should email their CV and the names and addresses of two or three referees to the supervisor using the contact emails provided. The post does not mention a formal deadline, funding package, or tuition details.

Research themes mentioned include catalytic organic applications on single-site catalysis, plasmon/photocatalytic organic transformations on single-atom materials, sustainable organic transformations catalyzed by single-atom materials, electrocatalytic applications on single-atom materials, and CO2 capture and valorization.
