PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in photoswitchable rotaxane receptors for the detection and remediation of chemical warfare agents . This competition-funded doctoral project sits in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and is based in the Williams group . The research focuses on designing and synthesising photoactive mechanically interlocked molecules (rotaxanes) that can bind and release analytes in response to light. Students will investigate their potential as hig...

PhD opportunity at the University of York in Organic Chemistry and Synthetic Chemistry : Sustainable Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles from Bio-based Feedstocks . This collaborative project focuses on using bio-based feedstocks to build unsaturated and saturated nitrogen heterocyclic scaffolds, then decorating them into agrochemical lead-like compounds. Research themes include synthesis of heteroaromatics such as pyridines, pyrazines, pyrimidines, and quinolines, as well as terpene-derived sp3-...

Funded PhD opportunities are available with The University of Edinburgh in microbial carbon cycling in soils . The research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that shape the balance of carbon in soils across different ecosystems, with an emphasis on microbial processes, fungal-bacterial interactions, and soil carbon dynamics. The work is interdisciplinary and may involve omics , stable isotope tools , organic chemistry , and modelling approaches . A forthcoming E5 DTP-funded project with Fo...

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...
