Craig Day

Fully funded PhD position in transition-metal catalysis and organometallic chemistry at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark . The Day lab is seeking a PhD candidate to develop new homogeneous catalytic methods using abundant metals such as Fe, Co, and Ni . The research will focus on rational reaction design and fundamental organometallic chemistry, with applications in sustainable synthesis. Project themes include converting abundant feedstock chemicals such as CO2 and biomass using thermal , electrochemical , and photochemical activation. Target outputs include methods relevant to the synthesis of fine chemicals , pharmaceuticals , and new plastics/polymers . The post states that the position is fully funded . The PhD candidate will work closely with Prof. Craig Day and receive regular feedback, assistance, and support. Application deadline: 2026-09-30. How to apply: use the linked employment page.
