About this position

Funded PhD opportunity in Inorganic / Solid-State Chemistry at University College Dublin.

The new Gabilondo group in the UCD School of Chemistry is recruiting a PhD student for a 4-year studentship focused on the synthetic discovery of metastable, crystalline semiconductors, the study of their formation pathways, and the investigation of their optical and electronic properties. The research is aimed at new functional materials with potential applications in solar-driven photocatalysis and non-linear optics.

This position is based at University College Dublin, Ireland, and is an excellent fit for applicants interested in inorganic chemistry, solid-state synthesis, and advanced materials discovery. The scholarship includes a stipend of €25,000 per year for up to four years, with EU and non-EU tuition fees covered. The award is funded through the UCD School of Chemistry Sir Walter Hartley Scholarship scheme, and the successful candidate will also contribute 144 hours per year of teaching in undergraduate laboratories and tutorials.

Applications are welcome from candidates who already hold, or expect to receive, a degree in Chemistry with a 1st class honours or 2:1 grade (or equivalent). Experience in solid-state, materials, or inorganic synthesis is strongly encouraged, alongside excellent communication skills and integrity. The role is described as a full-time PhD position, and the start date is ideally September 2026 or January 2027.

To apply, send a cover letter, CV, and contact details for at least two academic referees by email to Dr. Eric Gabilondo. Use the subject line “SWHF application.” Early applications are encouraged because the position will be filled once a suitable candidate is identified.

Useful links in the posting include the supervisor’s academic page and UCD information pages on fees, global study, and graduate studies.
