PhD opportunity in Living Bioelectronic Interfaces with Large Motile Diatoms at the University of Coimbra , Centre for Functional Ecology – Science for People & the Planet, in collaboration with CNRS / LEMAR (Brest, France) . This project sits at the intersection of marine biology , biochemistry , biophysics , bioengineering , bioelectronics , and environmental sensing . The research asks whether the size, gliding motility, and biofilm dynamics of large diatoms such as Pleurosigma strigosum can ...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the National University of Singapore in the Dynamic Catalysis and Electrosynthesis Group within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The project focuses on electrosynthesis and the electrification of chemical processes , with possible directions in organic electrosynthesis , electrochemical C–N/C–C bond formation , electrochemical decarbonization , and sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. Ideal applicants have a strong foundation in elect...

The University of Birmingham is offering a fully funded PhD studentship in biomimetic foldamers as a new class of sustainable catalysts , based in the School of Chemistry in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Foldamers are synthetic oligomers that adopt stable, bio-inspired conformations such as helices. Their solid forms have applications in materials science, supramolecular chemistry, and biological chemistry. Because foldamers are bio- and environmentally compatible and have modular, tuneable molecu...
