This four-year PhD project at The University of Manchester will develop chemical sensors for measuring tensile forces in living cells and tissues. Mechanical forces influence cellular processes such as cell division, stem cell differentiation and gene expression, as well as tissue-level processes including morphogenesis, wound healing, immune responses and cancer metastasis. However, techniques for measuring forces inside live tissues remain limited. The project will use mechanochromic molecules...

This PhD project is focused on organic chemistry of boron and main group elements at the University of Pardubice . The topic points to advanced synthetic and mechanistic chemistry, with the student working in an area that combines organic synthesis with the chemistry of main-group compounds. The position is advertised as a PhD position within the university’s chemistry environment. It is presented as a single opening, and the project title suggests research centered on boron-containing molecules...

This PhD project at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Southern Denmark explores how electrically controlled molecular motion can be translated into mechanical force and, ultimately, covalent bond cleavage. The research focuses on the design and synthesis of electroactive molecular machines built around [2]rotaxanes that combine a redox-active monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalene (MPTTF) unit with a cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT4+) macrocycle and a furan-base...

HIPOLE Jena, the Helmholtz Institute for Polymers in Energy Applications, is seeking a PhD student to work on the synthesis and characterization of redox-active polymers for sustainable energy storage and conversion technologies. The project is affiliated with the Collaborative Research Center TRR234 CataLight and based in the research group of Prof. Dr. Ulrich S. Schubert . CataLight investigates the controlled integration of molecular, light-driven catalytic units into hierarchically structure...
