PhD Studentship: Synthetic Organic Chemistry
Applications are invited for a 4-year PhD studentship, working in the field of synthetic organic chemistry, supervised by Prof Robert Phipps. The project will develop new catalytic approaches to enantioselective radical reactions that utilise attractive non-covalent interactions. For recent articles from the Phipps group that provide background reading to this, see: Nature Chem., 2020, 12, 990 and J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2022, 144, 18195. For a recent paper demonstrating latest research findings in this area, see: Science 2024, 386, 42-49.
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual capable of thinking and working independently. Applicants must have (or expect to obtain) at least the equivalent of a UK upper second-class Master's degree in a relevant subject such as Chemistry. Ideally, the candidate will have a strong background in organic chemistry. Practical experience of synthetic organic chemistry in a research environment would be beneficial.
