PGR Opportunities at University of Strathclyde 2024
Founded in 1796 as a ‘place of useful learning' the University of Strathclyde is a leading technological University based in the heart of Glasgow. Read more
Synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks Using Rotaxane-based Ligands.
The PhD project will focus on the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) using rotaxane-based ligands. In particular, the project will demonstrate how rotaxane motion affects the adsorption of guest molecules in MOFs. Read more
Exploring the roles of dynamic atypical protein phosphorylation in cancer
Proteins are extensively regulated by dynamic, often reversible post-translational modifications (PTMs). This process allows cells to respond rapidly to environmental factors, be that e.g. Read more
Development of formaldehyde-free biobased adhesives based on by-product proteins
The wood-based composite panel industry is an evolving sector that is constantly seeking to adapt to consumer needs and regulations on volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Read more
Crystal engineering new, more effective medicines.
BACKGROUND. Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) – a diverse group of infectious diseases – continue to thrive across low- income populations. Read more
Quantifying the risk of precipitating drug induced crystalluria (XTALURIA)
The growth of crystals in the body often results in pain, damage, and gross harm. Read more
Nanoporous Materials for Energy Absorption
Nanoporous materials such as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are having their applications in mechanical energy absorption. Read more
Discovery and profiling of small-molecule inhibitors of cellular nuclease enzymes
Nuclease enzymes are non-traditional drug targets that attract an increasing amount of interest as potential targets relevant for a variety of therapeutic areas including infection, cancer and bone disease. Read more
PhD in Chemistry - Amorphous Aggregates and Non-Classical Crystal Nucleation
You are invited to apply for a fully funded 3.5 year PhD position in the School of Chemistry, available to start on 1 October 2024 in the Ultrafast/slow Chemical Physics group at the University of Glasgow (https://www.wijnne.com/), with the aim to understand the role of amorphous structures in crystal nucleation.

Machine Learning (ML) for Polymer Blending Optimisation
A wide spectrum of target thermoplastic materials can be manufactured by tailoring polymer blends to achieve particular combinations of end-user performance (e.g. Read more
Intracellular Capillarity of Biomolecular Condensates
The emerging role of biomolecular condensates formed through a liquid-liquid phase separation process inside biological cells is driving a paradigm change in our understanding of cellular organisation. Read more
Designing Structured Surfaces with Superwettability Properties
The wetting behaviours of liquids on solid surfaces play an important role for a wide range of engineering applications, including coatings, electronics, oil recovery, microfluidics, and inkjet printing. Read more

Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Diseases affecting the bowel such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are major global healthcare challenges in the 21st century. Read more
CFD simulation of a perforated rotating bucket in the prilling process
Research Group:
Advanced Materials Engineering
Prilling is a finishing process in chemical and petrochemical industries for producing reasonably uniform spherical particles from molten solutions of chemicals such as urea or ammonium nitrate. Read more
Analysis of Magnetically Susceptible Nanoparticles via confocal and fluorescence spectroscopy
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
A project is requested for a student to design a device capable of studying medically targeted nanoparticles (with potential applications in cancer therapy) under both microscopic and fluorescence devices. Read more
