Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 637 Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Understanding biomolecule controls on mineral transformations and biogeochemical cycles
Project overview. Minerals play a pivotal role in shaping Earth's biogeochemical cycles, exerting control over the mobility, speciation and (bio)availability of key nutrients, pollutants and technology-critical elements. Read more
P26. Metal-free catalysis to make and break C-F bonds (CSHP CDT)
Fluorine-containing molecules are essential in a wide range of applications, including in many pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Read more
Polypeptide based star anti-viral agent
During the COVID pandemic, vaccines and isolation measures saved many lives. However, for those infected with the deadly virus, there were no effective antiviral drugs available, and many people could not survive due to the lack of treatment options. Read more
PhD Scholarships in atomic-scale modelling of organic flow battery materials - DTU Energy
We are seeking to fill two positions for PhD projects as part of the MSCA Doctoral Network “PREDICTOR”. PREDICTOR aims to establish a rapid, high-throughput method to identify and develop materials for electrochemical energy storage. Read more

“The role of RNA-protein interactions in biological condensates: a molecular dynamics approach”
The role of RNA-protein interactions in biological condensates. Application deadline. October 20, 2024. Applications are invited via the 'Evolve' website, through the link https://evolve-programme.eu/apply/. Read more
Csp3-H Zincation: Functional Group Tolerant Modifications of Pharmaceutical Moieties
Selective C-H functionalisation is a gold-standard reaction in synthetic chemistry for pharmaceutical and natural product synthesis, adding complexity and value to simple starting materials while generating the minimum possible waste. Read more
The Development of a Digital Polymer Biodegradation Platform
Please contact Dr Marc Little for further information (M.Little@hw.ac.uk). Context. Fossil-derived polymer-based materials are widely used across various industries, particularly in the production of plastics. Read more
Development of ceramic thermal and environmental barrier coatings for high temperature applications
Research Group:
Coatings and Ceramics
Ceramic coatings are vital in high-temperature applications, especially in aero-engines and the power generation industry. These coatings increase the engine’s operating temperature to improve efficiency and reduce the engine’s environmental impact. Read more
P1. Improving the sustainability of propellane chemistry (CSHP CDT)
Bicyclo[n.1.1]alkanes (BCAs) have emerged as important building blocks in contemporary drug design, serving as useful building blocks that can substitute for aromatic rings, leading to improved physicochemical and pharmacokinetic profiles of drug candidates. Read more
Fully Funded EPSRC PhD Scholarship in Vegetated urban rain gardens for the management of hydroclimatic stressors
Rapid growth of urban areas has highlighted the importance of integrating high-quality green infrastructure into urban planning to create sustainable, resilient and liveable cities. Read more
P28. Late-Stage Oxygenation of Medicinally Important Bridged Bicyclic Hydrocarbons using Unspecific Peroxygenases (UPOs) (CSHP CDT)
We will establish methods for the synthesis of novel, medicinally important bridged bicyclic hydrocarbon (BBH) scaffolds using late-stage oxygenation enabled by unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) enzymes. Read more
P3. Functional Sugar-derived Polymers for Sustainable Agricultural Applications (CSHP CDT)
Beyond plastics, polymers play a vital role in our lives as key ingredients of liquid formulations. They are found in millions of everyday products, from the shampoo in our bathrooms to the paint on our walls. Read more
P20. Stable Organometallic Gels for sp3-sp2 and sp2-sp2 Negishi Cross-Coupling (CSHP CDT)
Air- and moisture-sensitive organometallic reagents are a key tool in modern synthetic chemistry and enable a wide range of powerful synthetic transformations. Read more
P17. sp3–sp2 Suzuki-Miyaura Cross Coupling of Heterocyclic Organoborons: Exploring 3D Pharmaceutical Space (CSHP CDT)
There is significant interest in sp3-rich heterocyclic scaffolds for medicinal chemistry and there is thus a need for methods to construct sp3-sp2 bonds on such scaffolds in a simple, controllable, programmable and sustainable way. Read more
Natural Polymer Textiles & Fibres for Sustainable Fashion Sector PhD
This project aims to manufacture sustainable textiles from renewable/natural polymers such as cellulose, chitin, alginate, chitosan which derived from most abundant natural resources like agricultural biomass and sea food waste (crab shell, shrimp shells etc.). Read more
