Application of FFLUX to crystal-structure prediction: towards efficient and accurate pharmaceutical polymorph screening
Molecular crystals are found in many consumer products, but predicting polymorphism, where a molecule can pack into multiple crystal forms with different physical properties, is a crucial unsolved problem. Read more
(UoM - IIT KGP) Luminescent supramolecules for applications in data storage
Quantum computing is a paradigm-shifting computation that has the potential to revolutionalise the way we store, process and compute complex data and is set to transform the digital world, as we know it. Read more
Molecular design for energy-efficient and high colour-purity light-emitting devices
About 20% of the world’s electricity production is used for lighting and powering our displays, which account for 6% of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Read more
Defining the Electronic Structures of (Hetero)Metallocene Anions – He-MAn
A Leverhulme Trust-sponsored PhD studentship is available for an outstanding and ambitious scientist to undertake research in the field of physical f-element chemistry. Read more
MAX-FOX – Maximising f-element oxidation states
A European Research Council (ERC) funded PhD studentship is available for an aspiring scientist to undertake research in the field of synthetic f-element chemistry. Read more
Deep Learning-based mechanistic elucidation of processes mediated by heterogeneous catalysts
Heterogeneous catalysis is essential in the chemical industry, but understanding its mechanisms is complex due to the limitations of traditional kinetic analysis, which often relies on simplifying approximations. Read more
Sending a message down a golden thread
Background. Transmembrane receptors in cell membranes, like G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), relay chemical messages into cells in a process called “signal transduction”. Read more
Probing the f→d transition in lanthanide ions for qubit switching
Metal centres with single unpaired electrons have great potential as qubit systems; the two spin-states of the electron (up and down) can be mapped onto classical bits 0 and 1, with additional superpositions of the states allowing for increased computational speed following Quantum Information Processing (QIP) algorithms compared to classical computer systems. Read more
Control of Relaxation Times in Rare Earth Single-Molecule Magnets and Qubits
An EPSRC DTG-sponsored PhD studentship is available for an outstanding and ambitious chemist to undertake research in the field of synthetic inorganic chemistry in a collaborative project between three research groups at Manchester Chemistry. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Environmental C-F/C-Cl remediation by heme mono-oxygenases and peroxidases.
A PhD studentship is available for an outstanding and ambitious chemist to undertake research in the field of green chemistry, biotechnology, and metalloenzyme mechanism in a collaborative project between Drs Jack Rowbotham, Sam de Visser and Derren Heyes (Manchester Institute of Biotechnology) at the University of Manchester. Read more
An opportunity to define important trends in actinide covalency and relativistic expansion
This fully funded 3.5-year PhD studentship is available for an outstanding and ambitious student to undertake fundamental research into actinide electronic structure and magnetism. Read more
Novel method development and applications in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
A 4-year PhD studentship in novel method development and applications in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is available in the group of Dr Alice Bowen. Read more
