UCL Chemistry Department is offering a fully funded studentship to a highly motivated candidate to start in September 2023. The student will carry out his/her doctoral research at UCL.
The goal of the research project is to discover and develop new sustainable radical reactions using visible-light and employing earth abundant, non-toxic transition metals. The student will be exposed to a variety of techniques in organic chemistry, including shlenck techniques, glove-box techniques, and the most up-to-date purification/analysis techniques, as well as ample opportunities to gain knowledge in ligand design, organometallic chemistry, organic synthesis, photochemistry, and catalysis. Please visit our webpage at thekumarlab.com for more information.
The applicants should have, or be expecting to achieve, a first or upper second-class Honours degree or equivalent in organic chemistry/biochemistry or polymer chemistry.
Interested candidates should initially contact the supervisor, Dr. Kumar ([Email Address Removed]), with a degree transcript and a motivation letter expressing interest in these projects. Informal inquiries are encouraged. Please note that a suitable applicant will be required to complete MS Form entitled Application for Research: degree Chemistry programme. In addition, it is essential that suitable applicants complete an electronic application form at https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate/research-degrees/chemistry-mphil-phd (please select Research degree: Chemistry programme) prior to the application deadline and advise their referees to submit their references as soon as they possibly can. All shortlisted applicants will be invited for an interview no more than 4 weeks after the application deadline. Any admissions queries should be directed to Dr Jadranka Butorac and Rhianna Betts at [Email Address Removed].
