This project is concerned with the development of sustainable chemical methodology techniques for the generation and use of organometallic reagents under ball-milling conditions. The project, funded through a CASE award with Syngenta and EPSRC, will provide excellent training in practical organic chemistry, including the use and development of array approaches to ball-milling techniques.
The project is ideally suited to a synthetic chemist with an interest in the development of chemical methodologies using enabling reactor technologies. Applicants should have or expect to obtain a minimum 2:1 degree in chemistry. Previous experience of synthetic chemistry in a research environment would be beneficially but not essential. For examples of the Browne groups research in this area over the past three years see the following publications in the References section.
Main methods and techniques
The key methods will be Chemical synthesis, characterisation of organic compounds, Ball-milling.
Person specification
Applicants are expected to hold a first degree in chemistry (minimum 2.1). A Master’s project or equivalent in organic synthesis should prepare you well for this PhD. Other relevant skills will be taught during the project.
Applicants will also need to meet UCL MPhil/PhD entry and English Language requirements. See link for further details https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate/research-degrees/pharmacy-mphil-phd
