Candidates are invited to apply for a fully-funded 4-year PhD studentship in the Symes Group at the School of Chemistry, University of Glasgow (www.symeslab.com). The vacancy is open now, to start in October 2022, although an earlier start date is possible. This research project will examine the capture of carbon dioxide and its conversion to small molecules of industrial importance (e.g. fuels and commodity chemicals) by a combination of chemical and electrochemical approaches. The research project is thus highly interdisciplinary, at the interface of organic chemistry, electrochemistry, materials and engineering, and with the potential to have a major impact on more sustainable routes to chemical production.
Candidates should hold (or expect to hold by the start date) a 1st or upper 2nd class MSc / MChem / MChemEng or equivalent in a relevant discipline (chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, etc.), although detailed knowledge of specific techniques is not essential. Above all, candidates will be highly motivated and independently-minded, and should be able to demonstrate the ability to learn new skills in a research environment.
Interested candidates must send a full CV and cover letter explaining why they wish to work in the Symes Group to [Email Address Removed]. Please note that funding is only available for UK students. Further information on research in the Symes Group can be found at www.symeslab.com.
