PhD studentship in synthetic organic chemistry to develop new transformations involving radical chemistry

The project will involve utilizing both synthetic and mechanistic approaches to the development of new synthetic transformations involving radical chemistry. The generation and utilization of various heteroatom-centered radicals will be central to this project. This is a burgeoning area of contemporary synthetic organic chemistry and represents a great opportunity for highly motivated graduate students.

Eligible candidates should have, or expect to obtain, a minimum of an upper second-class first degree (2:1) or European equivalent and a Masters in Chemistry. The successful candidate will also have a strong background in organic chemistry. First-hand experience in a relevant area of chemistry such as synthetic chemistry, catalysis or heterocyclic synthesis is highly desirable.
