Competitive EPSRC funded PhD in Chemistry: Sustainable synthesis of antiviral and anticancer drugs through chemoenzymatic routes
Sustainable synthesis of antiviral and anticancer drugs through chemoenzymatic routes. Nucleoside analogues (NAs) have been in clinical use for almost 50 years and are the cornerstone for the treatment of cancer or viral infections. Read more
Mechanochemistry and the mechanical bond – sustainable methods for the synthesis of functional rotaxanes and catenanes
Background. Molecules are mechanically bonded if they are composed of two covalent subcomponents that are threaded through one another such that they can never separate even though there is no covalent bond between them. Read more
Green Polymers from Sugars towards Polyethylene-Like Materials
Polymers are widespread in modern society as they produce light, strong, and cheap plastic materials, with an ever-increasing demand, which are critical to many technologies from consumer goods, electronics to healthcare. Read more

Competitive EPSRC funded PhD in Chemistry: Mechanistic investigation of chemical transformations in molecular solids: towards future energy applications
Cheap, clean, and sustainable energy is vital to improve global living standards without compromising our climate and environment. Read more
Green methods to revalorise wastes: transformation into sustainable materials and chemicals
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
Systematic Exploration of 3D Pharmaceutical Space using 3D Bifunctional Building Blocks
There is much interest in 3D heterocyclic scaffolds for medicinal chemistry. Within fragment-based drug discovery, we are developing a synthetic platform to enable the elaboration of 2D fragments into 3D lead compounds, addressing limitations highlighted by industry. Read more
Developing a Future Green Chemical Economy through Aluminium Bimetallics
Dr Cath Weetman has a PhD position available (starting October 2024) in the general area of synthetic and mechanistic organometallic main group chemistry. Read more
Atomic-Scale Regulation on photocatalysts for Solar plastic upcycling
About the project. The aim is to produce new fundamental science for sustainable production of hydrogen and value-added chemicals through a solar-driven photocatalytic approach using abundant plastic wastes and high-performance photocatalysts. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Enhancing organic room-temperature phosphorescence through supramolecular approaches
Dr Yi-Lin Wu - People - Cardiff University is looking for a PhD student to work on the research project “Enhancing organic room-temperature phosphorescence through supramolecular approaches.” The project involves the design and synthesis of triplet-forming organic chromophores and the investigation of their photophysical properties induced by supramolecular interactions. Read more
Improving the sustainability of propellane chemistry
Bicyclo[n.1.1]alkanes (BCAs) have emerged as important building blocks in contemporary drug design, serving as useful building blocks that can substitute for aromatic rings, leading to improved physicochemical and pharmacokinetic profiles of drug candidates. Read more
PhD Studentship in Chemistry for Catalytic CO2 Utilisation
A PhD studentship is available at the University of Cambridge, starting in October 2025 under the supervision of Professor Erwin Reisner in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry. Read more
