Emerging Continuous Light-based Volumetric 3D Printing Methods
At the Programmable Biomaterials Lab (PBL), our goal is to solve some of the major challenges facing large-scale and high-throughput bioproduction via innovative 3D light-assisted programming of matter. Read more
Design of metallo coiled coil MRI contrast agents
This PhD project will develop a new class of MRI contrast agents. MRI is an essential tool for medical diagnosis. Contrast agents play a crucial role in improving the images obtained, and hence patient outcomes. Read more
Photoredox molecular editing for enhanced drug discovery
Molecular editing platforms, the process by which single atoms can be inserted or deleted selectively in or around a molecule’s skeleton, are transformative to synthetic chemists across industry and academia for the streamlined development of new drugs. Read more
EPSRC - Light-coupled NMR to design novel photo-driven chemistry and materials
Over the last decade, visible light-driven chemistry has come to the forefront of modern organic synthesis, chemical biology, and materials science, providing a powerful platform through which to rapidly construct new and complex molecules. Read more
New Degradable Polymers for Biotechnology
Extremophiles have evolved to survive in the world’s coldest environments, through the production of specialised macromolecules, such as antifreeze proteins and ‘ice nucleating proteins. Read more
Development of a DNA amplification-free assay for pathogen detection
Applications are invited for a funded PhD position in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. The School of Chemistry is keen to achieve a gender and diversity balance across the School and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. Read more
Alkali Metal Mediation (AMM) in Chemical Manufacture and Fuel Technology
Applications are invited for a fully funded 36-month PhD studentship sponsored by Innospec Limited, a global specialty chemicals company focused on bringing innovative new technologies to the market to start in October 2024. Read more
Novel Radiotracers and Radiochemical Methods for the Biomedical Technique of Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
With strong alignment to the clinical programmes within the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and other departments in the Clinical School, our programme… Read more
Combined multi-scale modelling and experimental studies of polymer nanocomposites used in subsea connectors – Industrial CASE Studentship
This PhD opportunity will be based at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. Please contact Prof David Bucknall (David.bucknall@hw.ac.uk) for further details. Read more
Supramolecular building blocks for carbon capture materials
This PhD opportunity will primarily be based at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. Please contact Prof Scott Dalgarno (S.J.Dalgarno@hw.ac.uk) for further details. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Studies in heterogeneous catalysts
The Max Planck Centre for fundamental studies on heterogeneous catalyst was established in 2019 and has two themes operating on experimental heterogeneous catalysis; namely catalyst design and acetylene chemistry. Read more
High-throughput exploration of multicomponent metal organic frameworks (MOFs)
New porous materials are important for advances in key technologies such as carbon dioxide sequestration and storage or catalysts for clean manufacturing. Read more
Sustainable processes – reducing single use plastics in healthcare
The burden of medical plastic waste has become an increasingly pressing concern in recent years. The healthcare industry relies heavily on single-use plastic items due to their convenience and hygiene factors, but this has led to a significant environmental problem. 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
Discovery of Functional Inorganic Materials for Net Zero Applications using High-Throughput Synthesis
This project will use high-throughput solid state synthesis methods developed in the group (Hampson 2023) to accelerate the discovery of new functional inorganic (oxide) materials for applications towards net zero technologies e.g. Read more
