Current Open Positions

Post-Doctoral Associate

Closing Date  6th August 2022
Project:

Our laboratory has been involved in the development of novel unique, and practical electrochemical methodologies to access high-energy intermediates. We are now looking to expand the Team and explore novel electrochemical transformations.

Therefore, we are now looking for highly motivated Post-doctoral associates to join our Team.

The Candidate:

The projects would suit researchers with a strong background in synthetic chemistry. In addition, an interest in electrochemistry would be an advantage.


PhD Studentship in collaboration with AstraZeneca - Electrochemical Fluorination


Project:

Organofluorine compounds display unique physical, chemical and biological properties compared to their hydrogenated analogues. Therefore, it is not surprising to find numerous fluorinated molecules among the top best-selling drugs.1 However, the installation of a fluorine atom remains far from being trivial. Hence, this project proposes developing a new practical, cheap, scalable and green method for the electrofluorination of aliphatic and aromatic compounds.

The Candidate:

The projects would suit researchers with a strong background in synthetic chemistry. In addition, an interest in electrochemistry would be an advantage.

The Funding:

The grant will cover the Home (UK and Ireland) tuition fees and offer a stipend in line with UKRI. Non-UK/IE applicants are welcome but will have to secure additional funding to cover the international fees.


PhD Studentship - DualFlow - Combining the production of Green Hydrogen with the electrosynthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds


Project:

In this EU/UKRI-funded project, we will be coupling the anodic electrosynthesis of high-valued added organic pharmaceutical compounds to produce green hydrogen for the first time.

The Candidate:

The projects would suit researchers with a strong background in synthetic chemistry. In addition, an interest in electrochemistry would be an advantage.

The Funding:

The grant will cover the Home (UK and Ireland) tuition fees and offer a stipend in line with UKRI. Non-UK/IE applicants are welcome but will have to secure additional funding to cover the international fees.


Post-Doctoral Associates / PhD students

Highly motivated visiting scholars, postdoctoral associates and PhD students are encouraged to submit their resume even when no position is advertised. 

Guidance and support will be offered to identify and apply to suitable external funding sources.  

Please get in contact well before the deadline since rushed applications usually have low chances of success.
