Research Group: Chemistry Number of Students: 1 Length of Study in Years: 4 Years Full-time Project: yes
This studentship is funded via a studentship from the China Scholarship Council. CSC is offering a monthly stipend to cover living expenses and QMUL is waving fees and hosting the student. These scholarships are available only for Chinese candidates.
This project will develop alternative and innovative technologies in organic synthesis that eschew a requirement for conventional organic solvents in favour of less toxic, greener and more sustainable alternatives. New processes that minimise environmental impact will be of widespread interest, particularly in industrial settings. Building on preliminary results in the group, we will investigate applications of green solvents in a range of synthetic organic chemistry methodologies, including reactive intermediates, photocatalysis and transition metal catalysed processes.
Applications are invited from outstanding candidates with or expecting to receive a first or upper-second class master's degree in Chemistry or an area relevant to the project. A standalone master's degree, or undergraduate integrated master's degree are required for this position.
Applicants are encouraged to contact Dr Christopher Jones on c.jones@qmul.ac.uk prior to their submission by sending a CV and a description of their interests and expertise relevant to the project.
