Still time to apply for an autumn start on this PhD. For UK students with an interest in main group / organometallic / coordination chemistry, and/or ligand synthesis, come and join us on the south coast!
We still have a studentship, funded by @LeverhulmeTrust available for a September/October start @ChemistrySussex, developing the chemistry of heteroborolediide ligands. Full details: sussex.ac.uk/study/fees-fun…. If you like main-group organometallic chemistry, come join the team!
3 year PhD Position available for October start in my group! (home students only). Message for further info. RTs appreciated #maingroup #phd findaphd.com/phds/project/d…
I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did helping out on it. Not only did Aniello and co design a really elegant little system, but it's a classic case of "simple is not the same as easy". Of course, that's half the fun.
This work was possible thanks to the collaboration of several researchers. Well done @DomBrightwell @KushalSamanta8 from my team and my collaborators @felipefantuzzi @ClarkGroupChem @DrMichaelJHall, Paul Waddell and the team @IndicatrixNCL
Come work with @Kaysresearch in Cardiff! findaphd.com/phds/project/p… Feel free to contact Debbie or myself for more information.
Check out our latest publication in @ChemistryEur. a collaborative work across several institutions. Thank you to all co-authors. @ClarkGroupChem @KushalSamanta8 @felipefantuzzi @DrMichaelJHall @DomBrightwell 1/2 …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
Lovely science and great people - what more could you want?
We are recruiting for a postdoc position in synthetic chemistry in my group. Please get in touch if you'd like to know more. Job Opportunity at the University of Kent: Research Associate in Sustainable Synthesis jobs.kent.ac.uk/NATS-325-24-R
Quite proud of this one - totally new direction for us all, and a learning cliff not curve, but worth it in the end. As ever, the pages don't do justice to all the work @Miss_Prii_xx put into it. thieme-connect.com/products/ejour…
Absolutely fantastic opportunity with a great supervisor!
Advertising a fully funded PhD position (@chemieverband) in my research group at @KITKarlsruhe, please get in touch if you are interested!
I may be very slightly jealous of the view from my brother's back garden.

Wow. Just ... wow!

The Irish Research Council Postgraduate Scholarship scheme is now open research.ie/funding/goipg/… and I'm happy to hear from interested PhD candidates. Worldwide applications are accepted but EU/EEA/UK citizens/residents are particularly encouraged to apply.
I cannot help but feel Henry Cavill took the role in _Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare_ just for the chance to cosplay as Ciaphus Cain for a bit.
And now, we sit back and wait for Reviewer 2 to tear our dreams to shreds. Well, have a coffee and get back to teaching prep, but you get the picture.
Today's discovery - lots of biological literature reporting that the biuret test positive forms from multiple secondary amides binding to Cu2+ via N lone pairs. Apparently just like Biuret does. Except ... where the hell did that come from, 'cos it's not remotely true?
A classic lunch at the Black Country Living Museum @bclm - faggots, onion gravy, and (sadly mushy) peas.

My group has a fully funded 3.5-year PhD position available in synthetic #organometallic #chemistry with a focus on highly reactive metal complexes for small molecule activation. #inorganic #ozchem Feel free to DM if you're interested! Apply here: utas.edu.au/research/degre…
Not the greatest photo, but someone in Gillingham has a rather dark sense of humour.

PhD advert 📢 We have some last minute PhD funding available to start in October 2024 to work in main group chemistry and catalysis. Please share with anyone who might be interested and contact me directly (unfortunately UK funding only) @UoBChemistry
