DPhil Studentship in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Method Development and Applications
Overview
This DPhil studentship focuses on electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy method development and applications, specifically investigating molecular quantum rings. The research project uses advanced electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques to examine the electronic structure of molecular quantum rings constructed from metalloporphyrins. Work is supervised by Professors Christiane Timmel and Harry Anderson within the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford, and the funding is provided by the European Research Council.
Who can apply
Applicants need a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree in Chemistry. The candidate should demonstrate a strong commitment to research alongside the ability to learn new skills independently.
What you get
The position provides coverage for course fees at a Home rate as well as a stipend matching no less than the standard UK Research Council rate, which is set at £21,805 per annum, for a duration of 39 months.
Requirements
The successful applicant is based at the Chemistry Research Laboratory in Oxford and must participate in research studying spin phenomena, reaction mechanisms, dynamics of polarised spin systems, and the creation of molecular materials possessing unusual electronic, optical, and magnetic properties.
How to apply
Applicants must submit a formal application for the DPhil in Chemistry through the Oxford online application system, quoting the reference HA&CT/Chem/2027 under Departmental Studentship Applications.
Key dates
The studentship begins on 1st October 2027. The application deadline is 12.00 noon UK time on Wednesday, 6th January 2027.
About University of Oxford
The University of Oxford is a collegiate research university in Oxford, England. Teaching there is documented from the late eleventh century, which makes it one of the oldest universities in the world, although its exact founding date is unknown. It has no single central campus, and its buildings are spread throughout the city. Every student belongs to a college, and the colleges operate alongside the university's academic departments, which are grouped into divisions.
