DPhil Studentship in Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry
Overview
This DPhil studentship focuses on the synthesis, supramolecular encapsulation, and spectroscopy of new molecular carbon allotropes. The project explores cyclocarbons and builds upon previous research, combining organic synthesis, spectroscopy, supramolecular chemistry, and metal coordination chemistry. Research in the Anderson group centers on creating molecular materials that possess unusual electronic, optical, and magnetic properties, such as nanorings and molecular wires. Funding for this research comes from the European Research Council.
What you get
The successful candidate receives coverage for course fees at a Home rate alongside a stipend of no less than the standard UK Research Council rate, which is currently set at £21,805 per annum. This financial support runs for a duration of 39 months.
Who can apply
Applicants are required to hold a first-class or a strong upper second-class undergraduate degree in Chemistry. Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to research alongside the proven ability to learn new skills independently.
Requirements
The chosen applicant will be based onsite at the Chemistry Research Laboratory in Oxford.

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.
