Ph.D. Positions Available

We typically take on a number of PhD students each year to start in September/October. We will have positions available in September 2019 for individuals who are interested in pursuing PhD studies in UK. Talented and self-motivated chemists with a strong background in synthetic organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and/or natural product synthesis are welcome to join us. We have been successfully applied for a CSC Scholarship (China) this year.

Professor David Procter is a world-famous chemist interested in radical chemistry, metal-free cross-coupling and copper catalysed multicomponent reactions. He has published >145 publications and been awarded Bader Prize from the Royal Society of Chemistry and Liebig Lectureship from the German Chemical Society.

This year he already published 8 high quality peer-reviewed papers, including 5 Angew papers. The group regularly publish in journals such as Nature chemistry, JACS, Angew, Nature Commucations. Please visit Professor David Procter’s webpage https://www.proctergroupresearch.com/
