Scholarship at Faculty of Science and Engineering, School of Physical Sciences, Department of Chemistry
Study Subject: Porous Organic Molecules
Employer: University of Liverpool
Level: PhD
Scholarship Description: A PhD studentship is available in the research group of Professor Andrew Cooper in the Chemistry Department, University of Liverpool (stipend starting from £13,790 pa). Porous materials are important in a variety of applications such as molecular separations, catalysis, and energy storage. Our group has developed a new method for preparing porous materials by the self-assembly of nanometer-sized, inherently-porous organic cage molecules (Nature Mater., 8, 973-973, 2009, DOI: 10.1038/NMAT2545). The project will involve aspects of organic synthesis, crystallisation, and structure determination. The successful applicant will join a large and diverse research group (see http://www.liv.ac.uk/chemistry/res/coopergroup/) and will collaborate with other members of the team, particularly with researchers in the area of molecular modeling. Applicants should hold a Masters level degree in Chemistry or equivalent, and project experience in organic chemistry would be an advantage. For further details, please contact Professor Cooper (aicooper-at-liv.ac.uk) quoting the reference code POC-PhD-2010.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 November 2010
