University of Bristol: Technology Enhanced Chemical Synthesis

Summary

Our alternative to the traditional PhD includes a unique training period (TATE) before the start of your synthesis research project which will:

- enhance your research skills in a variety of areas of chemical synthesis

- introduce you to state-of-the-art automation and reaction technology;

- introduce you to new methods of computational chemistry, including AI;

- enable you to choose your own PhD project;

- encourage you to explore areas outside your comfort zone;

- foster a teamwork ethos through cohort-driven research;

- include entrepreneurship training to introduce you to the start-up culture;

- build personal confidence;

- create links with industry while working on real-world problems;

- allow you to interact with internationally renowned research groups;

- grow your employability and transferable skills.

We are seeking applications from students covering the whole breadth of the synthetic chemistry spectrum. We encourage applications from students whose interests include:

- Metal catalysed transformations

- New scaffolds for medicines and agrochemicals

- Designer ligands for catalysis

- Computational modelling and automation

- Design and synthesis of new bioactive and functional molecules

- Main group chemistry: from molecules to materials

- Development of expedient new synthetic methodologies

- Chemistry, synthesis and activity of natural products

- Cleaner synthesis and reactor technology

Applications are welcomed from students with or expecting to gain a first or upper-second class honours MSci/MChem (or equivalent). This is one of the CDTs hosted by the School of Chemistry offering training in a number of different disciplines.

Level	RQF Level 8
Entry requirements	An upper second-class honours MSci/MChem degree in chemistry, or international equivalent.
