Enjoyed a fabulous Nepalese meal to welcome our summer students!

Looking for your first step towards an independent career? We offer a 3-year-independent fellowship to support postdoc researchers from backgrounds under-represented in chemistry (e.g., women, minority ethnic, LGBTQI+, disabled, low-income backgrounds) shorturl.at/RBBpV

How should a modern chemistry degree look like? What kind of digital skills training should it involve? Here are some of our thoughts. What is your take on it? chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

🇨🇿🇸🇰Are you a Czech or Slovak PhD graduate looking for a postdoc stay abroad? I have projects available in organic synthesis and catalysis to host you in Durham 🇬🇧! Please email me your CV by March 10th if you are interested in this opportunity. More info: experientia.cz/en/research-st…

Fully funded 4-year PhD studentship investigating synthetic organic electro(photo)chemistry at the University of Bath from Oct 2024. Collaborative project with @AstraZeneca! Deadline 25th February. Get in touch if interested! @BathChem @UniofBath findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

We're recruiting! Come and do a PhD (EPSRC eligibility) with me at @EdinburghChem and study some funky s-block metal chemistry :) findaphd.com/phds/project/b…

Come and join the Thomas Group! We have a Post-Doc position projected to start on 4th July 2024. Applications will be closed on 23rd February. The research will centre upon Main Group (mainly boron) catalysis and has funding for 3 years. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

We have a #PhDposition available starting in September 2024 @EdinburghChem using high-throughput experimentation to explore the design of new catalysts. If you're interested, informal enquiries to Dr Ben Bhawal are very welcome. More details below: findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

📈 Explore one of our most read open access articles, "Late-Stage Molecular Editing Enabled by Ketone Chain-Walking Isomerization". Here, a method for the isomerization of ketones in a manner akin to the chain-walking reaction of alkenes is described. go.acs.org/66T

Taking advantage of the late summer weather. Great BBQ with @LloydJonesLab
