Please rt - a 4-year PhD position funded by the Chinese Scholarship Council. Come work with me @Chemistry_QMUL on synthesising helicenes and/or measuring room-temperature spin transport! #CISS #CSC #PhDposition (1/n)

It was great for a while but I should have left this cesspit of hatespeech and misinformation a long time ago. I'll be over at bluesky bsky.app/profile/jochen…

The project starts in September 2025 and covers tuition fees and a studentship for living expenses. Please contact me as soon as possible if you're interested. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! (4/4)

Why is this area interesting? A better understanding of CISS might allow us to 1) make faster/more efficient computers through room temperature spintronics or quantum tech 2) split water for hydrogen production more efficiently 3) better understand e-transport in proteins (3/4)

The deadline for expressions of interest is 01/09 and we particularly encourage researchers from underrepresented groups to apply!

Are you a chemist with a need for flexible working and up to 6 years of post-PhD research experience? Do you want to join amazing @Chemistry_QMUL ? If yes, please have a look at our call for expressions of interest in the Royal Society DHF seresearch.qmul.ac.uk/ccr/news/4775/…

@bluebananna @OxfordChemistry @StEdmundHall That's fantastic, congratulations!

🚨Big news alert 🚨 After 5 years at UCL and 10 years after defending my DPhil at Oxford, it’s time to return to the city of dreaming spires 🤩 Very excited to start my new position in Inorganic Chemistry @OxfordChemistry and @StEdmundHall this September 🥳

The deadline for expressions of interest is 28/07 and we particularly encourage researchers from underrepresented groups to apply!

Are you a chemist (in the widest sense) with 3-8 years of post-PhD research experience and want to join amazing @Chemistry_QMUL? If yes, please have a look at our call for expressions of interest in the Royal Society University Research Fellowship scheme. seresearch.qmul.ac.uk/ccr/news/4757/…

Congratulations to Katherine for winning her second first place poster prize in a month! This time as part of the annual PhD symposium @QMULSPCS. Congratulations to the other winners, too - well done, everyone! @Chemistry_QMUL

Congrats to our two ‘best poster’ laureates, Katherine, from Jochen’s group (@JochenRBrandt) and Selwin (@fernando_selwin) from Oriol’s group (@uri_planas). @Chemistry_QMUL, @QMUL, @RoySocChem

We have two Royal Society fully-funded (Home-student fees) PhD positions in the Frost group at @impchemistry in sunny White City. ML, quantum Monte-Carlo, path integrals, up-conversion of light, @JuliaLanguage and @ARCHER2_HPC ! Info: docs.google.com/document/d/1Bc… Tell your friends!📢

@ShareefSumbul @Chemistry_QMUL Thanks, I received your email and will respond in the next couple of days.

@JochenRBrandt @Chemistry_QMUL Interested

Are you interested in a postdoc in chiral materials research @Chemistry_QMUL in London? I'm happy to support applications to the Royal Society's Newton Scheme; please contact me ASAP if you're interested! #ChemPostDoc royalsociety.org/grants-schemes…

@abhikendra Can you send me an email with your CV? We can discuss things from there. Thanks!

@JochenRBrandt @Chemistry_QMUL i have recently submitted my thesis on building chiral components from achiral building blocks. chiral materials is one of my prime interests

@LEMacKz Anything more than that would get you blocked unless you have an exceptional reason to ask for more. And as this "secret" cap is not official and documented nowhere, you'd have to have somebody tell you about it. At least that's what's going on in EPSRC's "uncapped" fellowships.

@LEMacKz Wow, £300k and even £500k is not very much for your first fellowship, so I can see the improvement in getting an uncapped fellowship. Thanks for the explanation! I think my worry is that a "secret" cap will develop, where you can ask for, say, 2-3 years of postdoc & 1 equipment

BBSRC Discovery Fellowship Opportunity for 2024 is uncapped £ per application and 80% FEC. I expect this will give applicants more negotiating power with their host institutions (100% time buy-out plus full overheads). Details in link: ukri.org/opportunity/20…
