Inspiring the next generation of catalytic chemists is an important activity for all researchers. In this exhibit we will show some recent activities that have been developed to give school pupils some hands-on insights into chemistry in general and catalysis in particular. We will also show how low-cost digital technology can…
Our new newsletter is out now with articles on our new members and current research, the new UK Catalysis Hub projects and publications. Visit https://ukcatalysishub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Newsletteron2021v2.pdf to read and download.
We are looking for a highly motivated post-doc to work on a project at the chemistry-biology interface looking to improve the sustainability of chemical synthesis. The project seeks to design new metalloenzymes using unnatural amino acids or synthetic cofactors and to apply these catalysts in selective chemical synthesis. Initially these metalloenzymes…
Applications are invited for a 3.5 year PhD studentship across the Davidson and Buchard groups in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath, UK. In this project you will develop innovative synthetic and catalytic methodologies to produce novel monomers and polymers for sustainable materials, and investigate their applications,…
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow in Synthetic Organic Chemistry and Catalysis to work under the supervision of Dr Miriam O’Duill in the School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham for a period of 36 months. This post is funded by the EPSRC project ‘Alkyl(aryl)iodonium Reagents for Late-Stage Alkylation’ which investigates the…
The EPSRC and SFI Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Sustainable Chemistry: Atoms-2-Products is offering 48-month PhD studentships associated with materials synthesis and characterisation in its thematic area “HeatToPower: A new generation of sustainable thermoelectric materials and devices”.Thermoelectric materials are capable of converting wasted heat into useful electrical energy and…
When: 29 March 2022, 15:00 GMT The presence of micropollutants – pharmaceuticals, pesticides, phthalates and hormones – in water is a major global health and environmental challenge. Conventional wastewater processes are not capable of effectively removing these compounds, often found at very low concentrations, µg L-1 or even ng L-1, leading…
When: 25 February, 15:00 GMT Increasing demand for materials and energy, coupled with more stringent curbs on greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants necessitates the urgent need for development of new improved and efficient chemical technologies for sustainable manufacturing of chemicals. In this context Catalysis is the most important technology to…
We are looking for 2 highly motivated PhD candidates willing to work at the University of Birmingham in the interception of material science, chemistry, fundamental and applied electrochemistry. Ideally, the candidate should have a 2.1 of higher degree in chemistry, or a related discipline. This project will investigate the (photo)electrochemical…
When: 14 July 2021, 15:00 BST Computational studies of homogeneous catalysis play an increasingly important role in furthering (and changing) our understanding of catalytic cycles and can help to guide the discovery and evaluation of new catalysts. While a truly “rational design” process remains out of reach, detailed mechanistic information…
