Scholarship Description:
PhD in Synthetic Organometallic Chemistry Scholarship
The research project involves the development of a novel polymerization strategy for strained metallocycles, yielding a class of functional main-chain metallopolymers with a tuneable electronic structure. These materials have potential applications in fields such as photovoltaics, light emission, and magnetic materials. The project, led by Dr. Rebecca Musgrave, will provide extensive training in synthetic techniques and the use of various characterization methods.
Eligibility: The student should have obtained a strong Master’s degree in Chemistry (or similar) by the start of the project and not already possess a PhD.
Required Documents: Interested candidates should contact Dr. Rebecca Musgrave by email, attaching an up-to-date CV.
How to Apply: Candidates must apply via King’s Apply online application system. For questions about the research project, contact Rebecca Musgrave (rebecca.musgrave@kcl.ac.uk).
