| Applications
are invited for the THREE postgraduate studentships detailed below.
Each is for three years and the student will be located in the new
Central Research Laboratory with its state of the art instrumental
and laboratory facilities.
- A three year EPSRC funded studentship
from October 1st 2004 to work with Professor D. O’Hare.
The project involves the synthesis of novel organometallic catalysts
with the aim of finding new active catalysts for the reductive
chlorination of polychlorinated compounds (PCB’s)
- A three year EPSRC CASE studentship
from October 1st 2004 in collaboration with GE Healthcare (formerly
Amersham International plc) to work with Professor J.R. Dilworth.
The project involves the synthesis characterisation and testing
of new technetium complexes for use in diagnostic medical imaging.
- A three year postgraduate studentship
in collaboration with Infineum UK, Abingdon, from October 1st
2004, to work with Professor J.R. Dilworth. The project involves
the synthesis and characterisation of novel inorganic clusters
and an investigation of their controlled decomposition to give
materials of interest as high efficiency lubricants and antioxidants.
Informal enquiries should
be addressed as soon as possible to Professor O’Hare (dermot.ohare@chem.ox.ac.uk)
or Professor Dilworth (jon.dilworth@chem.ox.ac.uk).
Graduate Studentships
in Chemistry
Applications are sought from outstanding
students of any nationality who wish to study for a doctorate in
Chemistry, commencing October 2004.
The Chemistry Department, which has the
largest graduate school in the University of Oxford, has superb
facilities that support an extremely wide range of research areas
across the chemical spectrum.
Details of research programmes and supervisors
can be found by following the links from http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/postgraduate/
Applicants should have, or expect to obtain,
a first class honours degree, or equivalent qualification, in Chemistry
or a related discipline.
If you are interested in applying for a
doctorate in Chemistry, please send a letter of application [e-mail
applications are not acceptable], indicating as closely as possible
the research area and/or preferred supervisor, together with a CV
and names and addresses (including email) of two referees to Professor
W G Richards, Chairman of Chemistry (GS), Central Chemistry Laboratory,
South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3QH.
We will make offers on the basis of
applications submitted by 27 February 2004, in the first instance,
although we will consider later applications if funding is available.
Overseas applicants should be aware that parallel scholarship applications
must be submitted to the University very early in 2004; see http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/gsp/finance/int.shtml
Marie Curie Training Fellowships
for Graduates (3-12 months)
Marie Curie Graduate Training Fellowships
are available in association with Dr. John M. Brown, Dyson Perrins
Laboratory, University of Oxford, subject to contract. Applicants
should already be registered postgraduates in an institution in
an EU member state or Associated State. Non-UK Nationals of EU or
Associated States (or non EU nationals who are long term Community
residents) are welcome to apply. For full details of eligibility
see: http://www.cordis.lu/improving/fellowships/mcf_tsites.htm.
The successful candidates will spend a period
of leave of between 3 and 12 months (preferably 6 months or longer)
from their main Ph. D. studies to gain specific training in an area
of catalysis allied to organic synthesis or mechanism. Return travel
and a generous monthly stipend (1200 Euro) will be provided. Projects
will be available in several areas - see : http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/researchguide/jbrown.html
The Dyson Perrins Laboratory has excellent scientific and information
resources for full support of these projects, and the research group
has an international outlook with many exchanges and collaborations.
Applications by current CV should be sent at any time to Dr. John
Brown before the period of the intended visit (bjm@herald.ox.ac.uk);
a letter of reference from your Ph. D. supervisor should also be
sent concurrently. Oxford University is an equal opportunities employer.
Full Ph.D. applications should alternatively
be directed to Dr. Jeremy Robertson, see http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/dp/apply.html
