A 3-year PhD fellowship is available in organic chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, DTU from May 1, 2021 or soon thereafter. The fellowship is funded by a grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation and the project will be carried under the supervision of Professor Robert Madsen.
Responsibilities and qualifications
The main task of the candidate will be to develop new radical reactions with alcohols. A recent discovery from the Madsen group has shown that alcohols can participate in carbon-carbon bond forming reaction under basic conditions and the transformations occur by a radical mechanism. In the project, the new radical reactions will be optimized, the scope investigated with a variety of substrates and the mechanism studied with experimental and computational methods.
The successful candidate will have a degree in chemistry or chemical engineering with a strong experimental and theoretical background in organic synthesis.
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU.
