We are always looking for people with a genuine passion for organic synthesis. If you also have a strong track record, good work ethic and if you would like to integrate the international research team, your application might be suitable.
Available and fully-funded positions are normally advertised. However, your application for a position could be considered if you provide your own funding. You may wish to examine the following options.
Importantly, if you are not a native speaker, you will need an English Language certificate of proficiency (IELTS is recommended) before applying for most of these awards in the case of PhD studies.
