5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Synthesis and Characterisation of Iron-Based Catalysts
Summary of PhD Program:
The project will focus on the development and understanding of the iron catalyst. We will prepare well-defined iron complexes and test their activity in the nucleophilic substitution of alcohols. We will probe catalyst speciation using a range of techniques (NMR, UV-vis, mass spectrometry, etc.) and use X-ray crystallography to characterise potential catalyst resting states. We will undertake a detailed kinetics study into both inter and intramolecular variants of the organic transformation, and use the knowledge gained to feed into the complementary organic synthesis undertaken by the Taylor group.
Application Deadline: 5 February 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Quantum Information in Spacetime
Summary of PhD Program:
In the past 25 years, relativistic quantum information has become an increasingly active field of research. Practical applications include protocols for bit commitment and related cryptographic tasks, versions of quantum money that do not require long-term quantum memory, position verification schemes and related tasks, and algorithms for summoning and routing quantum states on distributed quantum networks where signalling bounds are relevant. New experiments have been proposed that use quantum information to test the quantum nature of gravity, along with various models characterising possible relationships between quantum information and spacetime and their implications for the power of physical information processing, communication and sensing.
Application Deadline: 4 January 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in chemical origin of lipid membrane diversity
Summary of PhD Program:
The origin of cell membranes is a major unresolved issue in evolution. Evolutionary biology points to the existence of primitive cells with compositionally diverse membranes. However, the assumption that such lipid diversity is dependent upon enzymatic chemistry has generated models comprising compositionally minimal membranes (binary or ternary mixtures of short-chain fatty or phosphatidic acids). This project aims to reconcile biology and chemistry by challenging the critical limiting assumption that lipid diversity cannot be achieved through non-enzymatic chemistries. The project will lead to a fundamental understanding of the origins of lipid diversity, including the features now associated with bacterial and archaeal lipids; new strategies based on compositionally diverse membranes to probe, sense or replicate cellular behaviours; and a deep-rooted understanding of the emergence and evolution of cellular processes at the molecular level.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Multi-omics in Population Cohorts
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of this programme is to capitalise on the UK’s great strengths in well-established longitudinal population cohorts (e.g., UK Biobank, INTERVAL) that combine linkage to NHS health record systems, genetic and genomic information, and wide-angle multi-omics assays that capture thousands of molecular analytes in blood. These powerful large-scale resources can be harnessed to understand biological processes, evaluate causes of diseases singly and in combination (multimorbidity), identify potential drug targets, discover disease subtypes, and create disease prediction algorithms.
Application Deadline: 22 December 2023
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biomedical Data Science
Summary of PhD Program:
The expanding wealth of biomolecular and health data in human cohorts worldwide is transforming how we do research and the impact that it has. We are discovering new drug targets, identifying new drugs, repurposing existing drugs, creating new risk prediction and prevention strategies and guiding the design of clinical trials. Our research groups work at the cutting edge of genomics, multi-omics, machine learning and epidemiology to develop and apply multi-purpose molecular tools, notably polygenic scores, to gain insights into the molecular underpinnings of disease and improve disease risk prediction.
Application Deadline: 22 December 2023
