We are looking for a new member of the team with experience in advanced synthetic organic chemistry to work on an exciting project catalysis based reaction discovery and application. This ~3 year position is advertised here: https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CMQ425/research-fellow-in-synthetic-organic-chemistry Informal enquiries welcome to my @bham email.

We have a PDRA position available to start before Feb 2022 to work on developing new catalysis based methods – see the advert here: https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CJH948/research-fellow-in-synthetic-organic-chemistryInformal enquiries to learn more about the position are welcomed and can be sent to Paul (see UoB website for email address), but formal applications must be made through the UniversityContinue reading “New Position”

We are delighted to welcome new members to the team, with Bethan Greene joining us for PhD studies, and Clare Rabbitt, Nick Gocher and Alice Oram joining for their MSci projects! See https://syncatdavies.com/group-members

We’re sorry to see Prakash leave us after two eventful years, and wish him the best for his new position at Sygnature Discovery. Some of Prakash’s work on alkynyl thioether chemistry has been published here, with more to follow in due course.

Congratulations to Peter and Prakash whose work showing the use of alkynyl thioethers with isoxazole-type nitrenoids has been published in ACS Catalysis. This work is in collaboration with Eli Lilly and Dr Jeff Richardson. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acscatal.1c01457

We are looking to appoint a new member of the artificial metalloenzymes team, focusing more on the structural peptide and bioinorganic aspects, working with Dr Anna Peacock’s group here in Birmingham. Details are in the advert – do get in touch with any questions. https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CDV812/research-fellow-in-artificial-metalloenzymes

A belated welcome to Richard who joined the artificial metalloenzymes team in January. We’re delighted to have him on board, bringing his expertise in organometallic chemistry and catalysis through carbohydrate chemistry and organic cages. See here for more details.

many congratulations to Ana who passed her viva today, examined by Professors Steven Cobb and John Fossey. Best wishes for your next position at Sygnature

Tom Squire is starting his PhD on a joint project with us and the Peacock group in Birmingham. Tom is joining our artificial metalloenzyme team and is funded through the BBSRC funded MIBTP programme.
