Organic Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

PhD in Organic Chemistry involves the study of the structure, properties, preparation and reactions of organic compounds.

What's it like to study a PhD in Organic Chemistry?

As an Organic Chemistry PhD student, you'll spend most of your time working in a laboratory, either carrying out original research or working towards an independent study thesis. Some research projects will have a clinical or health focus, but many are purely academic.

Possible research areas include:

• Bioprocess engineering
• Polymer chemistry
• Nano materials
• Chemical biology
• Organic materials chemistry

Some Organic Chemistry research projects have a specific focus, such as the impact of anthropogenic activity on the water cycle, or will sit within a wider area of research in chemistry.

It's likely you'll work with a supervisor or a team of researchers with a similar research focus. You'll likely have regular meetings with your supervisor to review your progress, and to consult on any changes to your project.

Most PhDs in Organic Chemistry will require you to write an 80,000-word thesis to be defended in an oral viva examination at the end of your study.

Entry requirements for a PhD in Organic Chemistry

The minimum entry requirement for a PhD in Organic Chemistry is usually a 2:1 undergraduate degree in a relevant subject, such as Biology, Chemistry or Physics, along with a Masters qualification. You may be asked to submit a research proposal as part of your application.

PhD in Organic Chemistry funding options 

In the UK, PhDs in Organic Chemistry are funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) or Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). Projects will usually have funding attached, meaning you'll automatically be awarded coverage of your tuition fees and living costs, along with a tax-free stipend, if you're accepted onto one.

Some students can also apply for separate funding, which is sometimes offered through the university or through a charity or trust.

PhD in Organic Chemistry careers

With expertise in organic chemistry, you could go on to do almost anything! You could work in pharmaceuticals, forensics, chemical engineering, forensics, energy or food. You could also work for the government or in academia.

Two PhD positions in organic/medicinal chemistry

Job information, offer description.

The group of Dr. Pavla Perlíková ( https://uoch.vscht.cz/research-groups/perlikova-en ) at the Department of Organic Chemistry of the University of Chemistry and Technology (UCT) in Prague is looking for two PhD students in organic/medicinal chemistry. The candidates will focus on the development of Arp2/3 inhibitors with antimetastatic activity.

Migrastatics represent a new concept of drugs with a great potential to improve the outcome of the current cancer treatment strategies by inhibiting metastatic behavior of cancer cells. Our goal is to use rational design to develop new inhibitors of actin polymerization by targeting the Arp2/3 complex (actin-polymerization nucleator). The project includes a synthesis of hits from virtual screening and its optimization and structure-activity relationship studies. The positions are funded by the Czech Science Foundation.

• Study at the largest higher education institution devoted to education and research in the field of chemistry in Central Europe
• Work in a small team and friendly environment

We are looking for:

• Highly motivated candidates with background in synthetic organic chemistry
• MSc. degree in organic/medicinal chemistry (or a soon-to-be graduate)
• Pro-active, flexible and responsible students
• Excellent command of English (oral and written)
• Interviews to be conducted in March 2023
• Expected start: September 2023

How to apply

Please send a motivation letter covering the reason for application, skills and abilities, which make the applicant a good candidate, professional interests and expectations (maximum one page), your CV including a list of publications, and a letter of recommendation by the MSc. advisor via email to [email protected] . Applications are accepted until February 28th 2023. Short-listed candidates will be invited to an online interview.

Chemistry Education Research and Practice

A case study on graduate teaching assistants’ teacher noticing when enacting a case-comparison activity in organic chemistry.

* Corresponding authors

a Department of Chemistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA E-mail: [email protected]

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) hold a unique positionality as instructors and research mentors to undergraduate students, research mentees to faculty members, and employees to an institution. With limited pedagogical training and teaching resources, the enactment of planned teaching activities and learning resources may be influenced by how GTAs conceptualize their teacher identity, role, and experiences. In this study, we explored how chemistry GTAs enacted a scaffolded, cooperative-learning case-comparison activity in a second-semester organic chemistry laboratory course. Our study was guided by the conceptual framework of teacher noticing. Teacher noticing – an instructor observing “important” instructional moments and connecting their observations to theory and practice – is a part of developing instructional responses based on students’ reasoning. Pairing this conceptual framework with a case study methodology, we recruited two GTAs, and conducted a pre-observation interview, two observations, and a post-observation interview. We explored GTAs’ teacher noticing – what they observed and interpreted as well as how they shaped and responded. We exposed the tension and the resolution between learning objectives ( i.e. , objectives set by the instructional team for students) and teaching objectives ( i.e. , objectives set by the GTAs for themselves and their students). GTAs’ framing seemed to influence their shaping, and their shaping seemed to balance the instructional team's learning objective and GTAs’ teaching objectives. Because chemistry GTAs serve as instructors in many science undergraduate courses, understanding the unique GTA framing may support both graduate and undergraduate learning experiences. Furthermore, our study has implications for researchers who design organic chemistry learning resources to consider different ways GTAs may support students’ learning. This study additionally has implications for faculty instructors to develop transformative, consistent professional development opportunities focused on transparency, collaboration, and community in teacher learning.
