PhD opportunity in University College Dublin: antimicrobial metal complexes
Supervisor: Dr Joseph Byrne
Fully-funded PhD positions in synthetic chemistry are available under the supervision of Joseph Byrne, Lecturer in Bioinorganic Chemistry in UCD.
The GlycoMetalGuard project will develop antimicrobial metallodrug candidates, with the aim of making functional polymeric coatings with the ability to control bacterial infections and address the challenge of antimicrobial resistance. In delivering this project, there will be opportunities for international and internal collaborations with disciplines beyond chemistry. Two PhD students will join this new project, complementing other research projects ongoing within the Byrne Group.
Candidates with experience in synthetic chemistry, inorganic chemistry or polymer synthesis, and interests in antimicrobial resistance and/or human disease are encouraged to apply.
To apply, please complete the application form with CV, statement of interest, and a sample of written work (https://forms.gle/kJYuEnK1vmQ
The scholarship will cover a €25,000 stipend per year and €5,750 contribution to tuition fees, as well possibility to travel for conferences and collaboration. The project is supported by Research Ireland. To be eligible to enroll on the UCD PhD programme, you will need to complete a Master or strong Bachelor in chemistry.
