The project will involve small molecule and polymer synthesis, DNA handling as well as extensive polymer and materials characterisation.
Applicants should have (or be about to receive) an honours degree (at least II.1 or equivalent and a Masters degree is preferred) in chemistry, or other relevant discipline, and should have experience with organic and/or polymer synthesis and characterization.

PhD positions are available in our group each year, usually starting in October. If you are interested in doctoral studies in the group then please contact me as soon as possible. An application should consist of your CV, a cover letter, and the names of two academic mentors who know your work and could provide a reference. There are a number of scholarships available through the University to fund graduate studies (see this link for details). Information about graduate studies at Warwick is also available on the University website. Further information on PhD funding can be found at the following link.
We do encourage researchers who would like to join our research team to apply for fellowship opportunities, for more details contact rachel.oreilly@warwick.ac.uk directly or write to rorgroup@warwick.ac.uk.
Funding is available for UK/EU students to start in 2014, please contact ROR (r.k.o-reilly@warwick.ac.uk) if interested.
