PhD Project in carbohydrate and supramolecular chemsitry
The department of chemistry invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in supramolecular protecting groups for carbohydrate synthesis. The project is part of the research project European Network on the Supramolecular Chemistry of Carbohydrates (ENSCC) - a Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Doctorate Network (DN)funded by the European Commission (Grant agreement no: 101119492).
Start date is expected to be 1 September 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project
In this project, we will use macrocycles, provided by members of the ENSCC network, for selective temporary protection of hydroxy groups on various carbohydrates. The substrates will be common carbohydrates with a minimum of protective groups. The temporally non-covalent “protection/activation” by the interaction with the macrocycle will allow for selective chemical derivatization of specific hydroxy groups, giving site-selective modifications. This could, as examples, be the installment of protective groups like esters, glycosylations or oxidation reactions. Initial studies will be performed using already available macrocycles, but in time, new types of macrocycles will be developed based on the results obtained. Some initial screening of host-guest interactions will be performed at UCPH and followed up by members of the ENSCC network.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of organic synthesis, with a background in carbohydrate and/or supramolecular chemistry. Experience with both synthesis and analytical chemistry is a plus. Good spoken and written English are also required.
Specifically, the candidate will work on:
Our group and research- and what do we offer?
The group is a part of the section of organic chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.
We offer an international, creative and stimulating workinging enviroment. The principal supervisor will be Associate Professor Christian Marcus Pedersen.
The PhD programme
Qualifications needed for the regular programme
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. organic chemistry. For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.
Terms of employment in the regular programme
Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years.
Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. This requires submission and acceptance of an application for the specific project formulated by the applicant.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. The position is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure.
Responsibilities and tasks in the PhD programmes
We are looking for the following qualifications:
