Join Jonathan George’s group on a Leverhulme-funded, three-year project investigating biomimetic synthesis of complex natural products, particularly meroterpenoids. The work develops cascade reactions using dearomatisation, rearrangement and cycloaddition, linking total synthesis to reaction discovery and mechanistic analysis. It includes synthesis, purification, structural characterisation and collaboration with computational chemists and researchers in biosynthesis and natural products. The annual salary is GBP 37,369–45,641. Applicants can develop conference, publication, mentoring and labo
In Organic Chemistry and Catalysis
Three-year doctoral employment investigating microbial secondary metabolites as biofungicides.
