6 European Financed PhD in Organic Chemistry (3 years)
within the MSCA-Doctoral Network
“Photocatalytic Industrial Applications"
Expected starting date: between June and October 2025.
Application deadline: 16th March 2025
Within a European program “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network - Industrial Doctorate”, bringing together academic and industrial laboratories, the consortium: Photocatalytic Industrial Applications (PIA), (Grant Agreement Nr. 101168878), which we belong to, is offering 6 funded PhD opportunities.
"The PIA doctoral programme will train 6 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in the field of photocatalysis applied to the pharmaceutical industry. PhD trainers in pharmaceutically applied photochemistry will be in high demand by industry in the coming years considering that one of the pillars of the European Union is the use of renewable energy sources for the production of chemicals. To achieve this objective, the PIA consortium combines the drug discovery research experience of three pharmaceutical European companies (Sanofi-Aventis, SEQENS and Synthelia Organics) with the outstanding research in the field of photocatalysis of three academic groups (FRONCAT, Géraldine Masson and Olga García-Mancheño)."
