Opportunities

We welcome enquiries from motivated and curious researchers interested in peptide chemistry, medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and related areas.

PhD and MSc by Research opportunities

We supervise PhD and MScR students through University of Edinburgh and external funding routes, and also welcome self-funded applicants. Prospective students with a strong background in chemistry or related disciplines are encouraged to get in touch in the first instance to discuss projects and suitability. 

Current funded PhD opportunities can be found at www.findaphd.com
