Doctoral position in Chemistry

Highlights:

1. This 3.5 year PhD research project is funded by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC; www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and was awarded by the Chemistry Innovation Knowledge Transfer Network to CCDC in collaboration with the University of Bradford (UoB; www.bradford.ac.uk). 
2. The doctoral student will be based at UoB, which has the relevant expertise and facilities for Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP).  The project encompasses an industrial placement at CCDC.
