Postdoctoral research fellowships

At the moment, the only way I can take on a postdoctoral research fellow is if they have their own funding or are willing to put in significant effort to writing a proposal. If you have a *very* strong cv, you are welcome to email to discuss potential external funding applications (e.g. Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowships, DFG or DAAD Fellowships, Newton Fellowships).

PhD studentships

I am unlikely to have funding for PhD students other than through the Bristol Centre for Doctoral Training in Technology-Enhanced Chemical Synthesis – this is a separate application process with details on the appropriate website.

If you already have your own funding as a PhD student, you are welcome to email me about possible projects.

You should note that I do not make the decisions about acceptance – this is made by the postgraduate admissions director – you will need to apply directly to the School of Chemistry at http://www.bris.ac.uk/chemistry/courses/postgraduate/ , mentioning that you are interested in working in the Clayden group.

Bristol MSci undergraduates

We usually take on 3 or 4 final year undergraduate research projects each year: information is circulated to 3rd year MSci students in the spring term before the October project start date, and perspective project students are welcome to email or visit my lab at any time to discuss projects.

Internships (Erasmus/Masters/PhD level)

Students from EU Universities / French Grandes Écoles with enquiries about short (3-12 month) research placements are welcome to contact me by email. We sometimes have limited space for EU students wishing to undertake short (usually 3-6 month) research placements, and for students from elsewhere if they have their own funding for travel and accommodation. In general, 3 to 6 month placements between April and September are most practical to accommodate.
