Project: Computer guided catalyst design for Metal-X Insertion into triple bonds

UPV/EHU are seeking to appoint an ESR (Early Stage Researcher)/PhD for 36 months to i) systematically study by computational means the geometrical and energy features of different metal centres during the insertion step, ii) gather computational data for the influence of different types of ligands on the regioselectivity of the reactions, and iii) check the accuracy of different computational methods and levels to reproduce the experimental results of representative insertion reactions. The ESR will be trained in essential techniques in organic synthesis and computational chemistry, as part of the Joint Degree with the University of Sheffield. A further 3-month Industrial Secondment at Evotec will use DFT methods to build 3D-QSAR models to deliver interesting drug-like molecules.

Informal Enquiries may be sent to Prof Enrique Gomez
