Universidad de Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
Description
ECHONET is focused on the training of young researchers in Organic Synthesis. The main research objective is to apply and develop new methodologies that can be used to prepare novel compounds for applications (e.g. agrochemicals). ECHONET integrates ten academic and industrial groups from six European countries. The 3-year contract will start immediately with the aim of obtaining the PhD. The ESR will be trained in essential techniques in organic synthesis and will gain an understanding of the synthetic methodology required for total synthesis, which has an extensive impact in both the pharmaceutical industry and academic environments. Additional postgraduate courses, together with secondments, will provide a clear perspective of current protocols and possible synergies that can be exploited by the trainee for her/his future career.
