A PhD studentship is available in the group led by Dr. Sijbren Otto as part of a EU Marie Curie Research Training Network called DCC (www-dcc.ch.cam.ac.uk). The project will involve the development of new applications of dynamic combinatorial chemistry based on molecular recognition, and will combine organic synthesis, analytical chemistry and functional studies. Further information can be found in Science 2002, 297, 590, Chem. Rev. 2006, 106, 3652, Chem. Soc. Rev. 2008, 37,101 and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 46, 8858.
