Opportunities

Mike supervises several Part II students each year. These projects involve a wide range of topics including inorganic synthesis, spectroscopy and mechanism and reaction development. Check out our research areas for a taste of the chemistry we work on. 

The Part II project is conducted over approximately 8 months and will provide an invaluable opportunity to gain experience in organometallic chemistry, catalysis and inorganic spectroscopy. A Part II project in our lab will equip you with a wide array of fundamental skills and expertise for research in modern inorganic and organic synthesis & catalysis.

If you are interested in undertaking a Part II project in the group, contact Mike by email to discuss available research areas. Group members will also be available to chat to during the Part II open day in Hilary term.

Studentships are typically advertised on the departmental webpage. Applications from overseas PhD candidates are very welcome. These applicants generally need to secure scholarships to fund their studies in Oxford. Information on Graduate Admissions, Studentships and sources of funding can be found in the Oxford University Graduate Prospectus, which is on-line here.

While funded vacancies for postdoctoral research fellows in the Neidig group are advertised through the departmental job advert page, we are always looking for high motivated candidates with strong research experience. Excellent potential postdoctoral scholars are encouraged to apply for independent funding (see below), strong candidates will receive support with these applications. Potential sources of funding include: 

Marie Curie Fellowships

Royal Society Newton International Fellowships

DAAD, DFG (German scientists)

NSERC (Canadian scientists)

Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851

Leverhulme Trust
