Overview
A Ph.D. position is available in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Hertfordshire (UH) to work on the development of computational models to predict the physicochemical properties of small molecules based on knowledge of their chemical structure. In silico prediction of such properties can give insight into the likely ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicology) profile of a compound, and importantly highlight those compounds with ADMET profiles which are contrary to their continued development as, for example, pharmaceutical or agrochemical agents. By systematically examining the wealth of data and existing methodologies in the public domain we will develop a series of new, robust mathematical models to enable the prediction of important properties of a compound from its chemical structure.
Value of this studentship
The Ph.D. studentship is offered on a full-time basis, carries a stipend of up to £12000, and will be based at the College Lane Campus of the University at Hatfield, Herts UK. The successful applicant will have a minimum 2:1 degree classification in Chemistry, Pharmacy, or a related discipline, and preference will be given to those candidates with experience in computational chemistry.
The position is available from Summer 2010.
How to apply
To discuss this position further, please contact Dr. Stewart Kirton (s.b.kirton3@herts.ac.uk). For application forms please email j.kilvington@herts.ac.uk. The closing date for applications is 30th April 2010.
