Doctoral Candidates

PIA will recruit 6 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) to address individual research projects.

  • DC1
    -
    Name and Surname

    C-H Meta functionalization of aryl and heteroaryl unit through merger of Pd-catalysis and visible light photocatalysis: direct trifluomethylation and oxytrifluoromethylation

  • DC2
    -
    Name and Surname

    The main objective of this individual research project (WWU, Germany) will focus on the mild and selective functionalization of commonly occurring amide moieties in bioactive compounds, aiming at providing new methodologies for the fast and efficient activity-modulation of promising structures towards new leads.

  • DC3
    -
    Name and Surname

    The goal of this individual research project (CNRS, France) is to provide a methodology that allows building fluorinated azoles. In this context, we will focus on developing Nfunctionalization of commonly occurring N-heteroaryl in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

  • DC4
    -
    Name and Surname

    The main objective of this individual research project is the development of new methods for photocatalytic cycloadditions using heterocycles as main starting materials (UAM, Spain).

  • DC5
    -
    Name and Surname

    The main objective of this individual research project (WWU, Germany) is the development of photocatalytic methodologies in both batch and flow conditions for the preparation of alkylated heterocycles as relevant synthetic building blocks and pharmaceutical components.

  • DC6
    -
    Name and Surname

    The main objective of this individual research project (UAM, Spain) is the development of photocatalytic methodologies for the direct C-H functionalization of heterocycles driven by light.
