学校简介

诺丁汉大学（University of Nottingham），位于英国英格兰诺丁汉市，初创于1881年，是一所世界百强名校，顶尖公立研究型大学。诺丁汉大学是许多集团的成员，包括被誉为英国常春藤的研究联盟罗素大学集团、中英大学工程教育与联盟、萨顿信托13、Universitas 21、英联邦大学协会和欧洲大学协会等。诺丁汉大学在英国乃至世界范围内获得广泛美誉，荣获如英国“女王企业奖”和“女王高等教育年度金奖”等。

诺丁汉大学在英国共有六大校区，教职员约5000人，师生比例为一比十四。学生总数约30000名，其中6000人来自海外。目前，诺丁汉大学在中华人民共和国的宁波和马来西亚吉隆坡设有两处海外校区，直属于诺丁汉大学并参与综合学术排名。

诺丁汉大学设有五大学院，分别是艺术商业学院、医疗和生命科学院、理学院、工学院、社会、法律和教育学院。在由英国官方REF 2014英国大学排名中，高居第8位。世界排名中，位列2021QS世界大学排名第99位，2021THE世界大学排名157位，2021U.S NEWS世界大学排名152位，2020软科世界大学学术排名第101-150位。

项目介绍

Applications are invited for a PhD Studentship, starting October 2021, in the School of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham. This project will focus on the development of new interpretable and interactive machine learning models and data-driven strategies for predicting consensus green chemistry metrics, enabling researchers to make AI-augmented rational assessments of different chemical synthetic routes. 

The project will be supervised by Jonathan Hirst and is part of a major new award from the Royal Academy of Engineering Chairs in Emerging Technologies scheme. The project, will involve close collaboration with a range of synthetic chemists with a specific focus on green and sustainable chemistry, via the EPSRC-funded Prosperity Partnership “Accelerated Discovery and Development of New Medicines: Prosperity Partnership for a Healthier Nation” and the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in “Sustainable Chemistry: Atoms-2-Products an Integrated Approach to Sustainable Chemistry”. The project will provide a range of experience in computer programming and the development and application of machine learning algorithms to chemistry. 

Funding notes: The studentship is fully-funded for 48 months. Stipend at the RCUK rate (currently £15,285 per annum) and tuition fees will be paid at the UK rate. International students will have to pay the difference between UK and international fees. 

项目要求

Applicants should have, or expected to achieve, at least a 2:1 Honours degree (or equivalent if from other countries) in Chemistry or a related subject. A MChem/MSc-4-year integrated Masters, a BSc + MSc or a BSc with substantial research experience will be highly advantageous. Experience in computer programming will also be beneficial.
