The Palmer Lab is currently open to applications for a (one) fully-funded PhD position.  The PhD student will work alongside a multi-disciplinary team of synthetic chemists, chemical biologists, and data scientists supported by a £3.9M EPSRC Prosperity Partnership Award centred around the development of next generation medicines beyond Lipinski space. This is a multi-year, collaborative endeavour with our industrial partner GSK, and has the overall objective of retooling the underpinning synthesis of oligonucleotides (ONs) and their derivatives, the development of platforms for cell targeting, and new approaches to heterobifunctional molecules.  More information about the PhD position can be found here. Applications should be submitted at this link. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled. [Last updated: 01/06/2026]
