The Forgan Group is based in the School of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow. Our research focusses on the development and application of metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, which are porous inorganic-organic hybrid constructs. For more information on our projects involving new self-assembly protocols, biomimetic catalysis and drug delivery, click the Research tab.
22/10/2024: We have two open postdoctoral vacancies for which we invite applications, one focussed on drug delivery and one on crystallography. Click here for more information and more news stories.
We have a fully funded PhD vacancy which is availabe for immediate commencement, in collaboration with Syngenta, examining aspects of the crystal sponge technique and electron diffraction (home fees only). Applicants should email Prof Forgan with a CV and cover letter.
Self-funded students or those who wish to apply for external scholarships are encouraged to apply all year round in any area of materials or supramolecular chemistry. Interested potential students should contact Prof Forgan directly by email, enclosing a cover letter, a copy of your CV, and information of the funding scheme you wish to apply for. Summer placements for 2025 are also being considered - email for more details.
We have no postdoctoral vacancies at present. We are always keen to hear from prospective PDRAs intending to apply for their own funding. If you have or wish to apply for external funding to work with Prof Forgan, please email him directly.
Prof Forgan currently teaches the Chemistry 1 Transition Metals lecture course - click here for additional materials - and the final year i4 Applied Coordination Chemistry Course. If you have any questions, please contact Prof Forgan by email.
Prof Forgan is the Head of the Functional Molecules and Assemblies Research Grouping and the School of Chemistry Impact Champion.
