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.
12/06/2024: Prof Forgan has been awarded the RSC Peter Day Memorial Prize 2024, for contributions to the development of MOFs as energy materials. Click here for more information and more news stories.
We currently have no funded PhD positions available for 2024. 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 2024 are also being considered - email for more details.
We currently have no postdoctoral positions available. 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.
