Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Synthetic Organic Chemistry & Molecular Electronics to work under the supervision of Professor Harry Anderson for a period of up to 36 months. The project involves the synthesis and investigation of switchable molecular wires and is funded by EPSRC.
Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry or a relevant subject area, (or be close to completion) prior to taking up your appointment. The research requires experience in multi-step organic synthesis, particularly the synthesis of high molecular weight molecular redox-active compounds and π-conjugated oligomers. You will be expected to manage your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small-scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines.
The post will be based in the Department of Chemistry, Chemistry Research Laboratory and is available from March 2024.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience. Certificates, references and research papers should not be provided at this stage.
