Are you passionate about the sustainable manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and high-value chemical products? Do you have a strong background in digital chemistry and want to be part of a cutting-edge research and teaching team? If so, the University of Leeds has an exciting opportunity for you to join us as a Lecturer in Digital Chemistry for Sustainability.
The University of Leeds is an internationally leading institution at the forefront of innovative research and education in Chemistry and adjacent disciplines. Our vision is to deliver innovative research and distinctive education programmes that align with the most pressing issues facing global society, and to help realise a sustainable and healthy future for all. We are now seeking to recruit four new academic staff who will lead research programmes aligned with these pressing challenges; and contribute to our taught undergraduate and postgraduate education programmes that focus on chemistry and addressing global challenges.
Meeting the challenges of net zero in the fine chemicals, pharmaceutical and allied industries will require innovative approaches to process development. Within the School of Chemistry at Leeds, we have pioneered such approaches, including sector-leading digital and data-led approaches. Examples from the Institute of Process Research and Development (IPRD) in the School of Chemistry include closed-loop systems for autonomous reaction optimisation using evolutionary algorithms, and machine-learning approaches to solvent-switching to sustainable solutions.
In addition to completing the online application form, your application should include:
- A two-page statement which presents a compelling vision for research and research led teaching;
- Your Curriculum Vitae giving full details of qualifications and experience
This role will be based at the university of Leeds campus and there is scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
