About you

Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry or a related area (or be close to completion) prior to taking up the appointment. Have expertise in the synthesis and characterisation of framework materials, and particularly exposure to the use of crystallographic methods for determining the structures of complex systems with correlated disorder.

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, Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, South Parks Road, OX1 3QR and is available from October 2024.

Application Process
