Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 1 year in the first instance.

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate to join the group of Prof. Alexander Forse at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.

Essential requirements:

• (i) candidates must have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in Chemistry,
• (ii) candidates must have PhD level experience in electrochemistry
• (iii) candidates must have PhD level experience in NMR spectroscopy

Please detail how you meet the essential requirements in a cover letter when applying.

Research in the Forse group centers around the development of new materials for climate change mitigation. This project will develop electrostatic catalysis at electrode-electrolyte interfaces as possible replacement for less sustainable catalysis. Day to day, the successful candidate will carry out electrochemistry experiments, as well as in situ NMR spectroscopy experiments for reaction monitoring.

We are keen to see as many applications as possible from BAME applicants, women, applicants with diverse gender identities, and other underrepresented groups in the chemical sciences. We encourage good work-life balance, and accommodate flexible working arrangements.
