Research Fellow in Inorganic Chemistry
Your next career opportunity
You will drive the synthesis and characterisation of pressure-responsive inorganic molecular materials within a collaborative ARC project. You will gain hands-on experience with high-pressure X-ray diffraction, SQUID magnetometry, and advanced spectroscopic techniques. You will also mentor students, oversee laboratory safety, and build an independent research profile.
What you will deliver:
- Design, synthesise and grow crystals of inorganic molecular materials that show pressure-responsive physical and electronic properties.
- Perform high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements using synchrotron and SQUID magnetometry facilities.
- Lead characterisation using techniques such as electrochemistry, powder diffraction, NMR, EPR and electronic spectroscopy.
- Oversee laboratory operations, including equipment maintenance, safety compliance, risk assessments, and support for junior researchers.
- Publish high-quality research, contribute to funding proposals, and present findings at seminars, conferences and public forums.
You may be a great fit if:
- Hold a PhD or equivalent in Chemistry, ideally with an inorganic or materials focus.
- Demonstrate strong expertise in single-crystal X-ray diffraction, including data collection, analysis and interpretation.
- Show a growing publication record and clear ambition to build an independent academic research career.
- Manage research projects effectively, meeting deadlines while working both independently and within collaborative teams.
- Bring experience with magnetometry or related characterisation techniques, or enthusiasm to develop these specialised skills.
- Engage confidently with diverse stakeholders, and support inclusive, safe and well-organised laboratory and school communities.
