Description

Salary:
£37,099 (restricted due to funding)


FTE:
1 (35 hours/week)


Term:
Fixed Term (36 months)

Closing date: 26 February 2024


Applications are invited from outstanding, highly motivated researchers for a postdoctoral vacancy (fixed term, 36 months) for a project on the "Rational Development of Organocaesium Chemistry" sponsored by the Leverhulme Trust to start on 1 April 2024.

Numerous chemicals including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and natural products are made using organolithium reagents. In 2020 the European Commission added Li to the Critical Raw Materials list for low-carbon technologies.

With increasing exploitation of low-carbon technologies for a net zero emission society, demands for Li are increasing rapidly, hence the availability of organolithium reagents may become more limited in the future.

For assured greater sustainability, new alternative organometallic reagents are essential.

Formal interviews for this post will be held in March 2024.
