Description

Applications are invited for the position of
Postdoctoral Research Associate in
Synthesis of Porphyrin-Based Molecular Wires and Nanorings to work under the supervision of Professor Harry Anderson for a period of 12 months.

The project involves the synthesis and investigation of π-conjugated porphyrin-based molecular wires and nanorings, particularly molecular wires incorporating several paramagnetic metal centres.

Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry (or be close to completion) prior to taking up your appointment. The research requires experience in multi-step organic synthesis, particularly the synthesis of high molecular weight molecular redox-active π-systems. 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, Chemistry Research Laboratory and is available from June 2024.
