Postdoctoral Research Fellow, School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences

School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences

The Centre for Organic Photonics and Electronics (COPE) draws together expertise from Chemistry and Physics in a combined facility (www.physics.uq.edu.au/cope). COPE has >20 senior research staff, postdoctoral fellows and research students and is housed in newly refurbished laboratories on the 9th Floor of the Chemistry building that include state-of-the-art synthesis and materials characterisation facilities; a Class 1000 clean room incorporating gloveboxes with integral evaporators for device fabrication; and prototype measurement capability. The laboratory is located on the St. Lucia campus, one of the most spacious and attractive university campuses in Australia. COPE is located within the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences (SCMB), which combines the disciplines of Chemistry, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Parasitology into a single academic unit.

The Centre has extensive experimental and theoretical research programs in optoelectronic organic materials for organic light-emitting diodes, photovoltaics, photodiodes, organic field effect transistors, and organic chemosensors.

The role

We seek applications from suitably qualified candidates to design and synthesise light-emitting materials for use in organic light-emitting diodes. In this context organic includes both all-organic and/or organometallic materials.

The person

The applicant should possess a PhD or post-doctoral experience in a relevant area of synthetic chemistry.

The University of Queensland values diversity and inclusion.

Applications are particularly encouraged from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Applications are also encouraged from women.

Remuneration

This is a full-time, fixed term appointment for 3 years at Research Academic Level A with the possibility of extension.
