Project Manager for LabFact Organic Chemistry: SCF

Location: Highfield Campus

We are looking for a Project Manager to oversee the day-to-day implementation of a 6 million € project supported by the European Regional Development Fund through its FranceEngland Interreg V programme.  The project, entitled “LabFact: Turning Laboratories into the Factories of the Future”, brings together chemistry teams from across the France and England region with expertise in flow chemistry and the reagentless synthesis of complex organic molecules.  As an enthusiastic professional, you’ll co-ordinate the project as a whole and manage specifically the day-to-day local activities of affiliated personnel in the University of Southampton.

Be a part of the University of Southampton, an institution in the top one per cent of world universities* and one of the UK’s top 15 research-intensive universities.  We have a collaborative culture and an international reputation for research, teaching and enterprise activities.  * QS World University Rankings 2016-17  

Southampton Chemistry is among the best in the UK for teaching and research with an international reputation for excellence, entrepreneurship and successful transnational collaboration.  The chemistry teams include experts in organic synthesis and flow chemistry who are supported by facilities such as state-of-the-art Mass Spectrometry and NMR instrumentation and the world renowned National X-ray Crystallography Service. 

The chemical sector has a turnover of 82.4 billion € p.a. in France and £60 billion in the UK where it sustains ~500,000 jobs.  In recent years, jobs in the FranceEngland region have been haemorrhaged to the low-tax and low-wage economies.  LabFact believe that trend can be reversed by enhancing the attractiveness of our region for chemistry oriented SMEs and biotechs by helping them to capitalise on the skills available within its research-led institutions. LabFact aims to achieve economic impact using a twin-pronged approach.  Firstly, we will apply our distinctive expertise to develop fine chemical products for exploitation by locally-based industry. Secondly, we will provide cross-channel technical support and training to SMEs in the emerging technologies of reagentless and flow chemistry through continuous professional development courses, summer schools, consultation services and ‘try before you buy’ opportunities.

If you need any assistance, please call Elsa Samwell (Recruitment Team) on +44 (0) 23 8059 2507. Please quote reference 917717EB on all correspondence.
