Job Details

You will join the Department of Chemistry at the University of Southampton on an ERC funded project that combines aspects of Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry to develop new applications of mechanically chiral molecules, with a particular focus on their applications as catalysts, materials and sensors. You will apply the group's methodology for the synthesis of mechanically chiral molecules (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2014, 136, 4817). In addition to carrying out research, you will also liaise with industrial and academic partners and take a leadership role in the group. You will have opportunities to develop your supervision, writing, and communication skills, excellent preparation for a career in academia or industry. Duties will also include assisting in the training and supervision of PhD and final year project students.

To be successful you will have obtained a PhD in organic chemistry, with a solid grounding in organic synthesis and supramolecular chemistry with experience of supervising junior co-workers and/or supervising undergrads and MSc students.

Experience of laboratory organisation and management is a significant benefit. You should be able to demonstrate you have successfully achieved projects expectations within a deadline, as well as excellent organisational skills in order to manage the research project on a day to day basis. 

You will be based in the modern synthetic chemistry laboratories in the School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton. Support for synthetic chemistry is excellent with world class MS, NMR and X-ray facilities, each supported by dedicated specialist staff. On-line resources are first class, with most journals and SciFinder and Reaxys databases accessible on-line.

At the University of Southampton, we value diversity and equality. The University recognises that employees may wish to have working patterns that fit with their caring responsibilities or work-life balance. Due consideration will also be given to applicants who have had career breaks for reasons including maternity, paternity or adoption leave, disability or illness.
