Research Fellow (Solid-state NMR of Zeolites & MOFs) – AR2710NB
School of Chemistry

School of Chemistry Salary: £34,304 - £37,467 per annum Start Date: 1 October 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter Fixed term: Until 30 September 2025

The University of St Andrews is seeking an inorganic, physical or materials chemist, with experience in solid-state NMR spectroscopy and the characterization of complex inorganic materials. The position is full-time, on a fixed contract until 30 September 2025, and is funded through the UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The successful candidate will join the research groups of Professors Russell Morris and Sharon Ashbrook.

 

The role will involve the development and application of advanced multinuclear NMR methodology for the detailed characterization of porous solids that combine properties of both zeolites and metal organic frameworks with the goal of developing new classes of hybrid solids. The role may also include some basic synthetic manipulations (e.g., for isotopic enrichment) and the application of periodic planewave DFT calculations to help assign and interpret complex NMR spectra. The role holder will collaborate closely with another researcher with expertise in the synthesis of inorganic and porous solids.

 

The successful candidate should have a PhD in chemistry or related subject, ideally with significant experience of solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

 

Further information can be obtained informally by contacting Professor Sharon Ashbrook (sema@st-andrews.ac.uk) or Professor Russell Morris (rem1@st-andrews.ac.uk)

 

Applications are particularly welcome from people from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are under-represented in research posts at the University.    

 

Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the St Andrews experience.  We strive to create a fair and inclusive culture demonstrated through our commitment to diversity awards (Athena Swan, Carer Positive, LGBT Charter, Race Charters and Stonewall). We celebrate diversity by promoting profiles of BAME, LGBTIQ+ staff and supporting networks including the Staff BAME Network; Staff with Disabilities Network; Staff LGBTIQ+ Network; and the Staff Parents & Carers Network.  Full details available online: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/hr/edi/  

 

Closing Date: 29 August 2022
