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
