Research Fellow in Functional Materials and Design Grade 7/8 Centre for Functional Materials Design, University of Liverpool.
Research Area: Chemistry
Reference No.: 008221
Fellowship: £32,958 – £49,772 pa
Deadline: 10-Oct-2017 23:30
A Research Fellow/Theme Leader position is available within the Centre for Functional Materials Design funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
Themes: The post will act as a theme leader in the area of experimental organic materials chemistry.
You will pro-actively progress this research theme, using your own initiative and knowledge and through discussion with the Centre Director, Professor Cooper, and the broader community of researchers in the Centre. You will be expected to perform research at internationally leading level and ensure that other researchers within the theme (particularly PhD students) are working in an optimal way and communicating across boundaries. This is not a standard research project, but rather a 10-year research centre with the ambitious aim of fundamentally transforming our capability to discover new functional materials.
Requirements / Qualifications:
- This post will suit an ambitious scientist motivated to produce step-change advances in new organic materials.
- PhD in Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science
- A commitment to developing collaborative research within or across the academic networks, external partners and stakeholder groups, particularly at the interface of experiment and computation.
Benefits:
- The level of research performed and the experience offered in engaging with senior UK and international partners will make these posts highly suitable for a transition to an independent academic career.
- It is important to note that these roles have a broad scope and that many skills sets could be relevant.
- Your application should therefore set out how your skills, experience and capabilities will contribute to the success of the centre at all levels.
Duration: The post is available for 5 years.
