Job vacancy (closed)

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Materials Chemistry

Department

The Division of Chemistry and Environmental Science has stable established numbers of undergraduate students studying across its network of courses, alongside increasing income from academic enterprise and research activities.

As part of a recent refurbishment programme, the Division has access to ‘state of the art’ facilities which include a wide range of chemical equipment including a Mass Spectrometry Service Laboratory (LCMS), BET Surface Analysis Equipment, NMR Service Laboratory (400 MHz), Microscopy Service Laboratory (Field Emission-SEM; SEM based micro-Raman, Optical micro-Raman, STM and Wave Dispersive and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis), and equipment to support CVD surface engineering, all of which are available to support your research or enterprise activities.

Role                 

The post holder will undertake academic enterprise or research that enhances or complements existing areas alongside teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

If you do not have existing teaching experience or qualifications in an academic environment you will be expected to undertake appropriate training to support you during your initial period of employment.

Ideal Candidate

You should possess a PhD, in Chemistry or an appropriate subject area.

Applicants with expertise in analytical organic chemistry are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants who can demonstrate evidence of attracting future research funding or are willing to take a lead in enterprise activities are particularly welcome. You should align research with Engineering Materials Research Group.

Exemplar research areas would include development of advanced materials such as 2D structures or nano-materials for applications such as sensor design, or fuel cell technology; or the development of surface coating techniques such as Chemical Vapour Deposition or Plasma modification of glass and polymer surfaces.
