We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic organic chemist for a Postdoctoral Research Associate post within the research group of Dr Mattia Silvi (Silvi research group website) based in the GSK Carbon Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry at the University of Nottingham. This is a highly challenging project in Synthetic Organic Chemistry and requires excellence in contemporary practical skills, demonstrated by your previous publication record. This is a 36-months fixed term post, and is part of a Leverhulme Trust funded research building on previous research from the Silvi research group. The research will focus on the development of novel reactions based on photoredox-radical chemistry. The new radical processes will be applied in target synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients and the late-stage functionalisation of complex molecules.
The successful candidate will carry out the following duties:
Candidates must:
Previous experience in the field of photoredox catalysis and/or radical chemistry and supervision are desirable but not essential.
The post is offered on a full time (36.25 hours per week), fixed term contract for 3 years (36 months). Job share arrangements may be considered.
Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.
