Academic Development Programme - new Assistant Professors will undertake a 5-year development programme, at the end of which they are expected to be promoted to Associate Professor. The programme consists of a variety of development opportunities and the time to reflect and develop.
The School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham is a vibrant and thriving academic community, with over 150 academic and research staff, 20 professional services staff and over 600 students. We provide an inclusive and supportive environment where we strive to support every member of staff in realising their career potential. With a strong focus on our four Research Themes of Energy, Sustainability, Environment and Health, and a number of interdisciplinary Interest Groups serving as testbeds to explore new and emerging areas of interest, we are a dynamic place to work. We have ambitious plans to expand our research activity and are in an exciting period of growth: major investment from the University has delivered a state-of-the-art molecular sciences research building, and new multi-million pound high-performance computing facilities, which will ensure UK-leading compute capability. These investments build on a major recent expansion of our academic staff and investment in our teaching and learning provision, with our Collaborative Teaching Laboratory, which opened September 2018, already revolutionising how we teach undergraduate practical chemistry.
We are seeking outstanding candidates and invite applications for an Assistant Professor position in Computational Chemistry for Synthesis and Materials, potentially co-aligning with areas of existing or emerging strengths in the School of Chemistry and other schools in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Demonstrated experience in theoretical or computational aspects of synthesis for sustainability, and/or experience in ML/AI/Digital Chemistry, is particularly valuable. The candidate is expected to act as a member of the School of Chemistry associated with the growing Research Theme of Computational Chemistry. The candidate will be expected to collaborate with the Research Themes of Synthesis, Materials and the emergent Centre for Research, Development and Applications in Mechanochemistry.
