Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

We are now looking for a highly professional, enthusiastic, and committed individual to join our team as a Senior Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry on a full-time, permanent basis. In this role, you will contribute to the teaching and administration of the School’s portfolio of foundation, undergraduate and post-graduate programmes. It is expected that you will complement existing research/teaching activities within the School and as part of the role you will be encouraged to develop your own research interests. To accomplish this, you should have proven research and/or teaching experience in the field of analytical chemistry. You will also have a PhD in analytical chemistry (or a closely related discipline) with a particular focus on the structure elucidation of small molecules typically used in the pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic sectors.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.
