We are seeking to appoint a motivated scientist with wide experience of solid-state materials as a postdoctoral research associate to investigate charge doping of metal-organic frameworks, working within the research group of Dr Matthew Cliffe at the School of Chemistry University of Nottingham (https://cliffe.nottingham.ac.uk). This position is part of the DISCO-MOF UKRI Frontier Grant (ERC Guarantee) project.
The post holder is expected to synthesise non-stoichiometric radical metal-organic frameworks and characterise their structures and magnetic properties using bulk property and scattering methods.
A PhD (or close to completion) in Chemistry or related field with demonstrated excellence in the experimental study of inorganic solid-state materials is essential.
We welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate that they will benefit from and contribute to the learning, research and social environment of the University. We value diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity and flexible working patterns. Applications are welcome from candidates who have non-traditional academic backgrounds.
As part of your application, please submit a CV, publication list and cover letter.
This is a full-time (36.25), fixed-term post for 36 months.
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.
