Job Offer: Research Fellow, Chemistry:Job description:Job location: Belfast Ref: 22/110087 Duration: Available until 30/09/2024 Hours: Full-time income: £35,333 - £42,155 per annum Applications are invited for a 2-year Research Fellow to work in the group of Dr Paul Dingwall (www.dingwall-lab.co.uk) at Queen's University Belfast. The project involves an in-depth mechanistic study of hypervalent iodine mediated oxidation reactions using a range of highly complementary experimental and computational techniques. A physical organic first approach will involve detailed in situ kinetic and spectroscopic studies. The electrochemical behaviour of the reactions will be investigated in collaboration with the Kavanagh lab (Queen's University Belfast). Computational investigation of the reaction mechanism will be performed with state-of-the-art density functional theory techniques as well as a modern, data driven, physical organic approach to simultaneously probe reaction mechanism and optimise reaction performance. We are seeking for a highly motivated individual who is able to bring skills in at least one of these areas, and who is willing to lgain and become an expert in the others. There may be some flexibility in starting date for an exceptional candidate. This position is funded by the Leverhulme Trust and is in collaboration with Professor Thomas Wirth (Cardiff University). An additional position on this project in the Wirth Lab will be available early in 2023. The prosperous candidate must have, and your application should clearly demonstrate you have: » Have a degree in Chemistry or a related discipline (minimum standard 2:1) » Have, or be about to obtain, a PhD in Chemistry or a related discipline. » At least 3 years significant research practice of physical organic or synthetic organic chemistry » A track record of mechanistic analysis in homogeneous catalysis or organic chemistry. » capability to apply core analytical techniques (1D/2D NMR, MS, IR, HPLC) Please note the above are not an exhaustive list. Fixed term contract posts are available for the stated period in the first instance but in particular circumstances may be renewed or made permanent subject to availcapability of funding.
