Postdoctoral Research Associate in Organic Chemistry / Catalysis

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Organic chemistry/catalysis to work under the supervision of Professor Tim Donohoe and Professor Michael Neidig for a period of up to 3 years. The project involves an investigation of hydrogen borrowing catalysis and aims to provide a detailed mechanistic understanding of these C-C bond forming reactions so they can become more synthetically useful. It is funded by the Leverhulme Trust.

Applicants must hold a PhD in Organic Chemistry, catalysis or a related area (or be close to completion) prior to taking up the appointment. The research requires experience in the application of catalysis in organic chemistry. You will have expertise in the design and execution of synthetic schemes. You will be expected to manage your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines.
