We are seeking 2 postdoctoral research associates with expertise in the synthesis and characterisation of new inorganic materials, particularly applicants with experience in non-oxide synthesis and air sensitive techniques.
You will join the E.P.S.R.C. Programme Grant ''Digital Navigation of Chemical Space for Function'' as part of a multidisciplinary team that integrates the targeting of new materials for specific properties (e.g., for batteries), discovering entirely uncharted chemistry (e.g., multiple anion compounds), and the development of new methods that accelerate the discovery of materials (e.g., combining structure prediction and machine learning). For example, we work closely with experts in computer science as part of the Leverhulme Research Centre for Functional Materials Design, and the environment that this creates is central to all of the group's work. You must therefore be able to interact effectively with colleagues with complementary skills (e.g. structure prediction or measurement physics specialists).
You should have a PhD in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science.
