Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Membrane Supramolecular Chemistry to work under the supervision of Professor Matthew Langton in the Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, for a period of up to 2 years. The project involves the synthesis of synthetic supramolecular transport systems for ions and other polar molecules, that are based on stimuli-responsive molecular machines. The project is funded by the European Research Council.
Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry or a related subject area, (or be close to completion) prior to taking up the appointment. The research requires experience in synthetic supramolecular chemistry and multi-step organic synthesis. Expertise in membrane supramolecular chemistry and related techniques is desirable.
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.
