Research Fellow in Physical Organic Chemistry


University of Leeds requires a PhD in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering, and an excellent post-doctoral research track record (within academia and/or industry), you will be required to develop an internationally recognised research portfolio at the interface between chemistry and chemical process engineering within your field. Exemplar areas of research expertise of potential interest to the Institute of Process Research and Development (iPRD) include physical organic chemistry, flow chemistry, green process technology, the study of new/complex chemical or physical phenomena. Applications from leading candidates in other related areas are also welcome.

You will work collaboratively with scientists across the disciplines within iPRD, the School of Chemistry and the School of Process Environment and Materials Engineering (SPEME) and your work will make a significant contribution to iPRD�s performance, stature and profile.
The post is funded by the University of Leeds Transformation Fund. Your academic development will be supported by a structured mentoring and academic development programme delivered by senior academic staff in both the the School of Chemistry and SPEME. The post is available for a period of five years with the expectation of progressing to an established academic post subject to meeting probationary targets.
