The School of Chemistry have two postdoctoral researcher positions in synthetic organic chemistry, in the group of Professor Andy Cammidge. The project, funded by EPSRC, is ambitious and will target new chemistries to synthesise novel extended aromatic structures that can be considered as synthetic fragments of graphene and curved analogues.

The research will focus on developing novel iterative and cascade sequences using cross-coupling as key steps. Working with an extended team of postgraduate researchers, you will develop new catalytic protocols for efficient aryl-aryl coupling and ring closure in challenging substrates, investigate strategies for iteration in solution and on solid support, design host templates to control multiple couplings to give macrocyclic precursors, and work with collaborators and their groups for characterisation (Prof Khimyak, solid state NMR, Prof Meech, photophysics).

The two appointments will be considered at Research Associate, Senior Research Associate or Research Fellow grades dependent on skills and experience. Within your personal statement please specify the grade of role you would like to be considered for.
