Research Associate in Organic Chemistry (Collins Group)

University of Bristol - Faculty of Science - Organic and Biological Chemistry

Location: Bristol
Salary: £37,099 to £41,732 per annum
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Permanent
Placed On: 13th September 2023
Closes: 4th October 2023
Job Ref: ACAD107146

The role

This project explores the use of photochemistry and transition metal catalysis to control the conformation of molecules with the aim of developing a new generation of artificial molecular machine. Once control over molecular conformation has been established, studies will explore using these platforms to develop functional molecular systems, which display behaviours from the transport of molecular cargo to controlled molecular-level motion.

 What will you be doing?

The project will be undertaken in the Collins Group (www.collinsresearch.org) in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol. In this role, you will design and execute multi-step syntheses towards key small molecule targets and study their behaviour under photoirradiation and transition metal catalysis using a range of spectroscopic techniques. You will need to be enthusiastic about learning new techniques required for the realization of the project aims and engage with the broader interests of the group.

You should apply if

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic researcher, with excellent organizational and communication skills. The successful candidate will hold (or be working towards) a PhD in organic chemistry. While previous experience within in the field of artificial molecular machines is not required, experience in modern synthetic chemistry, including the design and execution of multi-step syntheses, is essential. Experience in photochemistry or transition metal catalysis is also desirable but not essential.
