We are seeking a Research Associate/Fellow to support surface chemical analysis research within the School of Pharmacy as well as from other departments at the University of Nottingham. The role will form part of the Nottingham SIMS Facility team and will primarily involve the operation of a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (ToF-SIMS).  Working closely with Dr. David Scurr and Dr. Anna Kotowska, the role is an opportunity to undertake research employing state-of-the-art secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) instrumentation and data analytics and will also include an opportunity to work with the 3D OrbiSIMS instrument. 

The aim of the post is to facilitate SIMS instrument access, operations and training for users (typically PhD students and post-doctoral researchers), consulting on aspects covering experimental design, data acquisition / analysis and reporting. These interactions generate multidisciplinary collaborative high impact research opportunities within the School of Pharmacy as well as within other schools including Physics, Life Sciences, Medicine and Chemistry. As well as supporting research at The University of Nottingham, the role holder will have the opportunity to develop their own areas of independent research and build national and international collaborative research projects and networks.  

Candidates should have, or be close to completion of a PhD in materials science, physics, chemistry, pharmacy (or equivalent) or in the area of chemical imaging mass spectrometry. Experience of mass spectrometry and associated data analysis is essential. Experience of ToF-SIMS, 3D OrbiSIMS, or Orbital trapping mass spectrometry would be beneficial. The candidate will be required to support research activities at The University of Nottingham through the day-to-day management of the Nottingham SIMS Facility. Candidates must have excellent communication skills and an aptitude for critical thinking and a flexible approach to collaborative research.

This full-time post (36.25 hours per week) will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 6 months. Job share arrangements may be considered.

Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.
