Research Fellow in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis (MAPCH1100)

Do you have experience working in organometallic chemistry and catalysis? Are you passionate about developing sustainable processes, with an interest in continuous flow systems?

Outstanding individuals with a background in the relevant fields are invited to apply for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position on the EPSRC funded project in Organometallic Catalysis using High-Throughput Flow Reactor Technology. You will work within both the School of Chemistry and the School of Chemical Engineering and be part of a multidisciplinary team working on the discovery and optimisation of metal catalysts using a unique flow reactor platform which is currently under development in Leeds. You will work alongside a Postdoctoral Research Assistant with expertise in process chemistry and flow reactor technology. The project will deliver new catalytic processes for industrially-relevant transformations, with a focus on the development of more sustainable systems. 

With a PhD (or have submitted your thesis prior to taking up the appointment) in chemistry or a closely related field and experience in organometallic chemistry and catalysis, you will work within the groups of Dr Charlotte Willans (Chemistry), Dr Richard Bourne (Chemistry/Engineering), Dr Bao Nguyen (Chemistry/Engineering) and Professor Nik Kapur (Engineering). You will also work closely with industrial partners on the project, disseminating work as appropriate and ensuring that we are working towards industrially-relevant goals.
