Postdoctoral Research Associate in Structural Materials Chemistry

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p></p><div><strong>About the role</strong></div><br> <div>Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Structural Materials Chemistry to work under the supervision of Professor Andrew Goodwin for a period of up to 30 months.&#160; The project aims to develop, understand, and apply functional materials whose structures are based on Truchet-tile architectures. This particular research focuses on the synthesis and crystallographic characterisation of Truchet-tile framework materials.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>Find out more about the research in the Goodwin group <a rel="nofollow" href="https://goodwingroupox.uk/">here</a></div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div><strong>About you</strong></div><br> <div>Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry or a related area (or be close to completion) prior to taking up the appointment.&#160; Have expertise in the synthesis and characterisation of framework materials, and particularly exposure to the use of crystallographic methods for determining the structures of complex systems with correlated disorder.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>You will be expected to manage your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>The post will be based in the Department of Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, South Parks Road, OX1 3QR and is available from October 2024.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div><strong>Application Process</strong></div><br> <div>Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your application.&#160; In your supporting statement <strong>(no more than 2 pages)</strong>, please explain how you meet each of the selection criteria found in the job description.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div><strong>Certificates, references and research papers should not be provided at this stage.</strong></div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>The closing date for applications is 12.00 midday, Friday, 16 August 2024, UK time. Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>The University of Oxford and The Department of Chemistry are Silver Athena SWAN holders.&#160; Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and ethnic minority candidates, who are under-represented in Chemistry research posts in Oxford.</div> </div>
