Lett. 2019, 21, 6668 The role Tertiary and fully substituted carbon atoms, including those possessing one heteroatom such as an oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom, are widespread amongst pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and biologically relevant natural products. Furthermore, their abundance continues to grow as increasing percentages of sp3-hybridised centers are designed into drug molecules – to improve physical and pharmacokinetic properties – across the biomedical industry. Accordingly, the development of new mechanistic paradigms and powerful synthetic methods for their construction through new carbon-carbon bond forming reactions is both important and timely from academic and industrial perspectives. This project will explore a new and general approach, mediated by visible light, for the cross-coupling of alcohols to a range of coupling partners …

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Organic Chemistry
based near: Chemistry Research Laboratory
comment: **About the role** Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Organic Chemistry, to work under the supervision of Professor Darren Dixon for a period of up to 36 months. The project will involve exploring a new visible light mediated approach for the cross coupling of alcohols to a range of coupling partners for general carbon-carbon bond formation. The successful candidate’s work will consist of reaction discovery, methodology development and target synthesis and will require a strong element of creativity and imagination for all aspects of the project. The project is funded by Leverhulme Trust. _Find out more about the Dixon research and group at:_ dixon group **About you** Applicants must hold a PhD in Organic Chemistry or a relevant subject area, ( **or be close to completion** ) prior to taking up the appointment. The research requires experience in synthetic organic chemistry, on a large and small scale and over a breadth of experimental technique and methods. 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. You will adapt existing and develop new scientific techniques and experimental protocols. The post will be based in the Department of Chemistry, Chemistry Research Laboratory, 12 Mansfield Road, Oxford, OX1 3TA and is available from 1 April 2025. **Application Process** 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. In your supporting statement **( <5 pages)**, please explain how you meet each of the selection criteria found in the job description. **Certificates, references and research papers should not be provided at this stage.** The closing date for applications is 12.00 midday, Wednesday 15 January 2025, UK time.
