Department Of Chemistry The mission of Oxford Chemistry is to advance the global understanding of chemistry and to use that knowledge to address major challenges for society. Oxford Chemistry maintains world-class strengths in fundamental research, including the training of outstanding young scientists, whilst being an outward-looking department engaging with other disciplines, industry, public services, government and the general public. We are a large department within the University’s Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division with over 70 research groups and 900 researchers Glasstone Fellowship Chemistry_Queen's_job desc.docx 3 including 400 graduate research students. Our MChem degree takes 180 students a year and features the distinctive tutorials of Oxford, an innovative three-year programme of practical teaching within our state-of-the-art teaching laboratory, and a 4th year focused on research based within one of our research groups. Research in Oxford Chemistry focuses on fundamental science aimed at making significant and sustained long-term impact. We provide an environment that enables research by hiring, developing, and supporting talented researchers, many recognised as international leaders, across the spectrum of the chemical sciences. Our students and staff work in excellent research facilities to deliver field-leading research that crosses traditional boundaries and engages strongly with other disciplines, both within Oxford and across a range of external sectors. The impact of our research in the wider economy and society is manifest in our many industrial and clinical collaborations and successful start-ups. Our eight research themes and business engagements showcase the breadth and depth of our research across the chemical sciences. We are committed to providing an inclusive and supportive work and study environment for all our staff and students based on core values of respect, equality and collaboration. We have held an Athena SWAN silver award since 2015 reflecting our commitment to improving gender equality within our discipline. Oxford Chemistry is accommodated within five buildings in the University’s science area, including a modern RIBA award-winning dedicated research facility and a state-of-the-art practical teaching laboratory. Researchers are supported by a research infrastructure within Chemistry that includes NMR, Mass Spectrometry, Crystallography, Surface Analysis, Inorganic Materials Characterisation, Advanced Electron Spin Resonance and high-performance computing facilities as well as access to facilities across the wider University and at national research facilities including the Rosalind Franklin Institute and Diamond Light Source.

Glasstone Fellowship Chemistry_Queen's_job desc.docx 9 VIOLETTE AND SAMUEL GLASSTONE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS IN SCIENCE Statement of the interests of Violette and Samuel Glasstone These research fellowships are awarded in memory of Professor Glasstone and his wife Violette, and are made possible through a most generous benefaction to the University by Professor Glasstone. Professor Samuel Glasstone was born in London in 1897 and attended the University of London as Neil Arnot Exhibitioner and Scholar, from where he was awarded the degrees of B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D., and D.Sc. Although he published extensively on his research in physical chemistry, he was perhaps best known for his considerable output of textbooks, renowned for their clear presentation of complex scientific concepts. Amongst these were Recent Advances in Physical Chemistry (1931), Recent Advances in General Chemistry (1936), and Textbook of Physical Chemistry (1940), the last book he published before emigrating to America, where he eventually became a US citizen. He went on to write widely in the field of atomic science, including The Effects of Atomic Warfare (1950), the first de-classifiable book on the subject, commissioned by the US Atomic Energy Commission. Samuel Glasstone died in 1986. His first wife, Violette Frederica Glasstone (nee Collingwood) was a Goldsmith’s Company Scholar at St Hilda’s College where she read Botany. She took her BA in October 1919 and her MA in 1939, going on to be a demonstrator at the School of Botany, researching on plant physiology. Many of Professor Glasstone’s books were dedicated to her and she collaborated in producing a number of these, including his first book Chemistry in Daily Life (1929), and The Food You Eat (1943). She died in 1960. Glasstone Fellowship Chemistry_Queen's_job desc.docx 10 """^^ . "text/n3" . _:N56d78217dc05424cac4c73afaed4b4fe . . . . "application/xhtml+xml" . "postal code"@en .

Potential applicants wishing to discuss research proposals or the availability of facilities should contact the relevant scientists in the appropriate research theme.

 

Applicants must hold a PhD/DPhil in Chemistry or related subject, which must have been awarded by the closing date for applications to the Glasstone Fellowship. 

 

Only online applications received before midday on 3rd March 2025 can be considered.  You will be required to upload 3 documents in support of your application:


  1. A completed cover letter indicating how you meet the Essential Selection Criteria.

  2. A CV with publications list ensuring that it contains any brief description needed to explain your research experience.

  3. A research proposal setting out what you aim to achieve during the fellowship: this must not exceed two sides of A4 in length (including any bibliography), and it should start with a short summary written for a non-specialist scientific reader.


 

As part of the application form, you will also need to provide details of three referees.  At least one of your referees should be from your current or most recent employing institution.

 

The Department holds an Athena Swan Silver award, highlighting its commitment to promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology.
