Could you please bring the following positions to the attention of anybody
who might be interested and suitable.
Thanks
Five postdoctoral research scientists are required to work on a
multidisciplinary EPSRC-funded project to investigate the feasibility of
formic acid as a basis for hydrogen storage and CO2 sequestration.This one
year feasibility study will lead to the submission of a joint application
for major funding in order to further develop the project.The success of
the project will depend on close integration of five inter-related
programmes based at the Universities of Bath, Leeds, Oxford, Reading and
Strathclyde. It is envisaged that there will be significant interaction
between the groups during the course of the project providing the
opportunity for the scientists appointed to acquire a diverse range of
skills.
All positions are available at the Research Grade IA salary (£19,460 -
£29,128 p.a.) and are available for 1 year in the first instance
Closing date for all posts 22 July 2005
Postdoctoral Research Scientist (University of Bath)
This post will be based in Professor Matthew Davidson's group and will be
concerned with investigating the generation of polymers using formic acid
as a building block. Experience in organometallic or inorganic synthesis
and catalysis would be an advantage.

Postdoctoral Research Scientist (University of Leeds)
This post will be based in Dr Chris Rayner's group, and will be concerned
with the establishing the opportunities and challenges in effecting
efficient conversion of carbon dioxide into formic acid and other
commodity chemicals, including novel polymer precursors. A knowledge of
synthetic organic chemistry, high pressure chemistry and synthetic
photochemistry would be an advantage.
The University is introducing a new reward framework which will facilitate
the recruitment, retention and motivation of world class staff

Postdoctoral Research Scientist (University of Oxford)
This post will be with Dr Ben Davis, based in the new Chemistry Research
Laboratory (www.chem.ox.ac.uk) and will explore novel biocatalysis and use
of enzymes in the utilization and synthesis of formic acid.We are seeking
candidates with expertise in molecular biology, biocatalysis and protein
chemistry. Candidates will have a PhD in Chemistry, Biochemistry or
Chemical Biology, or have submitted a thesis prior to taking up the
appointment, and must have gained relevant scientific experience during
their research career.
