Five new full time academic appointments are to be made in the School of Chemical Sciences at the 
University of East Anglia, Norwich, England.  One of the appointments (number 4 in the list below) is 
likely to be in the area of Laser chemistry, with particular reference to applications in environmental 
science.  Informal enquiries concerning this post can be made to the author ([log in to unmask]) or 
Prof. David Andrews ([log in to unmask] 01603 592005)

Details of the advertisement follow.  It is hoped to conduct interviews between the 25 Jan and 5th Feb.

FURTHER PARTICULARS


The University has recently announced a substantial investment in the
School of Chemical Sciences, enabling it to strengthen core chemistry and
to increase its interdisciplinary links with the Schools of Biological and
Environmental Sciences, and also with the major science Institutes of the
Norwich Research Park.

Accordingly, the School of Chemical Sciences now seeks to build further
research strengths in major areas of chemistry, to build further on its
successful collaboration with the School of Biological Sciences, and to
develop new initiatives with the School of Environmental Sciences.  Five
faculty posts are available as described below. Whilst it is expected that
appointments will be made at lecturer or reader level, depending on the
experience and academic record of the applicant, one of the appointments
may be made at professorial level for an outstanding candidate. In the case
of senior posts, candidates will be expected to provide academic leadership
in research, and to further develop links between the School of Chemical
Sciences and other UEA Science Schools, members of the Norwich Research
Park and national and international research bodies.

Synthetic Organic Chemistry

Researchers with proven expertise in synthetic organic chemistry are
welcome to apply.  This post would be particularly suitable for those with
interests in the synthesis of biomolecular targets such as carbohydrates,
nucleic acids and proteins and the development of new synthetic
methodology, such as combinatorial chemistry.  Applicants seeking to
develop collaboration within the Norwich Research Park, especially with the
School of Biological Sciences and with microbial and plant scientists in
the John Innes Centre, or with food scientists in the Institute of Food
Research, will be of particular interest.

Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry

Synthetic inorganic chemists, particularly those relevant to the
newly-established Wolfson Laboratory for Environmentally Friendly
Catalysis, are invited to apply.  The purpose of this Laboratory is to
develop and study homogeneous catalysts which avoid the use and production
of environmentally harmful substances.  Potential catalytic systems of
current interest include metal-mediated free radical production, biphasic
reactions, biomimetic redox cycling of metal, complexes in aqueous media,
metal oxide and hydroxide nanoparticles and reactions in super-critical
water.

Biological Chemistry

A protein chemist is sought with interests which will complement existing
areas at UEA, such as metalloprotein biology and spectroscopy, and protein
structure determination by NMR and X-ray crystallography. The successful
candidate will further strengthen the already effective links between the
Schools of Biological and Chemical Sciences or be able to exploit the
biological strengths within the Norwich Research Park.  Research interests
in protein structure-function relationships, protein folding,
intermolecular interactions or chemical enzymology are particularly
welcome.

Physical/Environmental Chemistry

A physical chemist is sought with interests in the application of
fundamental theory and/or laboratory techniques relevant to environmental
chemistry.  Preference may be given to candidates whose research will
enhance existing strengths within the School of Chemical Sciences, and help
build collaborative research and teaching programmes with the School of
Environmental Sciences.  Research strengths in the two Schools relevant to
the post include: ultrafast laser spectroscopy, photophysics and
photochemical kinetics; condensed phase dynamics; thermodynamics of
non-ideal solutions.

Environmental Analytical Chemistry

Applications are invited for a post in Environmental Analytical Chemistry
to strengthen research in Analytical Chemistry within the School of
Chemical Sciences and to enhance links with the School of Environmental
Sciences.  The preferred applicant will develop novel measurement
strategies and/or techniques for target analyte species of environmental
relevance either in the hydrosphere or atmosphere. It is intended that the
successful applicant will complement the current research interests of
faculty at the Analytical interface in the Schools of Chemical and
Environmental Sciences and, as appropriate, across the Norwich Research
Park.
