We have an opportunity for an enthusiastic and ambitious chemistry graduate to undertake a PhD that will explore molecule–surface interactions using state-of-the-art theoretical vibrational spectroscopy techniques. As part of our team in the Department of Chemistry, you will also have the opportunity to teach undergraduate physical chemistry students and provide support in laboratory sessions and workshops.
Working closely with some of our more senior colleagues, you will receive all the training, career counseling and mentoring you need so that you are in a position to take on more senior teaching and research roles in the future.
This particular project will combine cutting-edge computer science and computational chemistry in order to look at the foundations of adhesion, building blocks of nanotechnology and important catalysis steps at the molecular scale. Your role in the project is likely to involve everything from developing teaching materials and liaising with departmental research groups, to presenting your findings at national and international forums.
A chemistry graduate with a first or 2:1 degree, you will have a proven background in theoretical/physical chemistry and the ability to communicate sometimes complex information to students and their peers. Presenting your work in a well-structured and coherent manner, you will also be expected to work productively with minimal guidance or as part of a team – often to tight deadlines.
This is a fixed term position of four years.
Note that the application deadline is 3 April 2013
