Research Associate in Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry Job reference REQ240655 Date posted 22/07/2024 Application closing date 18/08/2024 Location Loughborough Package Specialist and Supporting Academic grade 6 from £33966 to £44263 per annum. Subject to annual pay award. Job descriptionWe invite applications for a 36-month postdoctoral research associate position in organic synthesis and supramolecular chemistry. This multi-disciplinary EPSRC project, led by Dr. Stephen Butler at Loughborough University, aims to synthesise macrocyclic luminescent probes to detect specific analytes in vapour and liquid.The successful candidate will join a collaborative team with expertise in synthetic organic chemistry, photophysical analysis, polymer chemistry, optical engineering, and data science. The primary objective is to develop a portable luminescent sensing device to identify and locate specific chemicals. This breakthrough technology will enable security and defence organisations to quickly and safely identify the nature and spatial distribution of target chemicals, facilitating faster decision-making and response measures.Building on our recent development of analyte-responsive luminescent lanthanide probes, the project aims to:
The position is ideally suited for an ambitious early career researcher with a strong background in multi-step organic synthesis. You will be proficient in the accurate characterisation of organic molecules and comfortable in the safe handling of reactive species and hazardous materials. Experience in photophysical analyses and supramolecular techniques (e.g. spectroscopic host-guest titrations) is advantageous. The successful candidate will be motivated to advance fundamental supramolecular chemistry research and collaborate with a skilled team to translate chemical probes into real-world sensing applications for environmental, security and defence sectors.This is a full-time 36-month position to commence on or after 7th October 2024.For relevant publications please see: Chem.
