About the role

  • Perform a laboratory and computer based programme of research into the speciation and stability of organoboron species in biological relevant media.
  • Interact extensively with both computational and synthetic collaborators to enable the productive development of the EPSRC "Boron: Beyond the Reagent" Programme Grant.
  • Contribute intellectually to the life of the GCLJ research group, effectively manage laboratory resources and equipment, supervise less experienced researchers and contribute to the dissemination and publication of the research, both within and outwith the project.

Requirements

  • Demonstrable expertise in solution-phase reaction monitoring (in situ and ex situ) by multiple spectroscopic techniques and application of stopped-flow methods.
  • Conduction and analysis of UV-Vis and NMR titration isotherms
  • High field NMR analysis and the editing and application of pulse sequences
  • Mathematical modelling of experimental and predicted temporal concentrations for complex chemical processes, using both numerical methods and via derivation of steady-state rate equations
  • Hands on experience in the analysis of the kinetics of interconversion of organoboronic acids, organoboronic esters, and boroxines.

Benefits

  • A competitive salary
  • An exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work.
  • To be part of a diverse and vibrant international community
  • Comprehensive Staff Benefits, such as a generous holiday entitlement, competitive pension schemes, staff discounts, and family-friendly initiatives. Check out the full list on our staff benefits page and use our reward calculator to discover the total value of your pay and benefits
