Join to apply for the Research Fellow in Synthetic Organic Chemistry role at Cyber Security Academy Southampton

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate to work in the group of Dr Gregory Perry for a period of up to 3 years. The position will be based at the University of Southampton, one of the UK’s top research-intensive universities. Chemistry at Southampton has a national and international reputation for excellence with world-leading facilities.

Applicants must hold a PhD in synthetic chemistry (or be close to completion) or have equivalent professional qualifications and experience. Expertise in organic synthesis are required and experience in the preparation and manipulation of sensitive organometallics/organometallic complexes are favourable. Skills in any of the following areas will prove beneficial: catalysis, photo-, electro- and/or mechanochemical synthesis, mechanistic studies. You are expected to have an excellent work ethic and an enthusiasm to achieve the project aims. You will also be involved in the general running and maintenance of the laboratory.

The project will involve expanding our work on Dual-Function Reagents (see Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2023, 62, e202218371). You will join a creative group focused on designing new reagents and methods in an exciting area in organic synthesis. The project will expand your synthetic skills and provide you with expertise in organometallic chemistry and isotope labelling. Opportunities to explore other areas, such as catalysis, photo-, electro- and mechanochemistry, are also available. You will be able to present you research results at national and international conferences, and you will improve your leadership skills by assisting Dr Perry in the management of the research group. If desired, opportunities to involve yourself in teaching at the University of Southampton are also available, though this is not a requirement. As our research group grows, we hope you will help us maintain the friendly and supportive work environment that we have established.

• Applications will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon completion of PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.
