postdoc at Cambridge

Dear Colleagues,

Postdoctoral Research Associate: Sustainable Inorganic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge (Reference: MA12712).

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate to work in solar fuel research in the Reisner group in the newly established Christian Doppler Laboratory for Sustainable SynGas Chemistry. The main research task is to prepare novel bio-inspired catalysts for electro- and photo-catalytic H2 evolution and CO2 to fuel conversion.

The successful candidate will have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in chemistry and have a strong background in synthetic molecular inorganic chemistry.  Experience in preparing and handling of air/moisture sensitive compounds is essential; experience in advanced spectroscopic techniques, electro- and photochemistry will be an advantage.  The candidate should be ready to think outside her/his formal field of training to fit into a creative and dynamic research environment.  A strong record of research productivity, as reflected in a substantial publication record in journals of high impact, will be required, as well as excellent communication and management skills. The successful candidate will also assist PhD students and oversee the research activity of the Christian Doppler Laboratory on a daily basis.

The post is available from April 2012.  Applications should include a CV, publications list, contact details for three professional referees, and a completed form CHRIS/6 Parts I and III (downloadable from www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6/), and should be sent to Dr Erwin Reisner, Department of Chemistry, Lensfield Road, Cambridge CB2 1EW  (email: reisner@ch.cam.ac.uk).

Salary: £27,428 - £35,788 pa
