Work with us. New position for Postdoctoral Research Associate in Polymerization and Depolymerization Catalysis at Oxford in Prof. Charlotte William's group. Research will focus on the discovery and development of homogeneous polymerization and depolymerization catalysts. Polymerization catalysis will be investigated using epoxides, carbon dioxide, cyclic anhydrides and cyclic esters/carbonates. The synthesis of polymerization catalysts will require expertise in inorganic and organometallic chemistry since heterometallic complexes are targeted. Depolymerization kinetics will be investigated using a range of methods, including thermal gravimetric analysis, spectroscopy and polymer characterization techniques. The objective is to understand the key parameters influencing catalytic rates so as to design more effective polymerization and depolymerization catalysts.

Work with us - Research Fellow in Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopy at UCL based in Harwell, Oxfordshire. This experimental project will be carried out independently but also as part of a team of researchers from UCL and the CLF based in the Research Complex at Harwell, and through collaborations within the UK Catalysis Hub consortium. The postholder will be expected to supervise PhD and Masters students, assisting experimentally with their research projects, where necessary, and reading drafts of reports and papers, as well as managing lab safety. The project activities are:
1. Probing fundamental adsorbate-zeolite structure interactions with 2D-IR and Kerr-gated Raman spectroscopy
2. Development of transient analysis methods for differentiating between active and spectator species
Finally, the role includes supporting the Hub-CLF Raman Centre of Excellence's advanced instrument cluster.
This post is available for 2 years in the first instance with a possibility of extending for up to a further 3 years. Deadline 20 April ➡️ tinyurl.com/yzsc8fpu
