Registration is now open for UKCC 2027! The 13th UK Catalysis Conference 2027 will be held from the 6 - 8 January 2027 and promises another exceptional scientific programme spanning all areas of catalysis — including heterogeneous, homogeneous, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and biocatalysis. It includes a dedicated ECR session. More info ➡️ https://www.ukcatalysisconference.co.uk

09/10/2026

Get involved with the UK Catalysis Hub! We invite expressions of interest from highly motivated and collaborative early career researchers to join its ECR Forum.

The UK Catalysis Hub delivers a world-leading, comprehensive and coordinated programme of catalytic science in the UK, driving innovation and supporting the UK’s transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. Embedding and supporting ECRs within the UK catalysis community is a central priority for the Hub.

We welcome applications from ECRs across the UK working in catalysis or related areas, including chemistry, chemical engineering, biology, physics, and data science. Applicants from both fundamental and applied/industrial research backgrounds are all encouraged to apply.

🗓️ Deadline: 30 October 2026

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.
