About the role
Fluorinated molecules have many applications across scientific fields due to the properties of the carbon-fluorine bond. This project employs experimental and computational methods to study highly reactive fluorinated organic molecules. The postholder will model structures, predict NMR spectra, analyze reaction pathways, and collaborate with synthetic chemists to understand reactivity. The position is funded by the Leverhulme Trust for up to 17 months, based in the Department of Chemistry at University College London, working with the groups of Tom Sheppard and Mike Porter.
About you
The ideal candidate will hold or be close to completing a PhD in organic or computational chemistry, with experience in electronic structure calculations, a strong publication record, and proficiency in computational chemistry software. Effective communication skills in English and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team are essential.
What we offer
Benefits include 41 days holiday, a scheme to purchase additional leave, a pension scheme, cycle and season ticket loans, relocation support, on-site nursery and gym, enhanced parental leave, employee support services, and discounted medical insurance.
