QUILL Postdoctoral Research Fellows

We are currently seeking applications for multiple postdoctoral positions within the QUILL Research Centre, to work on a large research programme with an industrial partner. We are looking for PhD-level chemists and/or chemical engineers, with expertise in at least one of the following areas: reactive extractions, gas or liquid separations, synthesis of ionic liquids/covalent organic frameworks/main group coordination chemistry, or synthesis/formulations of soft materials (lubricants, phase-change materials).

Candidates are expected to be active members of an international research group, contributing to planning and delivery of project objectives, and interacting with industrial partners. Ideally, they will have an early track record of successful supervision of research students, reflected in good quality publications.

We welcome the applications from both new PhD graduates and experienced researchers. Please note, while we will look to recruit as soon as possible, all appointees will be expected to work remotely on literature review and due diligence, until laboratories within the QUB estate become accessible (subject to UK government/QUB guidelines in relation to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic).

This is a full-time fixed term contract for three years.

The successful candidate must:

• Have or be about to obtain a relevant PhD in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering.
• Have a proven relevant research experience in at least one of the following: reactive extractions, gas or liquid separations, synthesis of ionic liquids/covalent organic frameworks/main group coordination chemistry, or synthesis/formulations of soft materials (lubricants, phase-change materials)
