Postdoctoral Researcher in the Synthesis of New Inorganic Materials - Grade 7
University of Liverpool · Liverpool, England, UK
About the role
Hours of work: Full-time Tenure: Fixed term for 36 months We are seeking an exceptional and highly motivated researcher with expertise in exploratory synthesis to join a multidisciplinary programme focused on the discovery of crystalline inorganic materials that have fundamentally new structures. The successful candidate will join the ERC Advanced Grant project, MaterED (Materials Discovery: from Exploration towards Design), led by Professor Matt Rosseinsky OBE FRS, who is a world leading chemist in the discovery of functional inorganic materials. The project integrates experimental synthesis, advanced characterisation, and computational modelling to enable structure-driven materials discovery, targeting systems with unconventional atomic arrangements and emergent properties, and is inspired by the recent discovery of a new family of superionic lithium ion conductor (*Science*, **2024**, *383*, 739). You will work within a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary environment that brings together expertise in chemistry, physics, and computer science. Success in this role requires the ability to engage effectively with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and career stage. If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31. Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
