Research Associate in Supramolecular Photochemistry
Cardiff School of Chemistry
Cardiff University
We seek to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated scientist with proven intellectual and technical abilities to work on a project at the interface of synthetic chemistry and supramolecular photochemistry. The 1-year project is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
The project involves the design and synthesis of organic chromophores with long-lived and energetic excited states, with an emphasis on modulating their photo-induced properties by non-covalent interactions. Exquisite supramolecular control of the weak and dynamic interactions offers great potential to boost photochemical efficiency, minimising the need for lengthy covalent structural modification. It also allows the elucidation of fundamental excited-state dynamics through perturbative analyses. The applicant will take simultaneously the synthetic, spectroscopic, and computational approaches to control and analyse the structure and environment of the light-absorbing chromophores. A deep understanding of the structural and supramolecular parameters will expand the toolbox for solar-energy utilisation.
Applicants must hold a postgraduate degree at the PhD level in synthetic chemistry, photochemistry, or supramolecular chemistry or have relevant industrial experience.
