Career Development Fellowships

2 weeks ago


Durham, United Kingdom Durham University Full time

The Department of Chemistry at Durham University seeks to appoint a talented individual to the fixed term Career Development Fellowship. We welcome applications from those with research and teaching interests in the broad field of Chemistry, either organic, inorganic or physical.

This post offers an exciting opportunity to develop internationally excellent research/scholarship and teaching while providing unrivalled, tailored support for your career progression at an exciting and progressive institution.

Given the developmental nature of this role it is not anticipated that the post will be extended beyond the initial fixed term. Following the end of the term, the role-holder will be in a strong position to apply for relevant permanent academic roles, should they arise, at Durham or elsewhere.

Successful applicants are normally expected to be within 8 years of completing their PhD, although career breaks for parental leave and/or health reasons will be considered. This is because the roles are aimed at early career academics who would benefit from a structured development programme and provision of both formal and ‘on the job’ training. The posts are also open to those who are returning to academia after a career in another sector.

Successful applicants will ideally be in post by early October 2024 for the start of the academic year.

Essential Criteria

  • Qualifications - a good first degree in a related subject and normally within eight years of completing a PhD [Chemistry] or close to submitting a PhD.
  • The ability to foster a respectful working and learning environment and a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
  • Demonstrate the potential to produce high quality outputs that are recognised as internationally excellent or world class or that have the potential to be.
  • Experience, skills and/or achievements that demonstrate the potential to deliver high quality, effective and engaging teaching and assessments.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to engage with a range of students and colleagues across a variety of forums.
  • Experience, skills and/or achievements that demonstrate experience of or the potential to participate in the collegial/administrative activities or an academic Department, Faculty or University.

£37,999 to £45,163 per annum
