Demonstrated ability in design, delivery and assessment of inorganic chemistry teaching in a university environment would be an advantage and the successful candidate must be fluent in written and spoken English. Experience in bioinorganic chemistry is desirable but not required.

Role Summary

The successful applicant will have a PhD in a relevant specialist subject area, as well as postdoctoral experience.
