Research Fellow/associate

Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Strathclyde Full time

Salary: £45,585

FTE: 1.0

Term: Fixed Term (36 months)

Closing date: 07/06/2024

A computational chemistry researcher is required to deliver an ambitious research programme to understand reaction mechanisms in homogeneous catalysis by complexes of nickel, generously funded by the Leverhulme Trust for three years. The position is nominally 1 FTE, but it may be possible to offer this on a part-time basis and/or with some component of hybrid working; the position will not be offered on a fully remote basis.

We have studied the reactions of homogeneous nickel(0) complexes with a variety of organic substrates in some detail (_Catal. Sci. Technol.,_ 2021, **11**, 2980). Nickel(0) can react with organohalides _via_ mechanisms including oxidative addition, halogen atom abstraction, and electron transfer, and it possible that spin crossover plays a role in some cases. The exact mechanism(s) that operate are highly dependent on the nature of the ligand and the substrate in each specific reaction. This project will assess the fundamental features of each system that influence reaction selectivity, with the aim of producing a unified model that can predict the reactivity of any nickel catalyst system. While the research team is primarily focused on laboratory experimental studies, the use of computational chemistry is becoming increasingly important to deliver our research objectives, and you will be the computational chemistry expert within the team. The project will be carried out using the ARCHIE-WeSt High-Performance Computer hosted at the University of Strathclyde (archie-west.ac.uk), which comprises 84 ‘standard’ nodes (40 cores, 192 GB RAM), two ‘bigmem’ nodes (80 cores, 3 TB RAM), and 24 Nvidia A100 GPUs (8 x 40 GB; 16 x 80 GB). High priority access is costed into the project.

To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level in an appropriate discipline or have significant relevant experience in addition to a relevant degree. You will have sufficient breadth and depth of expertise and experience in computational chemistry as applied to homogeneous catalysis, as well as the fundamental principles of organometallic chemistry and organometallic reaction mechanisms.

Formal interviews for this post will be held on Monday, 8 July 2024 between 10 am and 4 pm.
