QMol will realise a new generation of switchable organic/organometallic compounds, with the potential to fulfil societal needs for flexible energy harvesting materials, low-power neuromorphic computing, smart têxtiles and self-powered patches for healthcare. The possibility of creating these exciting materials derives from a series of world firsts by the investigators, demonstrating that advantageous room-temperature quantum interference effects can be scaled up from single molecules to self-assembled monolayers, and new strategies for controlling molecular conformation and energy levels, and new methods of molecular assembly, which can be deployed in printed scalable architectures.
You will need to be highly motivated and be able to work collaboratively as part of a team, ensuring that key milestones are reached. You will be expected to lead discussions and give regular research updates in person with the group PI and in wider research group meetings with the project consortium. You must be able to independently design and execute research and have the knowledge and experience to optimise and troubleshoot. The ability to plan your own workload and keep accurate scientific records is important. We provide a supportive, stimulating, and interdisciplinary research environment working towards ambitious new scientist and technological goals in collaboration with our colleagues in the project consortium.
Lancaster University is a leading UK University and the Physics Department is one of the top in the UK for research. REF2021 rated 98% of our research outputs as world-leading or internationally excellent. The Department is ranked 5th in the UK for Physics in the Guardian University League Tables 2023.
The Department is committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies. We are also strongly committed to fostering diversity within our community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment, and social strength. We hold an Athena SWAN Silver award and Institute of Physics Juno Champion status. We welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our department.
