**Fixed-term Research Opportunity**

The University of Cambridge invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate to work with Professor Christopher Hunter in the Department of Chemistry on an ERC programme focused on developing new approaches to template synthesis.

The appointee will join a multidisciplinary team of researchers combining expertise in supramolecular chemistry, organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and computational chemistry.

The project aims to develop molecular systems capable of high fidelity template replication of molecular information.

Key responsibilities include organic synthesis of building blocks and templates, characterization of three-dimensional structures, reaction optimization, and kinetic/mechanistic analysis.

Applicants should have a PhD in chemistry and experience in organic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry, and physical organic chemistry.

The appointee will be expected to give oral presentations, write internal reports, and produce draft publications.

**Equal Opportunities**
