7 days ago
Position Summary Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work in the group of Dr Richard Knighton within the School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton. This EPSRC‑funded project will focus on the design and synthesis of novel heteropolymetallic architectures for molecular upconversion (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2022, 144, 29, 13356–13365). This project will combine organometallic and f‑block chemistries, in combination with photophysical studies to develop a new class of two‑photon anti‑Stokes’ luminophores. Responsibilities The successful applicant will join a diverse research team that is studying novel photoluminescent complexes for sensing, upconverting materials, and quantum technologies. The successful candidate will be required to conduct research on the design, synthesis, and photophysical characterisation of heteropolymetallic architectures and collaborate with other group members in a supportive environment. Qualifications Hold (or near completion of) a PhD in inorganic chemistry. Experience in organometallic chemistry, f‑block chemistry, photophysical characterisation, and single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction is highly desirable. Terms and Conditions The post is offered on a 24‑month fixed‑terms basis, subject to passing probationary requirements. The desired start date is as close to 1st March 2026 as possible, but flexibility will be employed for the right candidate. How to Apply Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Richard Knighton (R.C.Knighton@soton.ac.uk). Apply by uploading your CV and a cover letter detailing how your skills and experience match the requirements of the role. Apply by 11:59 pm GMT on the closing date. For assistance contact Recruitment on +44(0)2380 592750 or recruitment@soton.ac.uk quoting the job number. Diversity and Inclusion The growing research team are committed to diversity and inclusivity, which includes cultivating a collaborative and supportive environment for all group members. About Working at the University of Southampton As a university we aim to create an environment where everyone can thrive and are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and equality of opportunity. We believe that we can only truly meet our objectives if we are reflective of society, so we are passionate about creating a working environment in which you are free to bring your whole self to work.
