　　College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences

　　Living Systems Institute

　　The College wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to support the work of Professor Frank Vollmer. This full-time post is available immediately on a fixed term basis for up to 36 months from the start date.

　　The project will develop chemical control at the nanoscale for single molecule sensing of molecular machines.

　　Prof Vollmer’s laboratory is pioneering optical sensors and spectrometers to visualise and detect processes at the micro- and nanoscale. For more information on Prof Vollmer’s laboratory: http://emps.exeter.ac.uk/physics-astronomy/staff/fv227

　　Project details: What we are looking for…

　　You will develop chemical control at the nanoscale, and study single molecules and molecular machines directly with light. Your task is to develop novel chemistry for state-of-the art optical nanosensors to enable studies of molecular reaction mechanisms, molecular mechanics and machines. You will advance chemistry on optoplasmonic nanosensors that are capable of visualising molecular processes at the single-molecule level. You are a (surface) chemist with advanced skills and expertise similar to what is required in the fields of molecular electronics and machines. You are excited about the goal of developing chemical control at or near a sensor interface. This leads into the study of the dynamics of molecular machines, charge-transfer reactions (molecular electronics), and chemical reaction mechanisms. You are excited about working as part of a multi-disciplinary team composed of phycisists, engineers, and biologists. You will work at the newly established Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter which provides state-of-the-art research facilities for realising one of the first optical approaches to study molecular electronics and machines: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/livingsystems/

　　Requirements for the role

　　Extensive experience with chemical manipulation of molecules on surfaces, surface chemistry, (bio-) conjugation techniques, characterisation of molecules on surfaces, colloidal nanoparticle synthesis is required. Familiarity with molecular electronics, molecular machines, single-molecules, and photochemistry is desirable.

　　Duties are to undertake research and fulfil other main duties and accountabilities associated with the position. You will be able to present information on research progress and outcomes, communicate complex information, orally, in writing and electronically and prepare proposals and applications to external bodies.

　　Applicants will possess a PhD in Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Physics, Engineering or a related discipline and be able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge in the discipline and of research methods and techniques to work within established research programmes. The successful applicant will be a nationally recognised authority in chemistry, surface chemistry, molecular machines, molecular electronics, or single-molecules and will be able to develop research programmes and methodologies. The successful applicant will also be able to work collaboratively, supervise the work of others and act as team leader as required.

　　Interviews are expected to take place beginning of May 2019.

　　The College is working towards department Silver Athena SWAN awards as a commitment to providing equality of opportunity and advancing the representation of women in STEM/M subjects: science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine.

　　The University of Exeter is an equal opportunity employer. We are officially recognised as a Disability Confident employer and an Athena Swan accredited institution. Whilst all applicants will be judged on merit alone, we particularly welcome applications from groups currently underrepresented in the workforce.
