Full Job Description
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Transient Optical Spectroscopy of Photoelectrodes optical for organic oxidations to work under the supervision of Professor James Durrant in the Department of Chemistry, Oxford University, for a period of 12 months. The project is funded primarily by the EPSRC as part of project EP/Z536258/1, the Department of Chemistry, Oxford University, aligned with its Strategic Research Funding in Sustainable Energy.
As a Research Associate, you will join our team working on transient spectroscopic studies of photoelectrodes for sustainable fuels and chemicals, a UKRI funded project on photocatalytic green hydrogen production jointly with the McCulloch group at the University of Oxford. It will focus on the use of transient optical analyses of photoelectrodes for the complimentary oxidation of organic molecules such as glycol to value added products, including operando photoinduced absorption studies, and their correlation of materials structure, spectroelectrochemical analyses and photoelectrode performance.
Find out more about the research and group at: James Durrant | Department of Chemistry
Experience in transient absorption and photoinduced absorption analyses of photocatalyst / photoelectrodes for glycol or related oxidation, in addition to expertise in photoelectrode preparation and functional evaluation will be essential.
In this role you will be expected to work well as a part of the team, and contribute significantly to the supervision of research students, support in proposal writing, and with the management of external collaborations.
