School of Chemistry Graduate Teaching Fellowship

Project Description

For this PhD Studentship, we are targeting individuals with the ability to support our future research ambitions. Research in the School promotes inter-disciplinarity and aligns to three research groups:

• Advanced Functional Materials (e.g. energy capture and storage, sustainability and Net Zero, electronic and optical materials, solid state materials and catalysis, formulation science)
• Innovative Analytical Methodologies (e.g. sensors, 2D and 3D imaging)
• Chemistry-Biology Interface (e.g. green chemistry, drug discovery and development, ‘omic sciences).

Person Specification and Requirements

• We are seeking applicants with enthusiasm and motivation to study chemistry and contribute to our team. You should have a 2:1 or higher undergraduate degree in chemistry, and related Master's degrees are particularly welcome. You must enrol and commence the Fellowship in October 2023.

A Graduate Teaching Fellow position is a four-year full-time role which combines PhD study with teaching duties. Applicants with relevant personal circumstances may be enrolled for six years on a part-time basis, but only where this is justified. All Graduate Teaching Fellows will have their PhD fees waived, whether they incur home or international fees. They will also receive the equivalent of the standard UKRI stipend (£17,668 p.a. in 2022-2023), partly as salary and partly as a stipend. Graduate Teaching Fellows will be provided with appropriate training and support to undertake their teaching role. It is envisaged that their teaching duties, including associated administrative support and training, will not exceed 468 hours (0.3 FTE) per year, and in no case will exceed 20 hours of duties per week.
