Queen's University Belfast

Research Fellow (Computational Chemistry)   Ref:  08/100387

QUILL Research Centre

School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering

We are currently recruiting FIVE postdoctoral research fellows and
a Synthesis technician to join the existing multidisciplinary research
team at Quill.  Quill is the Queen's University Ionic Liquid
Laboratories based in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
at the Queen's University of Belfast.  It is one of the largest and
most active ionic liquid research centres in the world, with a staff
that includes a number of world-renowned experts in the field including
Prof. Ken Seddon and Prof. Robin Rogers.  Quill is an
industry-university co-operative research centre and currently there
are fifteen industrial Members (spread across four continents)
including such blue chip companies as BP, Chevron, Merck, Petronas, P & G
and Shell.

The appointee will work closely with the existing research team at
Quill and under the guidance of both the Quill academics and industrial
Members to integrate with a large team of experimentalists working with
ionic liquids in order to analyze their data, develop a predictive
model, and provide a theoretical understanding of their observations.
There may be a requirement for the research fellows to work for short
periods in other laboratories.  All the research will be conducted to
meet the requirements of international patent law.

The appointments will be for 3 years in the first instance with
a possible extension subject to continued availability of funding.
