The School of Chemistry is seeking applicants for the following positions:
-Reader/Senior Lecturer in NMR Spectroscopy
-Senior Lecturer/Lecturer in Mass Spectroscopy
-Research Fellow in NMR Spectroscopy
The School is seeking to strengthen its research and teaching capabilities in
the fields of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Applicants must have
strong research backgrounds and the ability to initiate and foster major
instrumentation improvements. For the Reader / Senior Lecturer / Lecturer
positions, preference will be given to applicants with a background in
bio-organic or biological chemistry who are willing to encourage
interdisciplinary research and teaching initiatives both inside and outside
the School.
High resolution solution NMR instrumentation will include two 400 MHz and two
300 MHz instruments on site and access (20%) to a 500 MHz instrument. A 300
MHz CP/MAS attachment for solids will be available. Planning to gain access
to higher field instruments has a high priority. The Reader / Senior
Lecturer will be appointed director of the NMR facility and be responsible
for overall planning and effective functioning. The Research Fellow, with
the help of a Professional Officer, will be responsible for day-to-day
functioning, technique development and training. The appointee will be
encouraged to undertake independent and collaborative research. This
appointment will be for up to three years in the first instance.
Mass spectrometric instrumentation presently includes two high resolution
instruments (VG and JEOL), one with FAB/EI/CI and GC capability. Funds are
available to seed substantial expansion and the Senior Lecturer / Lecturer
will exercise responsibility for that expansion and for further development
and interaction with other groups within the University.
The School has appointed Professor R.O. Watts as ICI-Masson Chair of
Chemistry and Head of School from late June, 1995. It currently has 31 full
time academic staff who undertake a range of internationally recognised
research programs. The School also provides teaching programs for over 1800
undergraduate and some 90 postgraduate students and participates in a variety
of community education programs.
