The School of Chemistry at the University of Lincoln has quickly established a strong position by developing an ambitious research agenda alongside its Employer-Engaged STEM taught programmes. We are seeking to substantially enhance our position across key strategic areas of Chemistry and Forensic Science, and further our track record in the application of chemistry in research and innovation.  Substantial investment has been realised in research and teaching facilities with specialist support infrastructure to create a dynamic and modern working environment for the School. Research in the School promotes inter-disciplinarity and aligns to three principal themes: advanced materials (e.g. electronic and optical materials, supramolecular and reticular materials, solid state materials and catalysis), innovative chemical methodologies (e.g. organic synthesis, analytical and forensic chemistry, formulation science) and the chemistry-bioscience interface (e.g. drug discovery and development, forensic bioanalysis and toxicology) and we are seeking enthusiastic individuals to significantly enhance one or more of these themes.

An ability to provide a broad contribution to the School's accredited programmes across chemistry and forensic science will be an advantage.  A commitment to working within multidisciplinary teams and an enthusiasm for developing research-integrated teaching will be strong attributes in the successful candidate.
