We're recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher to join an interdisciplinary EPSRC UK Catalysis Hub-funded project at the University of Liverpool to develop kinetics-driven digital platforms for the design of sustainable organocatalysts.
The project is a collaboration with Prof. Donna Blackmond FRS and Dr Alex Ganose integrating synthetic organic chemistry, kinetic analysis, automation, and machine learning to establish next-generation, mechanism-led workflows for asymmetric organocatalysis.
The post is based at the Materials Innovation Factory, School of Physical Sciences, University of Liverpool within a highly collaborative research environment, and includes dedicated research placements at Imperial College London to support the integration of kinetic descriptors into machine-learning pipelines.
The project is supported by major industrial partners AstraZeneca and GSK, offering excellent opportunities for industry engagement, collaborative knowledge exchange, and exposure to real-world challenges in sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing and catalytic process development.
Please share or get in touch if interested!
Application deadline: 27 February 2026
