Description Position Details School of Chemistry College of Engineering and Physical Sciences Location: University of Birmingham Edgbaston Birmingham UK Full time starting salary is normally in the range 36636 to 46049 with potential progression once in post to 48822 As this vacancy has limited funding the maximum salary that can be offered is Grade 7 salary 36636. Full Time Fixed Term contract up to August 2028 Closing date: 19th August 2025 UK and International travel may be required for this role Background The post holder will be required to carry out computational materials chemistry research focussed on understanding and predicting novel wide band gap oxides and in examining defects processes in these materials. Computational work will be performed in collaboration with experimental efforts and so the post holder will also present results and contribute significantly to an interdisciplinary feedback loop. The School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham is a vibrant and thriving academic community with over 100 academic and research staff 20 professional services staff and over 600 students. We provide an inclusive and supportive environment where we strive to support every member of staff in realising their career a strong focus on our four Research Themes of Energy Sustainability Environment and Health and a number of interdisciplinary Interest Groups serving as testbeds to explore new and emerging areas of interest we are a dynamic place to work. We have ambitious plans to expand our research activity and are in an exciting period of growth:major investment from the University will deliver a state-of-the-art research building (opening in 2023/24) and new multi-million pound high-performance computing facilities which will ensure UK-leading compute investments build on a major recent expansion of our academic staff and investment in our teaching and learning provision with our Collaborative Teaching Laboratory which opened September 2018 already revolutionising how we teach undergraduate practical chemistry. We are a collegiate School community. You will demonstrate academic citizenship develop and maintain generous mutually respectful and supportive working relationships with the School ensuring the way you carry out your role impacts positively on how others carry out theirs. The Scanlon Materials Theory Group (SMTG) is led by Professor David O. Scanlon. We are seeking to recruit a Research Fellow in Computational Discovery of Wide Band Gap Conducting Oxides who will computationally explore new semiconducting oxides for transparent conducting oxide and power electronics applications. The position is funded by the project PRAETORIAN an ERC Consolidator grant that has been underwritten by UKRI and is available from 01 October 2025 through to the end of the project in August 2028.
