About the Role

Informal Queries

For informal queries, please contact Professor Julie Macpherson at [email protected].

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join a project in the Department of Chemistry in the Warwick Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group at the University of Warwick working under the supervision of Prof. Julie Macpherson and Prof. Patrick Unwin.

The postdoctoral fellowship is part of the EPSRC-funded EXPRESS Programme Grant, ’Exploiting Single Source Precursors for the Electrochemical Growth of Functional 1D and 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMDC) Semiconductors’. EXPRESS is a flagship, interdisciplinary 5-year research programme led jointly by the Universities of Warwick and Southampton, bringing together internationally leading teams from across chemistry, physics and electronic engineering.

The Programme aims to deliver a step-change in the understanding and control of electrochemical growth of functional TMDC semiconductors, combining precursor design and synthesis, electrochemistry, solution and surface computation, advanced characterisation and device integration. In addition to the essential disciplinary research skills, candidates should demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm for collaborative working, the ability to communicate effectively across disciplines, and well-developed organisational skills.

In this role you will be using the high resolution electrochemical (EC) imaging techniques, with a focus on scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) and EC-atomic force microscopy to elucidate the early stage nucleation and growth mechanism of two-dimensional TMDC’s and metal nanostructures in the context of the larger EPSRC-funded collaboration project. You will be required to be flexible and interact effectively with colleagues across the wider EXPRESS consortium to fulfil the scientific goals of the Programme.

About You

Who you are: You might have a background in electrochemical imaging, electrochemical deposition, or a related field. You are a skilled experimentalist who has experience of working on hard problems that involve applications of micro-to-nanoscale electrochemistry.

You enjoy working in a diverse and multidisciplinary team where you contribute your expertise and skill set to deliver an ambitious research vision and where you can contribute to the training of PhD and Masters students. You are excited about opportunities to communicate with national/international collaborators across disciplinary and cultural boundaries.

For details on the experience and skills required, please refer to the

PhD Status

If you are near submission of your PhD, or have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made at Research Assistant level, at the highest spinal point of pay grade 5 (£34,610 per annum).

Upon receipt of evidence confirming the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow, at the lowest spinal point of grade 6 (£35,608 per annum).

About the Department

Who we are: The Macpherson and Unwin groups make up the Warwick Electrochemistry & Interfaces Group (WEIG), which is internationally leading in the development of frontier instrumental techniques, with applications in electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, electrodeposition, energy research, sensor systems, material characterisation and the life sciences.

The Department of Chemistry at Warwick is a thriving and inclusive community of students, academics, researchers, and professional services staff.

Our fundamental research pushes boundaries across all major fields of chemistry, while our applied work - delivered through close partnership with the wider scientific community and industry - addresses major global challenges, breakthroughs in health, solar energy harvesting, and sustainable materials.

We are proudly outward-facing, and our community is recognised as one of the strongest in the UK. Our extensive national and international relationships create an outstanding environment for collaboration, innovation, and career development. From polymers and catalysts to computation, advanced instrumentation and cutting-edge materials, our research sits at the forefront of the discipline.

We are highly interdisciplinary, having long-standing partnerships with the School of Life Sciences, Warwick Medical School, Physics, Manufacturing, Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics.

We are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive working and learning environment in which diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives are recognised, respected, and valued. Our Athena Swan Silver Award reflects our ongoing efforts to embed equality, diversity, and inclusion into our culture, practices, teaching, and research, and our commitment to supporting the career progression of all staff.
