We are always keen to hear from talented and motivated researchers interested in joining our group. Our projects span cutting-edge areas of Digital Chemistry - including data science, machine learning and high-throughput experimental alongside synthetic organic/organometallic and physical organic chemistry. This combination provides a unique training environment where students and researchers gain first-class skills in both experimental and computational approaches, preparing them for successful careers in modern academia or industry. Opportunities exist at all levels, from Undergraduate and Visiting Scholar projects to Ph.D. and Postdoctoral positions. Please get in touch (jac340@bath.ac.uk) if you are interested in research opportunities. Funded positions will be advertised below and across relevant platforms.
