About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Catalysis and Machine Learning at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom.

This postdoctoral opening is in Prof. Igor Larrosa’s team and focuses on catalysis, organometallic chemistry, organic chemistry, and machine learning. The project is funded by EPSRC and will explore how machine learning can be used to develop new tools for investigating catalytic reaction mechanisms, especially in homogeneous catalytic processes relevant to organic chemistry. The work is collaborative and links with the Bures group at ICIQ, building on prior proof-of-principle work published in Nature (2023, 613, 689).

The successful candidate is expected to hold a PhD in chemistry and have a strong track record in catalysis, organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and mechanistic investigation. The appointment is full time and available for up to 24 months in the first instance.

Applications should include a supporting statement and CV. Informal enquiries may be directed to Prof. Igor Larrosa at [email protected]. The closing date is 08 Oct 2026.

Apply via the University of Manchester jobs portal and review the further particulars/person specification before submitting your application.
