The Department of Chemistry at Durham is one of the very best in the UK, with an outstanding reputation for excellence in research, teaching and employability of our students. We are an active and vibrant Department, with a strong cohort of early career academics and future leaders. We hold an Athena Swan Silver Award, recognising our commitment to gender equality. Our undergraduate programmes are ranked fifth in the Complete University Guide 2026. At postgraduate level, our students come from all over the world to carry out research.

Our research strategy is focussed around three interdisciplinary grand challenge themes: Chemistry for Health; Chemistry for Sustainability; and Chemistry for Change, and there is a strong culture of collaboration within the Department and with other Departments and Institutes within the University, including the Biophysical Sciences Institute, the Durham Energy Institute and the Institute for Data Science. We have strong links with many universities, research centres, and a long tradition of working closely with industry both in the North East region, across the UK and overseas. The Department benefits from excellent facilities, including mechanical, electrical and glass-blowing workshops, as well as state-of-the-art analytical capability.

The successful candidate will be expected to establish a world-class, externally funded research group, including collaboration with industrial partners. They will be required to teach core inorganic chemistry through lectures, tutorials, workshops and laboratory classes and contribute fully to teaching across the Department at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
