Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained substantial attention from both academic and industrial sectors because of their exceptional porosity and their tailorable structures and properties. Use of MOFs in areas such as catalysis (e.g. CO₂ valorisation) and healthcare (including biomarker sensing and drug delivery) offer great promise for tackling major global challenges in energy, pollution reduction, and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. 

This project, funded through a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, will: 

1. build on our development of microwave flow reactor platforms for the discovery, optimisation, and scale-up of MOFs specifically targeting stimuli-responsive materials with new structures and particle characteristics;
2. deliver new understanding of MOF self-assembly processes and structure-property relationships using a range of in-, on- and off-line characterisation techniques including X-ray and electron diffraction, electron microscopy, IR and UV-vis spectroscopies, and gas sorption.

By combining MOF synthesis platforms (including one integrated with inline analysis to probe self‑assembly mechanisms) with comprehensive structural characterisation, this project will fast-track the development of high-performance MOFs and overcome challenges in reproducibility, unlocking their commercial exploitation.

We are seeking a Research Fellow to lead the synthesis and characterisation of new stimuli‑responsive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), using both flow and microwave reactor platforms and complementary experimental approaches. A major part of this role will be the design and execution of synthetic strategies to produce novel MOFs, followed by detailed characterisation to understand their structures, properties, and functional behaviour.

In parallel, you will investigate MOF nucleation and crystallisation mechanisms, measuring in situ formation and growth rates under both conventional and microwave heating. You will develop and apply kinetic models and compare reaction pathways across different heating regimes to build a comprehensive understanding of how structure and function emerge during synthesis.

You will employ advanced characterisation techniques, including, where appropriate, X‑ray atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, total/diffuse scattering, and electron diffraction (ED), alongside more routine X‑ray diffraction.  

You will work closely with a Research Fellow developing automated flow microwave platforms, as well as with PhD researchers. Together, you will integrate experimental data and mechanistic understanding into evolutionary algorithms and optimisation workflows to accelerate the discovery of high‑performance MOFs. You will also collaborate with colleagues across the Institute for Process Research and Development (iPRD) and the School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds to establish these capabilities towards MOF production. 

The role includes dedicated time at major facilities such as the Flow-Xl facility (Leeds), Diamond Light Source, and the National Electron Diffraction Facility (Warwick). As this role is funded by Dr Andrea Laybourn’s UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, you will be provided with opportunities for travel to partner universities and there is financial support to attend national and international conferences and training courses.

You will have a PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics, or a related discipline, with experience in the synthesis of MOFs and their characterisation using X‑ray diffraction techniques. You will bring a demonstrable track record of designing and executing synthetic strategies, analysing crystallographic data and developing insight into materials behaviour/properties.  

Experience in either powder or single‑crystal X-ray diffraction is essential for this role. Experience with in situ characterisation, mechanistic studies, or advanced diffraction‑based methods such as electron diffraction, pair distribution function (PDF) analysis or total/diffuse scattering would be highly advantageous, but these are not prerequisites. Experience with flow chemistry or microwave technologies would also be beneficial, though are optional. As part of the role, you will have the opportunity to train on new techniques. This post would be ideal for an ambitious, curious, and innovative researcher who enjoys working in a diverse and interdisciplinary team, is excited to learn new skills, and is keen to develop new experimental capabilities. You should be motivated to share knowledge openly and support and train others within the group.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Closing Date: 10 Jun 2026

Section: Administrative and Clerical Support

Salary: £26,707 to £28,778 per annum

This role will be based on the university campus with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Interviews are expected to be held on 19th June 2026 (due to limited availability of the panel, we are unlikely to accommodate alternative dates). Successful candidates will be asked to prepare a 5-minute presentation on their research experience and why they are a good fit for the role.

Do you have a strong background in climate or atmospheric modelling? Do you have a proven track record developing international research collaborations? We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed researcher to identify how tropical forests can contribute to climate change adaptation.

Finding solutions to climate change is urgent and essential for the future of humanity. Tropical forests have the potential to contribute to climate change adaptation, but there are crucial knowledge gaps on how intact and regenerating forests interact with climate and how well these processes are represented in global climate models. Existing models struggle to capture the complexity of tropical forest-climate interactions, limiting our ability to reliably predict the climate impacts of future land-use change, including tropical reforestation scenarios. 

This role is an exciting opportunity to transform our understanding of tropical forests in the climate system and deliver science that will directly impact international land-use policy. You will build a pan-tropical research network and co-develop methods with project partners to develop the UK Earth System Model (UKESM). You will apply process-based evaluation tools to global and regional convection-permitting simulations to produce the first detailed evaluation of forest-climate interactions. You will deliver updated regional climate projections based on the improved UKESM and bespoke land-use scenarios. Your work will directly inform international policies on how future land use can support climate resilience.

You will have (or be close to obtaining) a relevant PhD and have expertise in an area of Climate or Environmental Science. You will have experience of collaborating with a wide range of tropical forest stakeholders and demonstrate commitment to publication of original results at an international level. Working within a vibrant and internationally recognised research team, the project offers generous opportunities to travel and work alongside international experts in the field, to participate in international climate change conferences, to receive highly-specialised training to grow your technical research skills, and will provide an excellent springboard for a thriving research career.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

• Undertaking original research into forest-climate interactions and analysing and evaluating representation of these processes in global UKESM; 
• Running new convection-permitting simulations over three tropical domains and analysing model representation of land-atmosphere feedbacks;
• Producing updated projections of regional climate change over the next century based on improved UKESM and novel land-use scenarios;
• Developing productive international research collaborations through meaningful engagement with tropical partner countries (Brazil, Tanzania and Indonesia) in line with the University of Leeds’ decolonising framework;
• Preparing papers for publication in leading international journals and independently writing reports;
• Disseminating research results widely through project meetings, national and international conferences and policy engagement activities;
• Evaluating methods and results of other researchers and relating such evaluations appropriately to your own work; 
• Working both independently and also as part of a larger team of researchers, engaging in knowledge-transfer activities where appropriate and feasible; 
• Maintaining your own continuing professional development and contributing to the training and mentoring of less experienced colleagues as appropriate;
• Contributing to the research culture of the Biosphere Atmosphere Group and the wider School community, where appropriate.
