Do you have an interest in and knowledge of green chemistry? Do you want to help identify which areas of green chemistry to target for adding new material to the Science Museum's world-leading chemistry collections?

About us

The Science Museum has identified green chemistry as a key area of contemporary science it wishes to represent in its collections. We are seeking a highly motivated individual with interest and expertise in green chemistry to carry out research about this field to inform our curatorial team.

About the role

We are recruiting for a Research Fellow of Green Chemistry to join our Collections team at the Science Museum in London. We are initially advertising this role as working 14 hours per week on a fixed-term, contract for 12 months, however this can be adjusted based on the needs of the successful candidate e.g. working more hours per week on a shorter contract.

In this role the research you will carry out will help Curators identify what areas of green chemistry to target for adding new material to the Science Museum's world-leading chemistry collections, which include Dmitri Mendeleev's first published periodic table, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin's molecular model of penicillin, and samples of William Perkin's original mauve dye.

The Research Fellowship, funded by the Royal Society of Chemistry, will be the first project of its kind at the Science Museum: undertaking a review of recent and ongoing scientific literature within a museum context.

Collaborating with the Royal Society of Chemistry's Member Communities Team, you will network with practitioners of green chemistry in academia and industry, helping to determine the Science Museum's strategy in engaging audiences in this field in the years to come.

About you

Joining us you will have interest in and knowledge of green chemistry. You will have experience of carrying out research using varied sources and a familiarity with researching and surveying scientific literature.

Crucially for this role you will be able to work collaboratively with others, using your good interpersonal and networking skills to build effective working relationships with internal and external peers, subject specialists and external organisations.
