**Who are we?**
We are the University of Cambridge presence in Singapore called Cambridge CARES, sponsored by the NRF
CREATE program CAM.CREATE. CARES also hosts industry-funded and other agencies funded projects. Our team
is comprised of world-class scientists and engineers working in a vibrant, fast-paced environment with great
opportunities for knowledge and skills development.
CARES is leading a new project “Sustainable Manufacture of Molecules and Materials (SM3)”, funded by NRF
CREATE programme within the Decarbonisation Grand Challenge. SM3 project is a collaboration with NTU, NUS,
CARES & the University of Cambridge and EPFL. The broad aim of the project is to develop novel approaches and
technologies for fully de-fossilised routes to complex functional molecules and molecular materials. The project
will explore novel chemical transformations for conversion of net-zero feedstocks to building blocks typically
conversion of the building blocks into end-use functional molecules. Novel synthesis technologies
(photoelectrochemistry, sonochemistry, mechanochemistry, etc), as well as advanced research methods (AI,
chemoinformatics, high-throughput synthesis) and process metrics (LCA and technoeconomic analysis) are
included in this large project.
**Who are we looking for?**
The Gaunt group are looking for passionate and creative scientist to join our team as postdoctoral researchers
in synthetic chemistry based in Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore, and
dynamic and collaborative research group of Professor Matthew Gaunt, working at the forefront of cutting-edge
The synthetic chemist at CARES will be supervised by Prof. Gaunt and will join a “Synthesis Team” of the larger
SM3 project, which will involve close collaboration with Profs. Ming Joo KOH (NUS) and Shunsuke CHIBA (NTU).
The “Synthesis Team” will be supported by the “AI team”, co-led by Profs. Philippe Schwaller (EPFL), Alexei
Lapkin and Markus Kraft (Cambridge/CARES).
**Position Overview**: As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be involved in designing and developing catalytic
activation modes that lead to new synthetic transformations. Synthetic chemists are uniquely placed to leverage
catalytic systems to design reactions that control structure and function at a molecular level in all types of
bioactive complex molecules. We are looking for experts in synthetic chemistry who are interested in taking on
new challenges and exploiting their experience to explore new areas of catalyst-controlled reactivity that lead
to an expansion of accessible chemical space.
**What skills do you have?**
We are looking for passionate and creative scientists to work as part of a collaborative team. Excellent
organisational and interpersonal skills are required to ensure success in liaising with a large and diverse research
team. Essential requirements include: Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, Strong background in synthetic organic
chemistry, and Demonstrated track record of high-quality research.
**When is the position available and for how long?**
The position is available from January 2025 for 1 year in the first instance and up to 4 years in total.
**What can we offer you?**
A stimulating working-environment with friendly, highly motivated colleagues.
Opportunities to develop and implement new ideas in a creative environment.
A competitive salary in line with your skills and experience.
A one-year contract in the first instance, extendable following satisfactory performance.
A comprehensive medical insurance cover as part of your employment.
