About the role

The Legacy Manager will lead this fundraising activity, developing and delivering a strategy to increase future income from gifts in wills. We receive around £750,000 from legacies each year and over 100 alumni and supporters have confirmed they will remember Southampton in their will.

EXPRESS is a large (£10M) flagship, interdisciplinary research programme over 5-years. It is led jointly by the Universities of Southampton and Warwick, alongside several international and industrial partners, and brings together internationally leading teams from across chemistry, physics and electronic engineering. It aims to deliver a step-change in the understanding and control of electrochemical growth of high-quality mono/few-layer functional transition metal dichalcogenides TMDCs, combining precursor design and synthesis, electrochemistry, solution and surface computation, advanced characterisation and device integration. In addition to the essential disciplinary research skills, candidates should demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm for collaborative working, the ability to communicate effectively across disciplines, and well-developed organisational skills.

The purpose of this role is the synthesis and characterisation of porous thin film materials, typically silicas, that may be used as templates for the deposition of TMDCs. For this we use a range of sol-gel and electrochemical deposition methods. The successful candidate will also carry out a range of X-ray characterisation methods, including Bragg, small angle and reflectivity methods on thin film samples. Writing successful proposals for synchrotron beam time will be necessary for some of these experiments. You will be required to be flexible and interact effectively with colleagues across the wider EXPRESS consortium to fulfil the scientific goals of the Programme.

The position is offered for 24 months in the first instance, with the possibility of extension for a further year.
