Senior Research Associate in Ultrafast Spectroscopy | Full-Time
more...School of Chemistry, Pharmacy and Pharmacology. Closes 13 January 2025
Salary on appointment will be £37,999 per annum, with an annual increment up to £45,163 per annum
A two-year Senior Research Associate position is available in the ultrafast spectroscopy laboratory in the School of Chemistry at the University of East Anglia (Meech Group).
