Background

Born and brought up in County Durham and educated at Shotton Hall Comprehensive School and Peterlee Tertiary College, I read for a DPhil in Physical Chemistry at Magdalen 1992-96 after a first degree in Physics and Chemistry at Leeds University. I worked as a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow in Boulder, Colorado with Professor David Nesbitt and then as a Ramsay Memorial Fellow back in Oxford. My first permanent academic job was at the University of Warwick (1999-2006) before I moved to Cambridge (2006-08). I finally returned to Magdalen as Tutorial Fellow in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry in 2008. I am now Professor of Chemistry and Head of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry in the department of Chemistry.

Teaching

When a Medical Physics Resident position becomes available, standard search and selection procedures are used, similar to those used for other Medical Physics staff positions (See the Resources at the AHS Careers site). Preference will be given to applicants legally entitled to work in Canada and who hold a Medical Physics degree.

All aspects of physical and theoretical chemistry.

Fermilab’s Theoretical Physics Department is inviting applications for one or more postdoctoral Research Associate positions in the area of theoretical quantum information science (QIS), working at its interface with High Energy Physics, quantum field theory, and fundamental physics. This position is for a three (3) year term. Mackenzie's Web Page: Math and Physics Home Calculus Physics 11 Physics 12 Math 12 Helpful Resources Trigonometry Videos Radius Tangent Video.

Research Interests

I run a research group of about 10 people within the Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory with research interests spanning gas-phase spectroscopy and dynamics and spin dynamics in protein systems. In particular, we use a combination of experimental and computational approaches to study the structure and chemical reactivity of isolated transition metal clusters as models of active sites on heterogeneous catalysts. In other projects we employ novel optical cavity-enhanced absorption techniques to study magnetic field effects in proteins – work driven by a desire to understand the way many animals, especially some migratory songbirds, sense the Earth’s magnetic field.
