Dr Jason McNulty studied for his MChem in Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. He then remained in St Andrews to conduct his PhD studies with Dr Finlay Morrison from 2015-2018 with his research focusing on structure-property relationships in tungsten bronze oxide materials. In October 2018, Jason began work as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Professor Philip Lightfoot's group investigating the synthesis and characterisation of layered hybrid organic-inorganic tin- and lead-halide perovskite materials. Jason joined the faculty of the School of Chemistry in January 2021 as an Associate Lecturer (Education Focused) in Inorganic Chemistry. He was appointed as Lecturer in September 2022.

Jason is the School Director of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, the LGBTQI+ Champion, Co-Director of Wellbeing and a member of the School Ethics, Recruitment and Outreach committees and the Career Development Group. Jason is also a member of the University Mediation service, a Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

Jason contributes to teaching at both sub-honours and honours levels through lectures, tutorials and labs. 

Jason provides lectures for CH2501 Inorganic Chemistry 2 (6 lectures 'Solid State Chemistry'; 3 lectures 'F-block Chemistry'), CH3431 Chemistry Workshop ('Crystallography') and CH4514 Advanced Metal Chemistry and Green Chemistry (4 lectures 'Chemistry of 4d and 5d Elements'). He contributes to the Inorganic Distance Learning Module (CH4455) based on his CH4514 content.

Jason is the module coordinator for CH2501, CH3431 and CH4514. Jason also contributes to tutorials for CH1401, CH1402, CH2501 and CH4461/5461 Integrating Chemistry and demonstrates in the CH2501 and CH3521 inorganic lab courses and the CH4421 Research Skills Lab course.

Jason's research interests are in the area of hybrid inorganic-organic perovskite materials and their structural chemistry. Jason uses these real-world examples as a key resource in helping students better understand crystallography in his teaching and to explore the structural diversity of this particular class of materials.
