Hi, MacLean had been teaching advanced chemistry at Edinburgh University when he was offered a dream job doing the pure research that he loved . I'd say - form - an adjectival phrase, containing a relative clause function - describing 'job' meaning - the job consisted of doing pure research. He loved doing that.
