PhD Position - Dynamic Polymer NetworksPhD Position - Dynamic Polymer Networks The Adolphe Merkle Institute's Polymer Chemistry and Materials Group (Prof. Christoph Weder) invites applications for a PhD Position in Dynamic Polymer Networks. This project is focused on the design, synthesis, and exploration of a new class of complex polymer networks. We target materials that contain different types of reversible bonds, which render the materials adaptive and promote multiple functions such as damage-sensing and self-healing. The research activities will involve the synthesis and processing of novel materials and the investigation of their structure-property relationships. The project is a collaborative effort with the research group of Prof. Stuart Rowan (University of Chicago) and will involve international research exchanges. Applicants must have a Master’s degree in Chemistry or Polymer/Materials Science and wish to pursue interdisciplinary research in a fast-moving international team. Experience in organic and polymer synthesis, the ability to advance a complex project independently and as part of a team, excellent communication skills, and proficiency in English are key requirements for this position. AMI offers very attractive employment conditions and an outstanding infrastructure in a new research facility. The position will be filled as soon as possible.
