Postdoctoral Positions in 2D Polymer and Membrane Synthesis at Max Planck Institute Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Germany

The Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Department of Synthetic Materials and Functional Devices (SMFD), is offering two postdoctoral positions within the FhG-MPG GENIUS project. Successful candidates will join the 2D Polymer and Interfacial Synthesis Group, led by Dr. Zhiyong Wang, and will focus on the design and synthesis of crystalline 2D polymers and 2D polymer heterostructure membranes. The research involves advanced on-water surface synthesis techniques, with an emphasis on precise control over molecular architecture, surface charge, and proximity effects.

This opportunity is ideal for researchers with a background in membrane technology, polymer synthesis, and materials science. The group is part of a leading research institute in Germany, providing access to state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative scientific environment. The positions are fully funded as part of the GENIUS project, although specific salary and benefits details are not disclosed in the announcement.

Applicants should hold a PhD in materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related discipline. Experience in polymer synthesis, membrane fabrication, or interfacial synthesis is highly desirable. Strong experimental skills, the ability to work both independently and as part of a team, and excellent English communication skills are required. The research will contribute to advancements in membrane technology and the development of novel materials for various applications.
