Fully Funded PhD in Ionic Liquid-Directed Block Copolymer Self-Assembly for Advanced Functional Materials Aston University in United Kingdom

Two research opportunities are being advertised by Amit Kumar at the University of St Andrews. The first is a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) position in organometallic catalysis , polymer synthesis , and polymer recycling . The project is aimed at a motivated researcher and is scheduled to begin in February 2027 . The second is a fully funded PhD opportunity in catalysis and techno-economic analysis , starting in September 2027 . This is a co-tutelle PhD jointly offered by the University...

The University of Padua’s Department of Chemical Sciences, through the MOC Laboratories, is offering two doctoral positions in the POLY4EV Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network, focused on molecularly designed polymers for electric vehicles. The first PhD project, Architecturally Controlled Polymers for EV Lubricants , investigates polymer synthesis and molecular architecture, including branched and cyclic polymers. The research targets advanced lubrication materials, friction and wear reducti...

The University of Birmingham is offering a PhD studentship in polymer chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and dynamic materials. Based in the Fielden group, the project investigates how osmotic pressure can initiate polymer breakdown and enable the controlled exchange of monomers between polymers. The researcher will design reaction systems in which monomers diffuse away from parent polymers, study reversible depolymerisation under different conditions, and work with reaction media and catalysts...

This 18-month postdoctoral project in circular polymer chemistry is based at the Institute of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences of Montpellier (ICGM), in collaboration with the French deep-tech start-up PETSHKA. The research will investigate sustainable routes for the chemical recycling and valorization of major polymers. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the catalytic depolymerization of polyurethanes and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) , examining how the structures of the resulting pro...
