Fully Funded Postdoctoral Fellowship in Photoswitches, Liquid Crystal Elastomers, and Soft Matter at ISTA Institute of Science and Technology Austria in Austria

This postdoctoral project at the CNRS explores how to control the permeability of water-in-water emulsions stabilized by self-assembled lyotropic phases at the droplet interface. These emulsions, formed from phase separation in aqueous polymer solutions such as PEG and dextran, are attractive for encapsulation and controlled release of hydrophilic molecules without oil or organic solvent. The research sits within the ANR SHEILA project and focuses on making interfacial transport stimulus-respons...

This academic staff position in Karlsruhe offers the possibility of pursuing a PhD alongside the role, with a research focus on thermodynamic databases, materials science and thermodynamic modelling . The project will involve reviewing existing thermodynamic data and models used to calculate material systems, integrating previously unconsidered datasets and applying the expanded database in thermodynamic calculations. The researcher will also carry out experimental validation, notably through th...
