PhD in Synthesis of Sustainable PFAS-Free Polymers for High-Performance Applications Eindhoven University of Technology in Netherlands

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...

HIPOLE Jena , the Helmholtz Institute for Polymers in Energy Applications Jena, is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to work on sustainable polymer research for energy applications. The project focuses on organic and polymer-based redox-flow batteries , with particular emphasis on developing new active materials. The researcher will synthesize and characterize novel molecules and polymers designed for use in organic and polymer-based redox-flow battery systems. The role also includes ass...

PhD position available at BOKU University in Tulln, Austria (near Vienna) on green polymers from plant oils . The project, From Mixtures to Models: Plant-Oil Polymer Networks , is FWF-funded and aims to understand how the molecular structure of plant oils influences the properties of the resulting polymers. The research will involve synthesizing well-defined building blocks from plant oils, converting them into polymer networks, and characterizing their properties. This opportunity is well suite...

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the research group of Aurelio Mateo-Alonso at POLYMAT, University of the Basque Country. The post is brief and does not include detailed project descriptions, funding terms, eligibility criteria, or an application deadline. The research context appears to be in chemistry, with a strong materials/polymer science angle, and the group’s interests include ⌬ derivatives. This is a postdoctoral opportunity rather than a PhD or master’s call. Interested candi...

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...
