About this position
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 suited to candidates interested in organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials science, and hands-on laboratory research. The post specifically mentions applications of plant-oil-based materials such as resins, adhesives, and coatings.
Eligibility: a Master's degree in chemistry, polymer science, materials science, or a related field. The ideal candidate should enjoy experimental lab work and be motivated by fundamental scientific questions.
Funding: approximately €2,832 gross/month, 30 h/week, for 3 years, under the Austrian Universities Collective Agreement.
Start date: February 2027.
How to apply: upload a CV and a short motivation note as a single PDF using the QR code in the flyer or the application link provided in the post.
