About this position
EPFL ALCHEMY, the Laboratory for the Chemistry of Materials and Manufacturing at EPFL Neuchâtel, is offering a full-time postdoctoral position focused on polymer design for vat photopolymerization. The lab develops accessible chemistries and processing strategies to enable advanced functional materials and devices, with an emphasis on turning chemical design into new manufacturing routes.
The postdoc project is centered on the development of either (macro)monomers for the synthesis of microstructured polymers or novel photopolymerization/photocrosslinking strategies. The successful candidate will take full responsibility for their own research, working on experiment design and execution, analysis and interpretation of results, and scientific publication. The role also involves mentoring on chemical synthesis and characterization and close collaboration with lab members and international collaborators.
The position is embedded in a research environment with state-of-the-art facilities and international collaboration and visiting opportunities. The work is positioned at the interface of polymer chemistry, materials development, and advanced processing, with a clear focus on enabling new functional polymer materials.
Funding details
Full-time 100% postdoc position with competitive remuneration; 1-year fixed-term contract, renewable.
What's required
A PhD degree in chemistry or polymer science is required; materials science is acceptable if the candidate has the required relevant experience. The candidate must have experience with small molecule synthesis and characterization, polymer characterization, at least 2 peer-reviewed scientific articles, and excellent communication skills in English.
How to apply
Apply only through the online platform by uploading a single PDF containing a cover/motivation letter, a detailed CV, a research statement on two novel small molecules and/or polymers synthesized and characterized, and names and contact information for at least two references.
