About this position

University of Florida is recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate in Polymer Science and Biocatalysts at the Main Campus in Gainesville, Florida, United States.

This postdoctoral opportunity sits at the intersection of chemistry, polymer science, materials science, biocatalysis, organic chemistry, and protein engineering. The project aims to develop non-natural biocatalytic reactions for the synthesis, modification, and deconstruction of synthetic plastics. The research combines small-molecule synthesis, polymer synthesis, and protein engineering to address selectivity challenges in polymer science.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in chemistry or a closely related field, be able to start between January and August 2027, and have a strong publication record or evidence of research productivity. Strong written and oral communication skills, analytical and critical-thinking ability, and the capacity to work both independently and in a collaborative team are required. Experience in protein engineering or gene manipulation is strongly preferred, and the university also welcomes applicants seeking training in these subfields.

Preferred background: polymer synthesis and characterization, organic chemistry and asymmetric synthesis, high-throughput experimentation, enzyme discovery, gene manipulation, and protein engineering.

Funding and appointment: the salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience, and the position includes a full benefits package. The appointment is initially for one year and may be renewed for up to one additional year depending on performance, conduct, and availability of funds.

How to apply: submit the application online via the Apply Now portal. A complete application must include a letter of application, CV, statement of teaching and research goals, and at least three references. Only complete applications will be reviewed, and recommendation letters will be requested later for shortlisted candidates.

Deadline: applications close on 20 May 2027.
