About this position
The University of Limerick is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher (Level 1) in Electropolymerisation within the Faculty of Science & Engineering and the Department of Chemical Science.
The project addresses the need for conductive thin films that combine high conductivity, long-term stability, flexibility, biocompatibility and scalable manufacturing. The research will develop an interfacial electrosynthesis platform for producing conducting polymer films that can overcome limitations associated with benchmark materials such as PEDOT:PSS, including insulating additives, limited stability and suboptimal biocompatibility.
The postdoctoral researcher will establish a comprehensive performance dataset for interfacially electrosynthesized conducting polymer films and assess their conductivity, stability and biocompatibility against state-of-the-art materials. The work will also involve developing prototype thin films and demonstrator devices for biointerfaces, supercapacitors and photovoltaic systems.
A further focus is the translation of the technology toward industrial application. The researcher will help define a pathway for roll-to-roll manufacturing and carry out techno-economic benchmarking against existing conducting-polymer fabrication methods, supporting the movement of the technology from laboratory-scale innovation toward commercial adoption.
The researcher will join the University of Limerick’s research-led environment in the Department of Chemical Science, with informal enquiries directed to Dr Micheal Scanlon.
