About this position
This postdoctoral project at the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Chemistry focuses on the interfacial engineering of liquid metals. The successful candidate will investigate the morphology and spatial composition of liquid-metal surfaces and how these interfaces change when modified with macromolecular surfactants.
The research addresses a challenging and highly dynamic system, where small interfacial changes can strongly influence chemical reactivity, rheology, and conductivity. The project is positioned at the intersection of organic chemistry, polymer synthesis, and materials-focused surface analysis, with clear relevance to the development of advanced functional materials.
Working in Dr. Piotr Mocny’s group, the researcher will contribute to the synthesis of liquid-metal nanoobjects and polymer-based surfactants, as well as the chemical, morphological, and mechanical characterization of liquid-metal systems. The work also includes the assembly of demonstration devices such as sensors, actuators, and radiators.
Dr. Mocny’s research background in controlled radical polymerization and the modification of diverse substrates supports the project’s emphasis on modern polymer chemistry and interfacial design. The position is hosted by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Warsaw, with the contact point located at the Biological and Chemical Research Centre in Warsaw.
