PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Polymer Science in New Zealand

Sandia National Laboratories is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to conduct experimental research in materials science, mechanical behavior, and reliable microelectronic packaging for harsh environments. The position is based onsite in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and supports research connected with the Center for Integrated Nanotechnology (CINT) , a Department of Energy Office of Science Nanoscale Science Research Center operated jointly by Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Labo...

This PhD project focuses on ultrafast electronic rearrangement and relaxation in biomolecules after photoabsorption. The student will investigate how several competing pathways, including very fast femtosecond charge-transfer and local electronic relaxation processes, unfold in complex molecular systems. The research uses a novel strategy based on Auger electrons emitted from a metallic site embedded in a porphyrin derivative. This local probe is used to follow the photoinduced electronic reorga...

This postdoctoral project focuses on the molecular-scale structural description of the conductive polymer complex PEDOT:PSS , whose organization remains debated in the scientific literature. The research aims to adapt cryo-TEM structural reconstruction approaches developed in structural biology to a chemistry and polymer-science context. The selected researcher will work on high-resolution cryo-TEM datasets to identify structures in micrographs, select objects according to morphology, and optimi...

This postdoctoral position is hosted at the PMMH, the Laboratory of Physics and Mechanics of Heterogeneous Media (UMR 7636 CNRS–ESPCI–PSL–Sorbonne Université–Université Paris Cité), in Paris. The project sits at the interface of fluid mechanics, soft matter physics and environmental microbiology, and focuses on how microplastics interact with microorganisms in flowing environments. The postdoctoral researcher will study the hetero-aggregation of microplastics with microorganisms , quantifying ho...

CNRS, at the Institut Pprime site on the Futuroscope campus in Poitiers, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ANR MAFIA project. The project brings together academic partners in France, including IC2MP, Institut Pprime, and ICMCB in Bordeaux, together with industrial partner Sunergy, around innovative zinc-air battery architectures and electrochemical energy conversion. The postdoctoral work focuses on the development of state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopy methods to cha...

This postdoctoral project is centered on the direct conversion of CO2 into liquid fuels through a Fischer-Tropsch-based route. The research addresses a major challenge for low-carbon transport: transforming captured carbon dioxide and hydrogen from renewable electricity into synthetic fuels that can fit existing infrastructure and fleets. The position is hosted at IMT Mines Albi-Carmaux and is part of a collaborative effort involving two laboratories, RAPSODEE in Albi and LCC in Toulouse . The w...

The University of British Columbia (UBC), in collaboration with Langara College, is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow for an interdisciplinary project in complex in vitro modeling and drug formulation testing in Vancouver, Canada. The research is situated within the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Applied Research Center at Langara College. The lab bridges benchtop drug discovery and clinical translation by developing advanced physiological models. The postdoctoral fellow will design, val...

This postdoctoral project at Université Côte d'Azur focuses on the valorization of biorefinery co-products by converting them into durable, high-value materials. The work is carried out in collaboration with GFBiochemicals and sits at the interface of molecular chemistry, macromolecular chemistry, and sustainable materials development. The selected researcher will contribute to the characterization of different co-products generated by biorefineries and assess their potential as starting points ...
