德国亥姆霍兹吉斯达赫特研究中心(HZG)多维聚合物特性分析博士后

Postdoc (m/f/d) Multidimensional Polymer Characterization at Helmholtz-ZentrumGeesthacht (HZG)

Reference code: 50053233_2 – 2021/PL 3

Commencement date: as soon as possible for two years, full time (part time is possible)

The place of employment is Teltow (near Berlin).

Your tasks

Within this project we seek to build (co)polymer databases, with an emphasis on copolyesters. You are responsible for the instrumental setup of a multidimensional polymer analysis infrastructure tailored for specific polymer systems. Within the project you will implement high-throughput characterization methods (fractionation and spectroscopy) to build polymer libraries. You have the opportunity to participate actively in the publication of research results, preparation of patents, and in attracting additional funding.

Your profile

You have a PhD in organic chemistry or macromolecular sciences, chemical or polymer engineering, and a strong background in polymer analytics, especially in multidimensional chromatographic methods. Knowledge and experience in preparative fractionation and in alternative fractionation methods (e.g. field-flow fractionation) is an extra plus. You have already gained hands-on experience in the systematic characterization of polymers to derive structure-function relationships as documented by a significant number of scientific publications. Additional knowledge in coupling different analytical techniques or combinatorial approaches are highly welcome; knowledge in computer programming languages is an asset. You are eager to collaborate with material and computer scientists as well as researchers from other disciplines, and to transfer your ideas to application-based research, especially towards medical applications.
