Research/Job Area-

In the IPF Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry (IMC) competences in polymer synthesis and characterization of structural and functional polymer architectures are combined addressing applications, e.g., in optoelectronics, biomedicine and biotechnology, microfluidics, energy applications but also in technical performance applications. IMC is planning to expand its synthetic activities in sustainability of polymers and thus, it will fill up two postdoc/junior group leader positions.

Focus of the research of the applicants should be in the field of synthetic polymer chemistry and synthesis of novel building blocks and polymer architectures addressing any of the following fields:

Sustainable performance polymers and/or resins (step-growth and/or chain-growth polymerization), e.g. from renewable resources, (bio)degradable or easily recyclable materials
Polymeric materials with non-covalent and/or dynamic bondings, e.g. addressing recycling-on-demand, self-healing, self-repairing properties,
Polymeric materials in circular economy covering e.g. sustainable polymer synthesis and polymer modification methods, sustainable fillers and additives, life-cycle-analysis
