Postdoctoral researcher Polymer Chemistry, University of Fribourg

The Adolphe Merkle Institute (www.am-institute.ch) is an established independent center of competence associated with the University of Fribourg. AMI prides itself with an unusual blend of fundamental and application-oriented research within a multidisciplinary setting and strives to be a leader in interdisciplinary research on soft nanoscience. To complete our team, we are looking for a
 

Postdoctoral researcher (Polymer Chemistry)

 
[Job code: AMI-NB-004]
 
The Macromolecular Chemistry Group (Prof. Nico Bruns) invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher (m/f) for a project on self-healing polymer membranes. In particular, you will investigate polymer networks as self-sealing layer on waterproof and breathable membranes. The study will involve the development of new monomer formulations to coat membranes in close collaboration with several industrial partners.
You should hold a PhD degree in Chemistry and ideally be a polymer chemist with a strong background and experimental expertise in polymer synthesis, polymer processing, polymer characterization and testing of materials’ properties. You should be interested in driving a collaborative project between academia and industry forward. Good English language skills (written and oral) and an excellent track record of publications in peer-reviewed high quality journals are required.
We offer an interdisciplinary research environment at the interface of materials science, polymer chemistry and bionanotechnology, well-equipped laboratories, excellent working conditions and a competitive salary. The position will start as soon as possible and is initially funded for 12 months, with the possibility for an extension by further 6 months.
Please send your complete documentation (reference AMI-NB-004; including letter of motivation, CV, list of publications and contact details of at least two academic references) until 7.2.2016 to: Adolphe Merkle Institute, University of Fribourg, ami-applications@unifr.ch.
 
For additional information about the position, please contact: Prof.  Nico Bruns, nico.bruns@unifr.ch.
