A two-year postdoctoral position is opening at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), Shanghai, for a duration of duration of 2 years (renewable) in the Guerin laboratory.
Project Details
The work focuses on the development of 1, 2 and 3-dimensional nano and meso structures of control dimensions and morphologies for biomedical applications. At ECUST, the Guerin laboratory is dedicated to synthesizing new coil-crystalline block copolymers using ring opening polymerization, control radical polymerization and click reactions, to prepare nano and mesostructures by crystallization-driven self-assembly in solution (CDSA). CDSA of coil-crystalline BCPs in solution has proven to be an excellent tool for the preparation of well-defined sophisticated 1 and 2 dimensional nanostructures with tunable dimensions, which is an essential requirement for the fabrication of non-viral vector for drug delivery.
Selection Criteria
- PhD degree in Chemistry (Polymer Chemistry oriented)
- Excellent knowledge in polymer synthesis
- Strong experimental capability
- Experience with ring opening polymerization and Control radical polymerization
- Good communication skills, good command of English
- Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment
