The Helms group develops bio-derived chelators and functional polymer sorbents for critical-mineral recovery. Research combines molecular synthesis, metal-binding selectivity and kinetics, analytical characterization and separation testing, including regeneration and cycle life. The two-year postdoctoral role offers annual pay of USD 99,192–110,808.…
Investigate how water-soluble polymers bind to mineral and organic surfaces, soils, sediments and sludge. The project relates polymer properties to adsorption and mobility using batch and column experiments, surface measurements and mass spectrometry, and includes collaboration and student supervision.
Synthesize organic and organometallic compounds for materials used in extreme environments. The project connects precursor chemistry with ceramic and carbon composites, including conventional and additive manufacturing, at the Chemical Sciences Division and Manufacturing Demonstration Facility. Applications are made on the employer’s recruitment portal; no…
Investigate how water-soluble and water-dispersible polymers interact with soils, sediments, sludge and model surfaces. The project links polymer structure and solution chemistry to adsorption, desorption and transport through batch experiments, flow columns, surface measurements and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Work is shared between ETH Zurich and…
A fully funded four-year PhD in ETH Zurich’s Robotic Materials group investigates materials whose mechanical modulus, viscoelasticity and flow behavior can be programmed within one continuous body. Work includes dynamic covalent polymer-composite synthesis, rheological characterization, theory and multiphysics simulation, and fabrication of soft robotic…
Develop ligands and functionalised sorbents for recovering gallium, germanium and other critical minerals from zinc-processing streams. Research spans organic synthesis, resin and polymer modification, liquid–liquid and solid–liquid separations, and analytical characterisation. The Nanomaterials Chemistry Group collaborates with spectroscopy, theory,…
