Polymer Physics jobs

The researcher will study how polymer structure and rheology determine processability, including extrusion, compounding and fiber spinning. Experiments examine viscoelastic behavior, multilayers and interfaces, and preservation of microstructures during processing. The work connects fundamental materials research with industrial applications, publications…

Study solid polymer electrolytes for metal-anode batteries using molecular dynamics and density-functional theory. The project connects chemical structure with electrolyte properties to identify improved battery materials. This master’s fellowship is based at the Institute of Chemistry in Araraquara and requires full-time dedication. Applications remain…

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 coupled-cluster electronic-structure methods with periodic boundary conditions in Marco Caricato’s group. Apply the methods to electronic and optical properties of polymers, surfaces, films and crystalline materials, analyse results and prepare publications. The hybrid appointment also includes student mentoring and professional development. Initial…
