The Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division at Argonne National Laboratory seeks a postdoctoral appointee for its Polymer Upcycling Team, a multidisciplinary programme on the chemical recycling of polymers and organometallic catalysis. The appointee designs, synthesises and characterises new recyclable polymer systems, evaluates their thermomechanical properties, and investigates catalytic reaction mechanisms through reaction kinetics and complementary physical organic and inorganic chemistry approaches, communicating results through reports, presentations and publications. The expected hir
