ASTAR: PhD and Postdoc poisition, Chemistry

One Ph.D student and one postdoc research position is available for a project funded by Singapore Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR)

Research area: Work focuses on synthesizing, characterizing, modeling, & simulating the thermo-mechanical behavior of polymers with covalent adaptable networks (CANs), for example vitrimers.

PhD position:

1. The PhD student will be supported by the SUTD-NUS Joint PhD programme,
2. Student will be registered with both National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD),
3. Selected candidate will be guided by academic staff from both universities and examined to the standards of both universities..

Core areas: PhD student can contribute to one or more of the key areas of the program –

1. Synthesis, characterisation, modelling, and simulating.
2. The selected PhD student will be advised by Prof. Martin Dunn & Prof. Kevin Ge Qi at SUTD, and Prof. Shailendra P. Joshi from NUS.

Postdoc position: The selected post-doc candidate will

1. Lead the synthesis and characterization of CAN polymers and
2. Studying their reprocessing and recycling behavior.
3. Synthesizing materials & fabricating samples, characterising them using standard analysis techniques,
4. Developing new test approaches and instruments to characterize the behavior of bonded and reprocessed samples.

Requirements:

1. PhD in Materials Science, Civil engineering, Mechanical engineering, or related fields.
2. The candidate with strong written skills and oral communication.
3. Demonstrated in the form of publications in reputed journals

Further Information: Salary and benefits will be commensurate with educational qualifications and work experience. If you are interested, please contact Prof. Qi (Kevin) Ge (ge_qi@sutd.edu.sg) for detailed information.
