PhD Positions in Polymer Chemistry

Job Information

Offer description.

The Laboratory of Polymeric Materials (Prof. Athina Anastasaki) in the Materials Department of ETH Zurich is looking for exceptional and highly motivated PhD candidates with a strong interest in polymer chemistry, sustainability, and synthesis.

Job description

The global issue of the non-sustainability of plastics is a problem at the forefront of polymer chemistry. Transforming plastic waste into feedstocks for creating novel materials presents many great opportunities. However, the considerable chemical resistance of numerous plastics, combined with the substantial energy demands and limited specificity of pyrolysis, underscores the necessity for innovative methodologies to enhance the feasibility of chemical recycling. To contribute towards solving this problem, our group is currently developing new methods of degrading and depolymerizing polymers using radical chemistry to regenerate useful starting materials such as pure monomers, chain transfer agents, and/or initiators. We are particularly interested in new catalytic methods of chemically recycling polymers such as polymethacrylates, polystyrene, and polyolefins. Prospective candidates will have the opportunity to collaborate with other members of the group to guide their research projects in this area.

The PhD positions are fully funded for four years (extendable) with a competitive salary at level 1 according to ETH standards (~CHF48000 pa in 2023) with the possibility of yearly bonuses upon satisfactory performance. Starting dates are negotiable, and applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.

Your profile

• We are looking for exceptional candidates with an MSc degree or equivalent in chemistry, materials science or related areas and a strong background in polymer chemistry and organic chemistry.
• Previous experience and knowledge in ATRP, RAFT, organic synthesis, and polymer characterization is an advantage but not a must.
• Above all, you should be highly passionate about science and research, self-motivated, curious, creative and enthusiastic in what you do, as well as having a strong team spirit, excellent critical thinking skills, and advanced knowledge of written and spoken English.

We offer state-of-the-art laboratory facilities for polymer synthesis and characterization in a vibrant, collaborative, and dynamic group environment. Although our passion for science is central to our philosophy, we insist in believing that people are more important than science and as such we do our best to identify individual’s goals and help group members achieve them. We strive to maximize and exceed our potential through mutual support and we are committed to build and maintain a non-​judgemental environment where we aim for innovation by working together, challenging and supporting each other every day. As such only motivated people with good heart, will and intentions are welcomed in our group.

Working, teaching and research at ETH Zurich We value diversityIn line with our values , ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.

Job opportunities in polymer chemistry?

Currently completing my masters project in polymer chemistry, and wondering whether I should apply for PhD (either a position in a research group doing polymer chemistry, or a straight up post-grad polymer chemistry PhD e.g. I've found one just called 'polymer science'). I was wondering whether it's worth specialising in this field in terms of job opportunities, especially as I've been advised that it takes a lot of motivation to get through the work necessary for a PhD.
