Postdoc To Work On Chemical Modification Of Polymers And Electrospinning For Ine
vor 1 Monat
In our research group, we strive to transfer membrane and encapsulation strategies from academia to industry. Solution-based processes like electrospinning, spraying and microfluidic wet spinning are used to obtain membranes, fibers and particles for applications including tissue scaffolds, drug delivery, textile functionalization and air filtration. Scalable post-processing technologies subsequently allow for the production of functional prototypes to ensure a swift and successful implementation by industry. This project is an Innosuisse collaboration with a Swiss textile industry partner and combines scalable chemical modification with electrospinning for inert filter composites, which need to be tailored to and characterized under extreme application conditions. Your tasks The PostDoc will take the lead in:
- Organizing project meetings and reports according to internal and external (industry partner, funding agency) requirements
- Chemically modifying commercial high-performance polymers in controlled scalable processes
- Producing electrospun membranes as prospective filters on a needleless roll-to-roll pilot-scale
- Transferring (laminating, welding etc.) and structuring/post-processing these composites
- Establishing and implementing high-temperature and chemical fatigue testing
- Disseminating the results in form of patents or publications, as well as assist in the technology transfer
- A PhD degree with substantial experience in Chemical Functionalisation/Engineering, Electrospinning, Materials/Polymer Science/Technology and/or Polymer Processing
- Proficiency (written and oral) in both English (CEFR C1) and German (at least basic level)
- Scientific curiosity, independence, capability of working in a multidisciplinary environment, out-of-the-box thinking as well as an astute approach to unfamiliar (upscaling) technologies and general technical affinity
- A habit of safe and considerate working with dangerous chemicals and setups
We live a culture of inclusion and respect. We welcome all people who are interested in innovative, sustainable and meaningful activities - that's what counts.
