TR-SANS PhD: PISA Morphology Kinetics

European Synchrotron Radiation Facility; France; On-site; EUR 13,000 - 20,000; Full time

Job summary

European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in France invites applications for a PhD position in Chemistry within the LSS group at ILL, Grenoble. The thesis uses Time-resolved Small Angle Neutron Scattering to study kinetics of morphological transitions during Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly (PISA).

You will synthesize polymers, characterize in dispersed medium and solution, handle complex instruments, and refine data with physical models.

Qualifications

• Experimental skills, rigor, communication skills, curiosity are demanded.
• A background in polymer chemistry and/or physical-chemistry is required. Knowledge of scattering techniques would be an advantage.
• Interest in programming is also a plus.

Responsibilities

• You will conduct polymer synthesis and characterization in dispersed medium and in solution, handle complex instruments, perform detailed data refinement and analysis with physical models.
• Due to the TR-SANS project, you will work with time-resolved scattering data to understand kinetic processes.
