Job summary

Private Advertiser in Singapore seeks an early-career PhD scientist to lead hands-on development of stimuli-responsive soft materials, mainly liquid crystal elastomers, and their fabrication into 3D micro-structures by two-photon lithography. You will own the work from chemistry through printed structure to measured performance.

You will work closely with engineers across mechanical, process and device disciplines to turn lab results into robust, repeatable processes.

Qualifications

Design, synthesise and formulate LCEs and related responsive polymer networks.
Develop two-photon lithography processes for LCE and soft resins.
Control and verify molecular alignment in printed micro-structures.
Characterise thermal, mechanical and actuation behaviour and relate to chemistry.
Run designed experiments and document results for reproducibility.
Assist in equipment setup, materials qualification and lab safety.

Responsibilities

Lead hands-on development of stimuli-responsive soft materials, mainly LCEs.
Fabricate 3D micro-structures via two-photon lithography and optimize fidelity.
Collaborate with engineers across disciplines to scale lab results.
Maintain rigorous lab records and contribute to invention disclosures.
Support equipment qualification and safe-handling practices for soft-materials work.
