About the Role
For informal enquiries, please contact Remzi Becer (Professor) at remzi.becer@warwick.ac.uk.
We are looking to recruit a Research Fellow with knowledge and interest of polymer chemistry to synthesise functional polymers. The ideal candidate would have skills in synthesis of cyclic monomers, high-vacuum distillation and other purification techniques as well as cationic polymerisation techniques. The project will involve synthesis of 2-oxazoline monomers and a good knowledge on cationic ring opening polymerisation or 2-oxazolines and 2-oxazines would be desired. The use of analytical techniques such as size exclusion chromatography, NMR and thermal analysis techniques will be needed.
This is a great opportunity for an individual wishing to extend and further develop their skills in an academic environment, whilst learning about a growing strategically important department at the University of Warwick.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
About You
The candidate should have a previous experience in cationic ring opening polymerisation technique and preferably using 2-oxazoline and 2-oxazine monomers. They are also required to know advanced analytical techniques to analyse the functional polymers and monitor the reactions.
For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description.
If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure.
CLOSING DATE: Wednesday 30 October 2024 at 11.55 pm
