ETH Zurich 2021 PhD Positions in Polymer Chemistry

The research related to the two doctorate positions will deal with polymer synthesis and characterization by controlled radical polymerization and other techniques. The focus is to:

1. improve existing methodologies to synthesize complex (nano)materials (e.g., ATRP, RAFT, emulsion polymerization),
2. fundamentally understand the underlying mechanism of these polymerization systems
3. translate the knowledge obtained to synthesize sequence- and dispersity-?controlled polymers.
