Description
Are you motivated by imagining creative solutions to tough problems? Are you searching for a role that leads to significant real-world impacts by applying your strengths in polymer chemistry? If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL. The Multifunctional Materials and Nanostructures Group is seeking a creative post-doctoral fellow with experience in polymer synthesis to help develop solutions to diverse problems. You will apply your strong background in chemistry to develop solutions for the government's most significant problems. Materials design requires a balance between simplicity and complexity. Practicality demands simplicity for sourcing, scaling, and cost. Functionality demands complexity and novelty to afford highly-specific and unique capabilities that can progress the future of materials science. To balance these design principles, modern polymeric materials require new and scalable synthetic polymer tools to access complex materials in a practical sense (e.g. controlled radical polymerizations, supramolecular polymerizations, stepwise synthesis). This postdoctoral position will focus on developing new polymer topologies and synthetic tools for accessing complex materials in a practical sense. Envision joining a collaborative team that is passionate about research and committed to excellence in innovation, open communication, and diversity. We strive to cultivate a collaborative atmosphere to achieve groundbreaking impact. Our APL team values integrity and innovative ideas that will ensure our Nation's preeminence in the 21st century. We enable our team members to generate and lead their own research ideas as well as publish their findings. At APL, we are a hardworking, multidisciplinary team committed to solving diverse problems while embracing risk with the goal of realizing creative solutions. Our group strives to foster a collaborative ecosystem with world-class expertise that achieves innovative impact. As a Post-doctoral Fellow, your primary responsibilities will be to...
