Job description

Join us – we look forward to welcoming you to our Self-Organizing Soft Matter Research Group at Eindhoven University of Technology

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with a passion for polymer chemistry, self-assembly, and characterization of functional materials to join our team to design, synthesize, and study ice-interactive biomaterials varying in shape, size, and surface chemistry. The goal of your project is to synthesize a novel platform of self-assembling ice-interactive biomaterials and elucidate their structure-function relations to tailor activity.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct high-quality, curiosity-driven, original, and independent research focusing on the design, synthesis, and characterization of self-assembling biomaterials that interact with ice Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary and international team of researchers Present research findings at conferences and publish in top-tier scientific journals Mentor and support junior researchers in the lab

The formation and growth of ice during freezing, storage, and/or thawing of cryopreserved materials limits the potential of cryopreservation technology for the long-term storage of sensitive materials, such as cells, tissues, and organs. In this project, you will design, synthesize, and study a novel class of water-soluble polymer-based biomaterials, which modulate ice formation and growth and can be prepared in a scalable manner. You will further develop this platform of self-assembling ice-interactive macromolecules, study their self-assembly in solution into polymeric nanoparticles with customized structure and properties, and elucidate their structure-function relations to tailor activity. In this exciting role, you will work in a vibrant and international research group aiming to advance molecular insight into the working mechanism of novel ice-interactive materials for biomedical applications.

Job requirements

PhD in Polymer Science, Soft Matter, Nanoscience, (Physical) Chemistry, Materials Science, Molecular (Life) Sciences, or related area, obtained within the last four years Passionate about polymer science interfacing with biomedicine, (biological) soft matter, chemical biology, and regenerative medicine Strong qualifications and expertise in polymer synthesis, self-assembly, characterization of polymer micelles and particles, and relevant experimental techniques such as light scattering, small angle X-ray scattering, and/or cryogenic electron microscopy Familiarity with crystallization-driven assembly, PISA, water-soluble block copolymers, surface functionalization Ability to conduct high-quality academic research, demonstrated by an outstanding PhD thesis, publications in reputable scientific journals, and presentations at international meetings Strong motivation to do excellent, original, fundamental research. Proficiency in the English language, excellent written and oral communication and leadership skills. Note that there is no Dutch language requirement. Independent and goal-oriented scientist. Team player and able to work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and international context.

Conditions of employment

A dynamic and stimulating research environment Access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities Collaborative opportunities with leading experts in the field A full-time employment for 1 year, with a possibility of an extension for maximum 2 years. Salary in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale 10 (min. € 3.226,- max. € 5.090,-). Free access to opportunities for professional growth and career development through training programs for research, valorization, and professional development A gross monthly salary and benefits in accordance with the Collective Labor Agreement for Dutch Universities. A broad package of fringe benefits (including an excellent technical infrastructure, moving expenses, and savings schemes). Family-friendly initiatives are in place, such as an international spouse program, and excellent on-campus children day care and sports facilities.
