Job Description

In the pursuit of a more sustainable future, we are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at Eindhoven University of Technology. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of novel thermosetting polymers for coatings that are more amenable to recycling.

Research Focus

The PhD research will focus on the synthesis of novel thermosetting polymers for coatings that can be recycled via depolymerization mechanisms. This involves the design and synthesis of new monomers, including the use of bio-based raw materials, preparation of thermosets, and elucidation of structure-property relationships.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and synthesis of new monomers for thermosetting polymers
  • Preparation of thermosets and elucidation of structure-property relationships
  • Chemical depolymerization, separation, and recovery of building blocks
  • Proof of concept for closed-loop recycling

Requirements

  • MSc degree in polymer chemistry, organic chemistry, or a related discipline
  • Strong background in polymer and organic chemistry
  • Experience with the synthesis and characterization of polymers or organic molecules
  • Excellent analytical skills, initiative, and creativity
  • Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team and collaborate with industrial partners

What We Offer

  • Full-time employment for four years with an intermediate evaluation after nine months
  • Salary and benefits in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities
  • High-quality training programs and support for professional development
  • Excellent technical infrastructure and on-campus facilities
