Position Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist to join an interdisciplinary National Research Foundation’s Investigatorship (NRFI) programme focused on next-generation circular plastic materials enabled by reconfigurable covalent linkage engineering. The successful candidate will conduct hands‑on experimental research in monomer/linker design, polymer synthesis, dynamic network formation, materials characterisation, and recycling studies, with emphasis on recyclable/reprocessable thermosets. The role will contribute to high‑impact publications, technology disclosures, patents, and application validation with industrial partners.
Key Requirements
- PhD in Polymer Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Organic Chemistry, or a closely related field.
- Strong experimental background in polymer synthesis, dynamic covalent chemistry, thermoset networks, or recyclable polymer materials.
- Solid understanding of polymer structure-property relationships, cross‑linked network design, and materials performance evaluation.
- Hands‑on experience with characterisation of circular polymers, and/or adhesive or composite testing.
- Track record of high‑quality peer‑reviewed publications, patents, or technology disclosures in polymer chemistry or advanced materials.
- Experience in recyclable composites, debondable adhesives, fibre‑reinforced polymers, or translational materials research is an advantage.
- Ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams and communicate research outcomes to scientific, programme‑management, and industry audiences.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and synthesise monomers, dynamic crosslinkers, and polymer networks incorporating reconfigurable covalent linkages.
- Develop recyclable, reprocessable, and repairable thermoset and polyurethane systems with targeted mechanical, thermal, and chemical performance.
- Establish structure-property-process relationships through systematic formulation, network tuning, and performance evaluation.
- Perform thermal, mechanical, rheological, spectroscopic, degradation, and recycling characterisation of polymer materials.
- Support application‑oriented validation in recyclable composites, such as carbon‑fibre‑reinforced polymer matrices, and circular adhesives.
- Investigate recycling, reprocessing, depolymerisation, monomer recovery, and materials recovery under practically relevant conditions.
- Work with modelling, AI, or data teams to structure experimental datasets and enable chemistry‑informed design of circular polymer systems.
- Prepare technical reports, manuscripts, invention disclosures, patent filings, and presentations for internal reviews and external stakeholders.
Competencies
- Critical Thinking
- Agility
- Displays clear understanding of the proposed field of study
- Management Skills (People and Project)
