The Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden is a non-university research institute and a member of the Leibniz Association. It has gained world-wide reputation for its application-oriented basic research on new polymer materials for future technologies, e.g. in the fields of energy, mobility, health, sustainability, and communication, and it supports the transfer of research results into application. The research work is carried out on the basis of state-of-the-art technical equipment in interdisciplinary cooperation between the five institutes of the IPF and embedded in numerous national and international cooperations. The IPF promotes young scientists and is certified as a family-friendly employer according to the Audit berufundfamilie®. The institute currently employs around 500 persons.

In this context, the activities of the research group ThieleLab focus on the buildup of functionality, stimuli-sensitivity and adaptivity in polymer materials starting on the nanoscale by synthesizing multifunctional monomers and macromers. Followed by processing this material basis via microfluidics, microscopic polymer structures come to life. To extend the control over interaction and communication in polymer structures towards the meso- and macroscale, the ERC project “3DPartForm” focuses on a novel additive material design strategy that includes processing and assembling individual polymer building blocks with an intrinsic set of functions and properties into true 4D polymer multimaterials.
The research group ThieleLab of is offer a
PhD position in ERC project (m/f/d)
Development of interactive polymer materials by controlled assembly of microscopic building blocks
Here, a PhD position (m/f/d) is open to develop functional microscopic building blocks and construct as well as apply processing platforms for these. It will be of particular interest that these building blocks can be later assembled into mechanically stable hierarchical structures that are not simply static, but able to guide, process and manipulate information based on light, electric charges or diffusion and thus set up communication schemes across scale.
To tackle these challenges, the successful candidate is trained in polymer chemistry, macromolecular chemistry or organic chemistry. Process engineering or hands-on experience in machine construction is a plus.
Salary: According to German pay grade TV-L EG 13
Terms: 65% of the full-time weekly hours
Starting date: as soon as possible
Duration: until 31.03.2025
