Your position
The overall aim of this project is to synthesize stimuli-responsive copolymers and self-assemble them in synthetic assemblies at the nanoscale (nanoparticles, vesicles) that will be able to change their properties (shape, permeability, size) upon the presence of specific stimuli. The synthesis of these block copolymers will be adapted to control the properties of the synthetic assemblies as function of the specificity of the external stimulus (pH change, fluctuation of temperature, or the presence of reducing agents).
The PostDoc will use various polymerization techniques to synthesize a platform of amphiphilic block copolymers, study their capability to self-assemble in aqueous solution and characterize these synthetic assemblies by specific physical chemistry methods. Then, the PostDoc will evaluate the overall stability and the change of properties upon the presence of specific stimuli. The stimuliresponsive assemblies will be equipped with “active molecules” to support applications in drug delivery, water purification or biosensing.
The highly interdisciplinary project will allow you to gain valuable experience in the domain of copolymer synthesis, colloidal chemistry and nano-materials development. More information on the topics of the group in which you will be working can be found at http://palivan.chemie.unibas.ch/en and http://meier.chemie.unibas.ch/en .
