Fixed term contract for 12 months.

Applications are invited for a Research Fellow to work in the BonLab under the supervision of prof.dr.ir. Stefan A. F. Bon. The research project will develop innovative heterogeneous polymerization methods to fabricate nanocomposite supracolloidal structures.

Candidates must have completed (or be soon to complete) a PhD or equivalent in synthetic polymer and/or colloid science. A proven ability in innovative and effective experimental research is essential and you should be skilled in the use of techniques for synthesis and characterization of macromolecules, hybrid materials, and/or colloidal particles. An interest and aptitude for unravelling mechanistic aspects of heterogeneous polymerization processes and assembly of colloidal matter is essential.

You will be able to work independently and as part of a research team, aiding in the supervision of junior research workers. You will have a proven track record of publications, excellent communication and scientific writing skills.
