The polymer Research Group (PRG) at the University of New Hampshire
(Durham NH 03824 USA) has an opening for a recent Ph.D. to work on
polymerization kinetics for structured polymers in dispersed phase media. The work will be part of a research program in emulsion polymers newly funded by
a consortium of industrial companies.
The successful candidate will work with the PRG director - Dr Donald C. Sundberg,
a research scientist - Dr Yvon G. Durant, a graduate student and one or more undergraduate students as a team to advance the fundamental understanding of particle morphology control in synthetic latices. The position is available as early as March 1, 1996 has the following requirements;

  1. Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical engineering, or polymer science engineering.
  2. Experience in free radical polymerization kinetics.
  3. Demonstrated ability to develop quantitative models, to write computer programs to solve model equations, and to devise, conduct and analyse experimental investigation. In addition, it would be desirable for candidates to have a solid grounding in polymer physical chemistry (thermodynamics, physical properties, etc) and advanced mathematics (differential calculus, numerical analysis, matrix calculus) and to have some experience in emulsion polymerization. The position carries a competitive salary with fringe benefits
    (health unsurance, etc.) and is available for a period of up to 2.5 years.
    As part of the responsabilities of this position it is expected that the person develops continuous and positive interactions with the industrial consortium representatives, writes scientific papers, and assists in research proposal preparation. Inquiries should be made to professor D.C. Sundberg Dr. Y.G. Durant at the address below (preferrably via e-mail or Fax). Further information concerning the University of New Hampshire, the PRG and its people, and the industrial consortium members will be made available at that time. This search will remain open until the position is filled. The University of New Hampshire is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
