We welcome applications from motivated individuals with a background in materials science, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or related fields, and an interest in polymer synthesis, mechanics, and materials design.

For prospective PhD students, the next intake will be in August 2027. Interested applicants should email matthew.tanwm@ntu.edu.sg with their CV and a brief cover letter outlining their research interests and relevant experience.

We have one Research Fellow opening. (Polymer Design and Mechanical Properties).

Job Requirements: PhD in Material Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics or a related field. Strong background with experimental characterization of polymer materials, including mechanical testing, rheology, and structural analysis. Experience in polymer synthesis or preparation.

Experience in chemical modification of fillers for composites is an advantage. Experience with controlled polymerization techniques (e.g. RAFT, ATRP), molecular weight characterization (e.g. GPC/SEC), and rheological analysis (e.g. time–temperature superposition) is an advantage.

Candidates are welcome to reach out to discuss potential opportunities.
