PostDoc in the synthesis of anion conductive polymer membranes

Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.

PostDoc in the synthesis of anion conductive polymer membranes


For an Empa internal grant at the Laboratory for Functional Polymers, we are searching for a Postdoc.

We are a dynamic research group dedicated to advancing the frontier of materials science, particularly in the field of responsive polymers for energy storage and conversion. Our team comprises interdisciplinary experts who collaborate closely to tackle complex scientific challenges. We are currently seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team and contribute to our cutting-edge research on anion conductive polymer membranes. The project aims to develop an efficient anion exchange polymer membrane with high chemical and thermal stability.

Your responsibilities

  • to design, synthesize, and characterize anion conductive membrane
  • to establish experimental procedures to assess anion conductivity
  • to establish experimental procedures to assess membrane functionality in bipolar membrane electrodialysis
  • to write scientific results and disseminate them at international conferences

Your profile

  • PhD in polymer synthesis
  • Experience with anion conductive membrane and their characterization
  • Out-of-the box and target oriented thinking 
  • Full proficiency in written and oral English
  • Self-motivated, open-minded, and communicative attitude

Our offer

We offer a fully funded 12-months post-doc position at Empa Dübendorf, near Zurich, with the potential for extension.
