Opis stanowiska
The Programmable Polymers Laboratory, based at the Center for Advanced Technologies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Our ambition is to develop functional materials through innovative polymer science. We’re looking for passionate Post-docs to join our projects: PolyDigit and MimicLS.
PolyDigit Project
The PolyDigit project is an initiative responding to the urgent need for advanced long-term data storage technologies. With the volume of generated data rapidly exceeding the capacity of traditional storage media, this project focuses on analyzing and developing polymers with defined monomer sequences to serve as next-generation data storage media.
MimicLS Project
The MimicLS project explores the precise control of monomer sequences to develop synthetic materials that mimic the complexity and functionality of living matter. This project aims to understand and harness the sequence-regulated self-assembly of polymers to create hierarchical structures with advanced functionalities.
