Position Opening - position filled -

We are seeking applications for a

post-doctoral position (1 year)

in the field of modular polymer conjugation, to be filled immediately. Applicants with a very strong synthetic polymer background and a demonstrated publication track record in high impact journals are invited to apply. Applications must include a CV, a complete publication list as well as two detailed academic reference letters, one of which must come from the PhD supervisor.

Please send your application to

projects@macroarc.de

macroarc is searching for a "vertiefungsstudent" to work in an

exciting field of polymer chemistry!

- position filled -

please contact dr. anja goldmann for further details.

check out our latest publication with the du prez group:

limitations of radical thiol-ene reactions for polymer-polymer conjugation

follow-up on otto!

otto, the first macroarc baby (see our newsarchive) is fascinated by carbohydrate chemistry.

however, polymer chemistry is shifting more and more into the center of his activities...

the

meeting in houffalize took place on 17th and 18th of september

we look forward to the next belgian-german meeting

visit of the schubert group from jena and eindhoven

an exciting day with talks from both groups and many discussions

Congratulations to Nina and Sebastian

the first MacroArc Baby (Otto Sinnwell) was born on Sunday,
the 16th of November 2008 !
Congratulations from the entire team !

Highly motivated diploma student sought
to work on the synthesis of block copolymers via living polymerization techniques. This diploma thesis entails a stay at the University of Marseille in their polymer chemistry department (Prof. Denis Bertin, Dr. Didier Gigmes and Dr. Cathy Lefay).

Enquieries most welcome

macroarc goes TV!

HIwi wanted

for the upcoming wintersemester to work on

pulsed laser polymerization

interested students with a highly marked vordiplom can apply

a background in polymer chemistry is not strictly required

open post-doc position to fill immediatly

on controlled/living polymerization in an industrial collaboration
