Job Description:
R-NanoLab is looking for a researcher to join its team in the framework of EU-funded projects and contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of polymer chemistry, material science, and sustainability. The position focuses on the chemical synthesis of polymeric materials (including thermoset resins and functional additives) and the development of resin-based formulations for sustainable coatings. Engineering/Scientific background:
-Chemist (BSc/MSc required; PhD preferred)
-Background in organic and polymer chemistry, chemical synthesis of resins and matrix systems.
-Expertise in polymerization processes, designing resins with dynamic covalent or reversible bonding mechanisms, and tailored additive systems.
-Hands-on experience
-Analytical techniques for characterization(e.g. spectroscopy, chromatography, thermal analysis, microscopy)
Requirements:
-At least 2-year proven experience in technical implementation and reporting of EU-funded projects.
-Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both in written and verbal, with the ability to contribute to and support technical discussions
-Comfortable managing multiple tasks and deadlines, with proactive mindset and a strong willingness to learn and contribute to innovation
Job Responsibilities:
-Implementation of EU-funded projects
-Design, synthesis, and optimization of novel resin-composite materials and (sustainable fiber) coatings
-Development of reversible bond resins, polymerization processes, and resin additives
-Planning, organization, and execution of laboratory to pilot-scale experiments
-Detailed interpretation and documentation of experimental results
Location: Athens (Greece), with the necessity of traveling for meetings or events within EU.
What do we offer:
-International working environment.
-Opportunities for continuous learning, skill development and cross-disciplinary experience
-Engaging and stimulating scientific and academic environment
-High level of autonomy and responsibility from early stages.
