Offer Description A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Polymerization Processes Group at the Basque Center for Macromolecular Design and Engineering, POLYMAT Fundazioa ( www.polymat.eu ).

Emulsion polymerization is an industrialized process for the production of polymer latexes that involves a complex, heterogeneous polymerization system and leads to polymers with a diverse range of structures. This project looks to use machine learning to better target polymerization processes and products made from emulsion polymers.

Applicants must have a PhD in chemistry or chemical engineering (or a related discipline) and should have some experience in polymers and mathematical modelling.

Good command of written and spoken English is a must (if preselected, a telephone interview will be carried out before any other appointment is made).

Applications should be addressed to Dr. Nicholas Ballard and sent via email in one single PDF to nicholas.ballard@polymat.eu before the 15th January 2026 (applications will be considered upon arrival) including:

a cover letter highlighting their interest in the position.

a short description of previous research (1-2 Pages).

the names and contact addresses (e-mail) of two academic referees.

Please note that because of the large number of applications expected, we will not be able to give individual feedback to unsuccessful applications.

Where to apply E-mail nicholas.ballard@polymat.eu
