Development of Stimuli-Responsive Molecules and Networks Thereof for Naval Applications
Naval Research Laboratory, DC, Chemistry
The researcher shall perform basic and early-applied research in the areas of organic chemistry and polymeric materials. Specifically, the researchers will synthesize novel molecules with stimuli-responsive triggers, characterize these molecules using a variety of analytical techniques, fabricate and characterize stimuli-responsive crosslinked networks (e.g. coatings, 3D-printed objects), then determine the kinetics and mechanism of network degradation upon treatment with a variety of stimuli.
Awardees who reside more than 50 miles from their host laboratory and remain on tenure for at least six months are eligible for paid relocation to within the vicinity of their host laboratory.
A group health insurance program is available to awardees and their qualifying dependents in the United States.
