Job Summary

This role involves supporting cutting-edge research in polymer and fiber composite development at one of Europe's largest textile research institutions. The successful candidate will primarily focus on chemical synthesis and analysis, particularly of polymers, within a laboratory and technical center environment. Key responsibilities include performing complex physical-chemical and instrumental analysis (such as GPC, GC, IR, NMR, and thermal analysis), conducting material testing on fibers and composites, and independently managing, executing, and documenting experiments. The position requires a highly organized, self-motivated individual with a background as a Chemical-Technical Assistant (CTA) and strong technical comprehension. This is an excellent opportunity to work in an attractive, interdisciplinary setting, contributing to industry-relevant research in areas like flame-retardant and bio-based polymers, with the potential for a permanent contract after the initial two-year term.
