A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Paul Ragogna at The University of Western Ontario (http://publish.uwo.ca/~pragogna/) and will commence in January 2018 (or agreed upon start date). This position involves the preparation, characterization and application of polymer networks that contain phosphorus as a key building block in the material (see for example Chem. Mater. 2015, 27, 1412–1419). The emphasis of the project will be in preparing derivatives and to assess their physical properties and toxicity levels.
