Job Details

Participation of groups that are underrepresented in the STEM disicplines is essential to the health and vitality of science and engineering. The NSF Center for Sustainable Polymers (http://csp.umn.edu) is dedicated to broadening the participation of underrepresented groups in the sciences, and to that end welcomes applications for Postdoctoral Fellows for Underrepresented Groups in the Sciences. 

Applicants will need to indicate which CSP investigator they would like to work with in their cover letter, and therefore could be placed at the University of Minnesota, University of California, Berkeley, Cornell University, Northwestern University, University of Chicago, University of South Dakota, or Washington University in St. Louis.

Applicants must have completed their PhD by the start of the fellowship, and identify as an underrepresented minority in the sciences (e.g. female, genderqueer, transgender, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Native American or Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, bisexual, gay, lesbian, queer, have a disability, or a veteran of the US Armed Forces, Reserves, or National Guard). All applicants are welcome to apply. More information on the application process is here: https://csp.umn.edu/postdoc-fellow/

Fellowship recipients will be employed as full-time postdoctoral researchers in order to pursue basic research in fulfillment of the CSP mission.

Company

The Center for Sustainable Polymers (CSP) integrates sustainability issues that focus on the science and technology of polymeric materials into research, education, and public outreach initiatives. Members of the center concentrate their research efforts on harnessing the renewable, functional, degradable and non-toxic ingredients provided by Nature for tomorrow's advanced plastics, foams, adhesives, elastomers, coatings and other macromolecular materials. To foster innovation the CSP partners with numerous companies that develop, implement, and advance technologies in the sustainable polymer industry. In addition to the research mission of the CSP, members also foster outreach activities to educate future scientists and the public about the science and technology of sustainability.
