Highlights:
1. LC Vision, LLC, a small, privately held company focused on the research and development of liquid crystals and LC related technologies for the display industry.
2. We are currently searching for a Postdoctoral associate to work on a project concerning the development of new LC additives to enhance LC display performance.
3. A Postdoctoral position is available under the supervision of Dr. Michael Wand. The successful candidate will participate in an interdisciplinary project focused on the synthesis and evaluation of liquid crystal monomers and polymers for LC display applications.
4. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with extensive experience in synthetic organic chemistry. Specific experience in liquid crystals and their physical and electro-optic evaluation is highly desirable but not a requirement.
5. The candidate will be responsible for the design and synthesis of nematic and ferroelectric liquid crystals that will be attached to specific polymer backbones. The LC-polymer dopants will then be characterized and formulated into various liquid crystal hosts with the goal of improving LC display performance.
6. The duties will include design, synthesis and evaluation of new compounds, formulation of LC mixtures, and optimization of LC-polymer systems for use in displays.
7. The successful candidate must be independent in the design of synthetic routes, solving challenging synthetic problems, efficient in synthesizing targeted molecules, as well as analyzing the results and SAR data to improve the physical and electro-optic properties of the synthesized compounds.
8. The applicant needs to be knowledgeable and experienced in using HPLC, NMR, IR, and GC-MS. They will be a part of an interdisciplinary academic and commercial team whose research is focused on the development of successful LC-polymer blends for use in commercial LCDs ranging from PDA size up to TV Display applications.
9. Applicant must have PhD in organic chemistry, Materials Science, or related field.
10. Excellent oral and written communication skills in English are required, with a demonstrated ability to write and submit proposals. Monthly reports are expected Additional expertise in small angle x-ray analysis, polymer synthesis, software programming in C++, C#, and LabView, LC electro-optic evaluation, would be a plus.
11. Please submit motivation letter, CV, and contact information for 3 references combined into one file to the address below:
