New We anticipate the need for two postdoctoral researchers to pursue an exciting project in shape memory medical devices. Experience with either synthesis of biodegradable polymers or biomaterials characterization (particularly blood-contacting materials) is desired. Interested parties should e-mail Dr. Mather. New Color-changing Shape Memory Polymers. Our collaboration with Dr. Weder on color-changing SMPs has hit the press! Click here for the write up in RSC's Chemical Sciences, including a link to the paper. MOVED! Prof. Mather has accepted the position of Milton and Ann Stevenson Professor of Biomedical and Chemical Engineering at Syracuse University and will be transferring there in September 2007, along with multiple group members. At Syracuse University, Mather has launches the new Syracuse Biomaterials Institute. Filled Postdoctoral Opening. An immediate postdoctoral opening exists in the area of liquid crystalline elastomers. The project is in collaboration with Peter Palffy-Muhoray at Kent State University and involves synthesis and characterization of LCEs using proven and emerging methods. Interested parties should send their CV to Dr. Mather at ptmather@syr.edu.
