The Kenyon College Chemistry Department seeks qualified applicants for a full-time, post-postbaccalaureate position in the lab of Prof. Getzler. This position is funded through grant from the NSF to study controlled polymer degradation. The immediate goal of our program is synthesis and characterization of linear and cyclic polyesters via ring-opening polymerization of commercially available and novel lactones using coordination compounds. Several novel lactones are in hand on multi-gram scales…
