Overview

A&B Smart Materials is an Oxford University–based materials science venture founded by Oxbridge graduates. We are pioneering the next generation of bio-based, biodegradable superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) to replace synthetic SAPs. SAPs are “magic-like” materials that absorb hundreds of times their weight in water. They are used primarily in hygiene (diapers, pads, cosmetics) and agriculture (soil enhancers), representing a $17.6B global market. With new EU regulations banning non-biodegradable SAPs in soils from 2028, there is an urgent demand for sustainable alternatives. We are backed by prestigious investors and are part of the Creative Destruction Lab, the leading accelerator for deep tech ventures. Our work has been recognised globally, including being named a “DeepTech Pioneer” at Hello Tomorrow (2025) and winner of the Cleantech StartUp Award (South East, 2024).

• Analyse and interpret data to optimise SAP performance, absorption capacity, and biodegradability.
• Contribute to intellectual property development, literature reviews, and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with the R&D team to test, validate, and iterate material formulations.
• Support early-stage scale-up and application testing as the technology progresses toward commercialisation.

• PhD in Polymer Chemistry, Biopolymers, Materials Science, or a closely related field.
• 0–2 years’ postdoctoral or industrial experience.
• Strong wet lab experience and familiarity with polymer synthesis, hydrogels, or crosslinked materials.
• A creative and rigorous scientific mindset, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary research environment.

• Has worked on sustainable superabsorbent polymers (SAPs).
• Experience with biopolymers such as cellulose, starch, alginate, or chitosan.
• Previous hydrogel research or formulation experience.
• Exposure to applications in the hygiene (diapers, menstrual pads) or agriculture industries.
• Experience integrating AI or data-driven tools in materials design or optimisation workflows.
• Familiarity with intellectual property (IP) generation or patent preparation.
• Previous involvement in an entrepreneurial or startup environment.
• Competitive compensation package with equity, so you share directly in the company’s success .
• Significant long-term upside as the company scales in a rapidly growing global market.
