Postdoctoral position available
A postdoctoral position funded by the ANR is available in the groups STeRéO (iSm2) and CROPS (ICR) at Aix Marseille University, France in the field of organic chemistry. The position is for 12 months and opens from January 2019. The program will include fine-tuning of new methods for organic synthesis and their application towards the construction of molecular diversity – both for advancing synthesis and providing semi-conducting polymers (relevant compound for new material industry). The ambition of the project is to extend the array of methods to deliver the benzocyclobutene system. The custom-made benzocyclobutenes, synthesized thanks to this novel approach, will thereafter be used as monomers in a controlled radical polymerization process. A subsequent step should deliver a well-defined π-conjugated system offering semi-conducting properties. The controlled synthesis of these materials should deliver a technical advantage to develop new electronic devices, in particular for organic LED.

A solid background in organic chemistry is required together with analytical characterization is strongly recommended for this position. Experience in radical chemistry and/or polymerisation will be appreciated but not necessary if the candidate knows how to integrate a team and has the enthusiasm and willingness to learn every day. The salary range is 1950-2400 € per month (based on experience) Application should include a cover letter, a detailed CV and a short PhD summary as well as arranging for at least two letters of recommendation to be sent directly to Gaëlle Chouraqui ([email protected]) and Anthony Kermagoret ([email protected]).
