The Institut CARMeN-Caen in France is offering a fully funded PhD position in organic chemistry and chemical biology, focusing on the synthesis of cyclic dinucleotide analogues for the development of novel antimicrobials. The project addresses the urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies due to the rapid rise of antibiotic resistance. Traditional antibiotics often induce bacterial stress responses that promote resistance, so this research aims to identify new modes of action to combat ...

About this position

CNRS Research Director Anton Granzhan is recruiting for an 18-month postdoctoral position in bioorganic chemistry and chemical biology at LCBPT (CNRS – Université Paris Cité, Paris, France).

The project builds on a recent discovery of small molecules that selectively bind DNA three-way junctions and show toxicity against certain cancer cells. The next stage is to design a new generation of macrocyclic TWJ ligands and heterobifunctional probes to investigate how these molecules act in cells.

Suitable candidates should hold a PhD in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, or chemical biology, and have strong synthetic skills. Experience with macrocycle chemistry and/or heterobifunctional molecule synthesis would be an advantage.

The position starts in January 2027 or later. Applications are submitted via the CNRS job portal under reference UMR8601-ANTGRA-005. Review of applications begins on 20 November 2026.

This is a strong opportunity for researchers interested in the interface of organic synthesis, chemical biology, DNA-targeting ligands, and cancer-related molecular mechanisms.

Funding details

An 18-month postdoctoral position is advertised. The post does not specify stipend or additional funding details beyond the contract duration.

What's required

Applicants should have a PhD in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, or chemical biology, with strong synthetic skills. Experience with macrocycle chemistry and/or heterobifunctional molecules is considered a plus. The position starts in January 2027 or later.

How to apply

Apply through the CNRS job portal using reference UMR8601-ANTGRA-005. Informal questions can be sent by email; applications are reviewed starting 20 November 2026.
