About this position

Master 2 research project at the Laboratoire d'innovation moléculaire et applications (LIMA - UMR 7042), University of Strasbourg, France, on reductive defunctionalization and transfer by molecular electrocatalysis.

The project is hosted in the MeCSE team (Molecular ElectroCatalysis for Synthesis and Energy) with Dr. Nicolas Kaeffer. The research focuses on electroreductive metallacyclic strategies for hydrodefunctionalizations, especially hydrogenative deoxygenation of organic unsaturations using transition metal complexes as electrocatalysts.

Students will develop practical skills in molecular synthesis (organic and coordination complexes), identification methods (NMR, GC, MS), electrochemistry of molecular compounds (voltammetry, electrolysis, spectroelectrochemistry), and organometallic reactivity. The project also includes presenting scientific results in team seminars and writing a project report.

Applicants should send a CV, cover letter, BSc-MSc transcripts, and the contact details of two references to Dr. Nicolas Kaeffer by email. Deadline: 30 October 2026.
