Postdoctoral position in chemistry available for 24 months at the University of Brest, within the COSM team at CEMCA (UMR CNRS 6521), Brest, France. The project focuses on functional macrocyclic chelators for imaging mass cytometry (IMC). IMC combines antibody-based detection with metal isotope labels to map many biological markers on tissue sections with high spatial precision. This project aims to expand the number of usable detection channels by designing new bifunctional chelators able to st...

About this position

MSCA-funded PhD opportunity in coordination chemistry is available at Université de Toulouse (LCC-CNRS), France, in collaboration with the University of Calabria, Italy. The project investigates rare earth element selectivity of peptide-based ligands using advanced spectroscopy and computational modelling.

The research will be conducted in Dr. Enrico Falcone’s group at the Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry, with Prof. Mario Prejanò. Relevant methods include luminescence spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, molecular dynamics (MD), and density functional theory (DFT). The position is suited to applicants interested in rare earth elements, peptide-based ligand design, coordination chemistry, molecular modelling, and spectroscopic characterization.

Applicants must have completed a Master’s degree by the deadline and should have experience in spectroscopy and/or computational modelling. MSCA mobility eligibility requires that applicants have not been resident in France for more than 12 months during the 36 months before recruitment.

The position is MSCA-funded, with a planned start date of 1 September 2027. Applications are due by 23 November 2026 at 12:00 PM CET. For application guidance, contact [email protected] and consult the official vacancy instructions.

Funding details

The PhD position is funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). No stipend amount or specific tuition coverage details are provided.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Master's degree by the deadline. Experience in spectroscopy, particularly luminescence and/or NMR, and/or computational modelling, particularly molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT), is required or strongly preferred. Applicants must not have been resident in France for more than 12 of the 36 months before recruitment, consistent with MSCA mobility eligibility.

How to apply

Apply before 23 November 2026 at 12:00 PM CET. The post provides the contact email [email protected]; consult the official vacancy or MSCA application instructions for submission details.
