PhD in Organic Synthesis and Continuous Flow Chemistry on Carbocation Chemistry (Flash KinC) INSA Rouen Normandie in France

PhD opportunity in organic synthesis and continuous flow chemistry at the CARMeN Institute, Rouen, France.

The project, titled Flash KinC, focuses on carbocation chemistry and flash chemistry / continuous flow chemistry to explore new reactivity pathways and intercept kinetic products from first-formed carbocations. The work is based at the Institut CARMeN (UMR CNRS 6064) in Rouen, within Team 3 (fluorinated biomolecules synthesis).

This PhD is suited to candidates interested in organic synthesis, synthetic chemistry, reaction mechanisms, and flow reactor approaches. The post explicitly states that applicants should have a strong background in organic chemistry and be motivated by synthetic chemistry. A Master’s degree (M2) or engineering degree is required or must be obtained before the PhD starts. Prior experience in continuous flow chemistry is not required.

The position starts in Autumn 2026 / October 2026. The announcement is made by Margaux Riomet (CNRS, Chargée de recherche) and Philippe Jubault (INSA Rouen Normandie / CARMeN Institute).

To apply, send a CV with two referees, a cover letter, and Master’s transcripts to the contacts listed in the post.
