About this position
PhD opportunity at Université Paris Cité in plasmon-driven asymmetric photocatalysis, starting in October 2026. The project sits at the intersection of plasmonic nanomaterials, photochemistry, asymmetric catalysis, and materials chemistry, with a strong experimental focus on the design of chiral plasmonic resonators for enantioselective photochemical reactions.
The PhD researcher will work on the colloidal synthesis of chiral nanomaterials, heterogeneous photo-electrocatalysis, and advanced characterization using techniques such as UV–Vis–NIR, IR, circular dichroism, electron microscopy, chiral HPLC, and mass spectrometry. The topic is highly interdisciplinary and combines nanochemistry, photocatalysis, organic chemistry, and functional materials research.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a Master’s degree in Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, or a related field. Prior experience in nanomaterial synthesis and/or heterogeneous photocatalysis is preferred. The post emphasizes strong motivation for experimental work, problem-solving, and collaboration in a dynamic research environment.
Contacts: Miguel Comesaña-Hermo ([email protected]) and Mathieu Branca ([email protected]).
Application window: starting date October 2026. No formal deadline is stated in the post.
