About this position
IMT Nord Europe is advertising a PhD thesis in sensors based on conductive polymers and carbon quantum dots for organophosphate detection. The project sits in the CERI EE department and the OSPA research area, with a workplace in Douai, Hauts-de-France, France.
The research focuses on chemiresistive sensors, conductive polymers, carbon quantum dots, printed electronics, and environmental sensing. The goal is to develop high-performance hybrid materials and eco-friendly ink formulations for rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective detection of organophosphorus compounds. The work combines materials design, formulation, thin-film deposition, morphological/structural/electrical characterization, and sensor testing under controlled conditions.
The PhD candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment at the interface of materials science, chemistry, nanotechnology, and printed electronics. The posting also mentions a possible research stay in Milan, Italy, through collaboration with the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche SCITEC.
Funding: public funding alone. The position is a PhD contract for 36 months, starting 2026-10-01.
Eligibility highlights: Master’s degree or equivalent in Materials Science, Polymer Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, or a related field; knowledge of polymer formulation and characterization; interest in conductive polymers, sensors, and thin-film deposition; good English, and preferably French as well.
Deadline: 2026-08-31.
