About this position

PhD opportunity at Sorbonne University, France in supramolecular chemistry, glycochemistry, and antiviral development.

The position is hosted at the Institut Parisien de Chimie Moléculaire (IPCM), Sorbonne University, within the Organic, Biological Glycochemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry team (GOBS). The project sits at the chemistry-biology interface and aims to design self-assembling β-cyclodextrin systems and new supramolecular inhibitors with activity against respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza.

Research themes include organic synthesis, supramolecular assembly, host–guest interactions, glycochemistry, virology, and antiviral mechanism-of-action studies. The project also involves collaboration with virology and microbiology partners to evaluate antiviral activity and extend the modular strategy to other viral targets.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a Master’s degree in Chemistry, have a strong background in organic synthesis, and show interest in interdisciplinary research. Good English, autonomy, teamwork, rigor, and scientific curiosity are expected. Experience in supramolecular chemistry, glycochemistry, or chemistry-biology interface work is welcome but not mandatory.

Application: send a CV, cover letter, academic transcripts, and, if available, recommendation letters or referee contacts to the supervisors by email. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for interview.

Supervisors: Matthieu Sollogoub and Mickaël Ménand, Sorbonne University.
