About this position
CNRS, at the Institut Pprime site on the Futuroscope campus in Poitiers, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ANR MAFIA project. The project brings together academic partners in France, including IC2MP, Institut Pprime, and ICMCB in Bordeaux, together with industrial partner Sunergy, around innovative zinc-air battery architectures and electrochemical energy conversion.
The postdoctoral work focuses on the development of state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopy methods to characterize new electrocatalysts designed for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions. These catalysts combine transition-metal chalcogenide nanoparticles with conductive 2D MXene supports, including titanium- or tantalum-based systems, and their chemistry, structure, morphology, and interfacial interactions will be studied in detail to understand how the two phases work together.
A distinctive part of the project is the use of an electrochemical cell compatible with the JEOL 2200-FS TEM, enabling in situ observation of phase evolution during reaction. The successful candidate will work in close collaboration with the project partners and draw on the long-standing expertise of Institut Pprime and IC2MP in TEM analysis of MXenes, composite nanomaterials, quantitative diffraction, and electron energy loss spectroscopy combined with ab initio simulations.
This position is embedded in a collaborative research environment at the intersection of materials characterization, nanostructured electrocatalysts, and energy storage research.
