About this position

Post-doctoral fellow position in molecular chemistry at the Institute of Chemical Sciences of Rennes (ISCR), Université de Rennes / CNRS, Rennes, France, within LUMOMAT + France 2030.

The project focuses on water-soluble nanohoops and rigid fluorescent CPP derivatives as a new generation of macrocycles for fluorescence sensing of psychoactive and performance-enhancing drugs. Research topics include design rules for predictable recognition/emission, synthesis of 8 water-soluble derivatives, structural and spectroscopic characterization, water-solubility studies, host-guest encapsulation of drugs, and use as fluorescent sensors.

Potential applications mentioned in the post include therapeutic follow-up of psychotropic/analgesic compounds, real-time sensing in blood/saliva/urine, rapid non-invasive screening for substance abuse, and detection of drug residues in wastewater.

Eligibility highlights: PhD defended within the last 2 years and excellent skills in organic synthesis. Experience in spectroscopy, host-guest studies, and molecular modelling is an asset.

Contract start: between 1 Dec 2026 and 15 Jan 2027. Interested candidates should contact Dr Cyril Poriel and/or Dr Cassandre Quinton directly by email.
