About this position
Institute of Molecular Sciences (ISM), University of Bordeaux
This postdoctoral project is part of the Post-Petroleum Materials Research (PPM) Major Program and is hosted at the Institute of Molecular Sciences, where organic chemists and physico-chemists work across molecular design, synthesis, characterization, reactivity, and analysis. The position sits within the Organic Synthesis and Natural Substances (ORGA) research group and connects with the institute’s broader expertise in quantum chemistry, reaction dynamics, spectroscopy, photochemistry, and molecular recognition.
The research focuses on the development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) built from organic aromatic rotaxane monomers. The project lies at the interface of organic chemistry, host-guest supramolecular chemistry, and 2D polymer chemistry. The successful candidate will design and synthesize rigid conjugated macrocycles and molecular axes, prepare monomers derived from organic aromatic rotaxanes, and evaluate host-guest interactions to identify suitable guest species.
The work also includes forming two-dimensional COF materials through polymerization using boroxine or boronate linkages. The postdoctoral researcher will analyze the synthesized compounds and materials using techniques such as NMR, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis, and IR spectroscopy, prepare progress and optimization reports, and contribute to the dissemination of results within the group and through publications.
The project is supervised by Laurent Chabaud at ISM and Fabien Durola at CRPP, and is based in Talence near Bordeaux.

What's required
PhD or equivalent in Organic Chemistry is required. Applicants should have at least 2 years of experience in synthesis and characterization of organic compounds, with proven expertise in multi-step organic synthesis. Proficiency in spectroscopic and analytical characterization techniques (NMR, IR, MS, UV-Vis) is required, along with excellent scientific writing and communication skills. Candidates should be autonomous, able to work in a multidisciplinary team, and proficient in English in a multicultural context. The position is based in France and requires compliance with French working laws; it is located in a restrictive-zone laboratory and may require a pre-hiring investigation taking up to 8 weeks.
