France

This postdoctoral project at the CNRS explores how to control the permeability of water-in-water emulsions stabilized by self-assembled lyotropic phases at the droplet interface. These emulsions, formed from phase separation in aqueous polymer solutions such as PEG and dextran, are attractive for encapsulation and controlled release of hydrophilic molecules without oil or organic solvent. The research sits within the ANR SHEILA project and focuses on making interfacial transport stimulus-respons...

About this position

This postdoctoral project at CNRS focuses on the self-assembly and dynamics of nanoparticles in liquid crystal blue phase matrices. The research aims to understand how inserting nanoparticles can stabilize blue phases, extend their temperature range, and modify their structure and properties.

The project is centered on soft-matter physico-chemistry, with particular attention to blue-phase liquid crystals that are attractive for light-based applications such as display technologies because they can switch faster than conventional liquid crystals. A key scientific challenge is that these phases typically have a narrow temperature window; this position will investigate how gold nanoparticles and magnetic nanoparticles can be used to tune and stabilize them.

The work will involve experimental preparation and characterization of samples, including optical microscopy, optical spectroscopy, and X-ray scattering, with experiments potentially carried out under magnetic fields or optical illumination. The objective is to connect nanoparticle insertion with changes in blue-phase organization and physical behavior.

The position is based in a research group within the surface physico-chemistry team at INSP. The group includes a research director, three doctoral researchers, and several engineers, and the successful candidate will benefit from close support from a final-year doctoral student to learn system handling and experimental procedures.
