About this position
Postdoctoral opportunity in Chemistry, Biology, and Materials Science at the University of Lorraine, France.
The LERMAB laboratory (Laboratory for Studies and Research on Wood Materials) is recruiting a postdoc for the SmartGel-For-Wood project, focused on supramolecular biosourced hydrogels as original formulations for wood preservation treatments. The work is based in Nancy, Grand Est, France, with no business travel and no telework.
The project aims to improve the sustainability of wood protection formulations by reducing copper usage through better retention in wood using a gelling network. Research topics include hemisynthesis of gelators from biosourced compounds, green chemistry, self-assembly and gelling characterization, microscopy of gel structures, copper-based wood treatment formulation, durability and leaching tests, microscopical characterization of treated wood, microbiology/antifungal testing, and ICP analysis of copper in wood samples.
Ideal candidates should have a strong background in organic chemistry, hemisynthesis, and green chemistry, with experience in characterizing self-assembling amphiphilic compounds. Experience in microbiology, antifungal testing, and wood preservation is considered an advantage.
This is a fixed-term 12-month position with a gross annual salary of more than €35,000 and less than €45,000. The application deadline is 2026-08-21, and the starting date is 2026-10-01.
Funding details
