About this position
Postdoctoral contract at the Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg (IPCMS), CNRS, France, in the Department of Organic Materials (DMO) in Strasbourg.
The project is focused on metal complexes, circularly polarised luminescence (CPL), chiroptical properties, and the synthesis/characterisation of photoactive ligands and organometallic complexes. The work includes designing new photoactive ligands, synthesising organic heterocyclic ligands, preparing organometallic complexes under inert atmosphere, purifying compounds by chromatography, and characterising products by NMR, MS, FT-IR, UV-Vis, fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, and CPL spectroscopy.
The position is part of the interdisciplinary TORNADO project funded by PEPR LuMa and involves collaboration with a French consortium of 13 research laboratories, 17 research groups, and 2 characterisation platforms. The recruited researcher will work under the supervision of Dr Matteo Mauro and Dr Stéphane Bellemin-Laponnaz.
Eligibility highlights: PhD (or equivalent) in Chemical Sciences or Molecular Chemistry; strong background in synthetic organic and/or organometallic chemistry and optical spectroscopy; ability to work independently in a multidisciplinary and international setting; excellent English communication skills. French is not essential.
Application materials: motivation letter, detailed CV including marks, and contact details for one or two referees.
Deadline: 28 September 2026, 23:59 UTC. Location: Strasbourg, France.
