About this position
A 24-month postdoctoral position is available at Université Grenoble Alpes, France, focusing on advancing molecular CO2 electrocatalysis through metal–metal cooperation. The project aims to develop innovative homo- and heterodinuclear molecular catalysts based on porphyrin and phthalocyanine platforms to promote CO2 reduction beyond current limitations. By exploiting metal–metal cooperativity, the research seeks to enable tandem reactivity, facilitating C–C bond formation and deeper reduction pathways, targeting highly reduced and C2+ products.
The research will involve the design and synthesis of dinuclear macrocyclic ligands, preparation and characterization of multimetallic complexes, electrochemical studies of CO2 reduction, mechanistic investigations (spectroscopic and electrochemical), and immobilization of catalysts on carbon-based materials for heterogeneous applications. The project is carried out in collaboration with an international partner, combining complementary expertise in ligand design and CO2 electrocatalysis.
Applicants must have a PhD in chemistry (inorganic, organometallic, or related fields), experience in coordination chemistry, catalysis, or electrochemistry, and good communication skills in English. Experience in electrocatalysis is an asset. The position offers a competitive salary, full social security coverage, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and support for administrative procedures. Applications should include a CV, motivation letter, and contact details of 2–3 referees, sent to [email protected]. The application deadline is next summer.
Keywords: CO2 reduction, electrocatalysis, multimetallic catalysts, metal–metal cooperativity, C2+ products, porphyrin, phthalocyanine, macrocyclic ligands, catalysis, electrochemistry.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
