About this position

Postdoctoral position in supramolecular chemistry at the University of Angers / CNRS (MOLTECH-Anjou), in collaboration with TU Dortmund University and Prof. Guido Clever.

The project focuses on the design and synthesis of functional coordination cages combining stimuli-responsiveness, chirality, and molecular recognition. The successful candidate will prepare molecular building blocks, study their metal-directed self-assembly into discrete supramolecular architectures, and investigate structural characterization, host-guest behavior, and responses to external stimuli.

The work will be carried out in Angers, France, with a research stay in Dortmund, Germany. The research environment includes the PulSAr group at MOLTECH-Anjou and access to advanced characterization platforms such as multinuclear and multidimensional NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry, electrochemistry, UV-Vis/fluorescence, electronic circular dichroism, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in chemistry, ideally with a strong background in organic, coordination, or supramolecular chemistry. Experience in organic synthesis and NMR-based structural characterization is especially important. Additional experience in coordination cages, host-guest chemistry, electrochemistry, chiroptical spectroscopy, or stimuli-responsive molecular systems is welcome. Strong English communication skills are expected.

The position is 12 months long. The candidate must have defended the PhD in 2025 or later and be available to start in January 2027. Application deadline: 22 October 2026.

To apply, email a CV with publication list, a cover letter, and contact details for at least two academic referees to [email protected].
