About this position

This postdoctoral project focuses on the molecular-scale structural description of the conductive polymer complex PEDOT:PSS, whose organization remains debated in the scientific literature. The research aims to adapt cryo-TEM structural reconstruction approaches developed in structural biology to a chemistry and polymer-science context.

The selected researcher will work on high-resolution cryo-TEM datasets to identify structures in micrographs, select objects according to morphology, and optimize image-processing parameters to obtain quality 2D class averages. The workflow then combines image analysis with comparative X-ray scattering checks, before moving toward a quasi-atomic 3D reconstruction and structural refinement informed by SAXS-WAXS data and the existing literature on PEDOT:PSS.

The project is exploratory and innovative, applying established cryo-TEM image-reconstruction methods to polymers rather than biomolecules. The material is a reference conducting polymer used in energy-related applications, bioelectronics, and biomedical contexts, making the structural insights potentially valuable across both academic and industrial domains.

The work will be carried out in the SYFOS team (Systèmes Fonctionnels Structurés), one of the seven teams of the Institut Charles Sadron. The institute is a CNRS research institute associated with the University of Strasbourg and recognized internationally for macromolecular science and self-assembled systems. The team brings together expertise in conjugated polymers, self-assembly, image processing, 3D structural reconstruction, and cryo-TEM.
