Le Mans Université in France is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in plasmonics and SERS (surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) within the national collaborative project PACTE (PEPR LUMA) . The project focuses on developing an orthogonal catalysis strategy by using plasmonic effects to enhance catalysis performance and light polarization to control and switch chemical reactions. The postdoc will work on anisotropic nanostructures as plasmonic platforms and catalyst supports, with a strong emph...

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, offers a PhD position focused on in situ neutron diffraction for green steel and functional metal oxides. The successful candidate will join the diffraction group at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), working with powder diffractometers D1B and D20, which are specialized for time-resolved in situ investigations of solids, phase transitions, and chemical reactions. The project centers on elucidating reaction pathways for hydro...

University of Virginia is advertising two postdoctoral positions in heterogeneous catalysis within the Department of Chemical Engineering, under the direction of Professors Ayman Karim and Bill Epling . The research includes two related project areas: (1) selective bond activation on supported metal single atoms and subnanometer clusters , with emphasis on catalyst synthesis, kinetic measurements, and characterization using in-situ techniques such as calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray...

PhD opening at CNRS / Université Grenoble Alpes in the Department of Molecular Chemistry (DCM) , within the EMPRe team in Saint-Martin-d’Hères, France. The project focuses on molecular chemistry , electrochemistry , coordination chemistry , and cobalt catalysts for proton reduction and CO2 reduction . The thesis aims to develop tetra-aza macrocyclic Schiff-base ligands incorporating a pyridyldiimine motif, with second-sphere functionalization to improve catalytic efficiency, selectivity, and rob...
