About this position
Université d'Angers in France is advertising a Postdoctoral Researcher position in the MOLTECH-Anjou Laboratory funded by the ERC StG 2023 PhotoFreeze project.
The project, titled Light-Frozen Dynamic Covalent Synthesis of Electron-Deficient Conjugated Materials, sits at the intersection of organic chemistry, organic electronics, dynamic covalent chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and pi-conjugated materials. The research aims to develop stimuli-sensitive dynamic covalent methodologies to prepare mono- and multidimensional n-type conjugated materials, including linear, twisted, and helical nanographenes, nano-hoops, macrocycles, and 2D/3D networks.
The work will involve mostly organic synthesis, followed by optoelectronic characterization and potentially organic electronics device-related studies. The laboratory emphasizes functional organic materials and is equipped for design, characterization, and device integration.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in Chemistry is required; strong multi-step synthesis, purification, and characterization experience is expected; excellent English communication skills, independence, creativity, and teamwork are important. Experience in supramolecular chemistry, cycloadditions, methodology development, or rylene diimide-based nanostructures is a plus.
Duration: 1 year, potentially renewable for 1 more year. Start date: January 2027 or earlier.
How to apply: Email the supervisor with a single PDF application in English including CV, publication list, research summary, motivation letter, PhD proof, and two references.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry. Strong experience in multi-step synthesis, purification, and characterization of pi-conjugated molecules is required, along with excellent English communication skills, independence, creative thinking, teamwork, and a positive attitude. A good publication track record is expected. Experience in supramolecular chemistry is appreciated, and experience with cycloadditions, synthetic methodology development, rylene diimide-based nanoribbons/nanohoops/helices/macrocycles/oligomers, or organic electronics devices is an asset but not mandatory.
How to apply
Email [email protected] with the subject line 'Postdoc Application ERC StG PhotoFreeze'. Attach a single English PDF containing a detailed CV with publications, a 1–2 page research summary, a short motivation letter, proof of PhD diploma, and contact details for two references. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an online interview.
