About this position
Université Côte d'Azur (Nice, France) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher to work with Prof. Alice Mija at the Institut de Chimie de Nice (CNRS UMR7272). The project focuses on advanced polymer-based materials and composite systems for space applications, with an emphasis on biobased and recyclable materials that can withstand extreme environments.
The research covers polymer science, materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering topics such as synthesis of monomers and polymers, thermoset formulation, carbon fibre-reinforced composites, multifunctional composite materials, fillers/nanoparticles, interface engineering, processing, and mechanical/thermal/thermo-mechanical characterization. A major part of the work concerns ageing, degradation, and durability under simulated space conditions including thermal cycling, vacuum, and radiation.
Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent in a relevant discipline and have 1–4 years of research experience. Strong experience in polymers, composites, advanced materials, characterization, and experimental research is expected. Excellent English and French are required.
The position is full-time and temporary. Applications are submitted by email and should include a CV with publications, cover letter, short research statement, degree certificates, and two referees. Deadline: 1 December 2026. The post is based in Nice, France.
Funding details
Temporary full-time postdoctoral position (36.5 hours/week) funded by the host project; no stipend amount or tuition information is provided.
What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in Polymer Science, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Composite Materials, or a closely related discipline by the starting date.
