This postdoctoral project is based at the Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques (CRPG, UMR 7358) in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, within a geoscience research environment linked to the CNRS and the Université de Lorraine. The recruited researcher will join ongoing work in mineralogy and crystallography, with strong interactions across the laboratory and with the crystallography research group (CRM2). The project focuses on the characterization of demantoid garnet samples, including materia...

This postdoctoral project at CNRS focuses on the self-assembly and dynamics of nanoparticles in liquid crystal blue phase matrices . The research aims to understand how inserting nanoparticles can stabilize blue phases, extend their temperature range, and modify their structure and properties. The project is centered on soft-matter physico-chemistry, with particular attention to blue-phase liquid crystals that are attractive for light-based applications such as display technologies because they ...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Laboratoire d'Optique Atmosphérique (LOA) of the University of Lille, within the “Nuages et Rayonnement” team, and is linked to CNRS-associated research activity on atmospheric optics. The project focuses on the optical properties of atmospheric microplastics , a recently identified and still poorly characterized component of atmospheric aerosols. The successful candidate will work on the characterization of these particles through experimental measurem...

This postdoctoral project is based in the Physique team of the Institut d’Electronique, de Microélectronique et de Nanotechnologie (IEMN, UMR 8520) in Villeneuve d’Ascq , within a multidisciplinary research environment at CNRS. The successful candidate will study the electronic and optical properties of HgTe or HgSe nanocrystals as part of a multi-partner effort to develop mid-infrared light sources . The work combines theory and numerical simulation to support experimental and technological stu...

This postdoctoral project is based at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP) in Toulouse, France, within the PS2E stellar physics / exoplanet group . The work is carried out in the framework of the SPIRou scientific consortium, coordinated locally by Drs JF Donati and C Moutou . The research focuses on stellar and planetary formation , with an emphasis on low-mass pre-main-sequence T Tauri stars . The project uses observations obtained with the near-infrared spectropol...

[Competition-funded dual award PhD under the UoM-Peking University scheme; funding information is referenced on the dedicated dual-award page.] This PhD studentship is part of the Manchester–Peking dual award scheme and focuses on the synthesis and characterisation of new actinide–ligand multiple bonds, with uranium and thorium chemistry at the centre of the project. Building on preliminary results with a new ligand class in f-element chemistry, the student will work toward unprecedented bonding...

This PhD project explores single-molecule nanophotonics and plasmonics through the use of metallic nanocavities, metasurfaces and two-dimensional materials to confine light and enhance light–matter coupling at the nanoscale. The research focuses on detecting and spectroscopically analysing mid-infrared signatures of individual molecules. Molecular vibrations provide chemical fingerprints, while molecular frequency upconversion converts absorbed mid-infrared photons into visible photons that can ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in AI and machine learning for chemical reactions and automation. The position is based in the Center for Molecular Biophysics within the Biosciences Division at ORNL in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The researcher will develop and apply multimodal deep-learning models that integrate experimental spectroscopy, molecular structures, reaction conditions, and molecular-simulation results. The goal is to improve understanding of chem...

The Battery Science Branch at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to help pioneer next-generation energy storage technologies for Army operations. The project sits within the Electrolyte and Interface Science Team and targets foundational problems in battery safety, ultra-high-energy-density cell chemistries, and supply-chain resilience for systems that must function in extreme environments. The successful researcher will design, synthesize, ...
