Postdoc Opportunities in Chemistry in France

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 optimi...

CNRS, at the Institut Pprime site on the Futuroscope campus in Poitiers, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ANR MAFIA project. The project brings together academic partners in France, including IC2MP, Institut Pprime, and ICMCB in Bordeaux, together with industrial partner Sunergy, around innovative zinc-air battery architectures and electrochemical energy conversion. The postdoctoral work focuses on the development of state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopy methods to cha...

The Institut des Sciences de la Terre in Grenoble is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ANR NaturaLDH project, focused on the composition of natural layered double hydroxides and their role in the alteration of mantle rocks. The postdoctoral work centers on developing an analytical protocol for natural layered double hydroxides using anion exchange and ion chromatography, then applying that protocol to natural samples to determine their composition and the conditions under which they f...

This postdoctoral position in the StratifyAging project at Université de Bordeaux focuses on modelling clinical phenotypes of brain diseases from large-scale neuroimaging data. The recruited researcher will work on predictive approaches across several cohorts, including Trois-Cités , Memento and UK Biobank , and will also contribute to meta-analyses involving additional international cohorts. The project combines methodological development with applied biomedical analysis. A key part of the role...

This postdoctoral position is based at ESPCI Paris – PSL within the Laboratoire Gulliver (UMR 7083) . The project focuses on exploring biochemical reaction networks that can process information, with an emphasis on carrying out distributed algorithms related to graph theory . The successful candidate will join a research environment that combines experimental biology with broader questions in information processing through molecular systems. The work described in the advert is hands-on and resea...

This postdoctoral project is centered on the direct conversion of CO2 into liquid fuels through a Fischer-Tropsch-based route. The research addresses a major challenge for low-carbon transport: transforming captured carbon dioxide and hydrogen from renewable electricity into synthetic fuels that can fit existing infrastructure and fleets. The position is hosted at IMT Mines Albi-Carmaux and is part of a collaborative effort involving two laboratories, RAPSODEE in Albi and LCC in Toulouse . The w...

This post-doctoral project at Université de Limoges focuses on using artificial intelligence to optimize the formulation of geopolymer-based coatings for antennas. The research aims to combine experimental synthesis and characterization data with data-driven modelling to better understand how input variables such as chemical composition and synthesis conditions influence the final material properties. The successful researcher will develop an AI algorithm for formulation and property prediction,...

This postdoctoral position at Université Côte d'Azur is part of a project on how microbial ecosystems can alter rocks under conditions reminiscent of the early Earth. The work is centered on geomicrobiology, with a strong interface between microbial ecology, geochemistry, and astrobiology. The project builds on an existing experimental platform developed at the CEREEP ECOTRON Île-de-France , where rock-weathering reactors reproduce Archean-like conditions. These experiments compare sterile react...

This position is based at ENVT and is attached to the PRISM-E2 project within UMR 1225 , working in connection with the scientific staff of the VIRAL team. The recruited researcher will contribute to the development of early warning approaches for pathogen detection in fish farming, with a strong focus on viruses and metagenomic high-throughput detection . The work includes designing and optimizing sampling strategies, including environmental sampling, to improve early detection in aquaculture s...
