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 position is based in the Department of Flexible Electronics (FEL) at the Centre Microélectronique de Provence, within Ecole nationale supérieure des mines de Saint-Etienne. The role sits at the intersection of research, innovation, and training, with a strong focus on flexible and stretchable electronics for autonomous systems. The successful candidate will work on the design of complete systems, from sensors through to communication modules, taking into account energy and environmental con...

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,...
