Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2)

Country: France

Application Deadline: 30 Jun 2025 - 23:59 (UTC)

Type of Contract: Temporary

Job Status: Full-time

Hours Per Week: 35

Offer Starting Date: 1 Sep 2025

Offer Description

The postdoctoral researcher (M/F) recruited will be involved in a research project supported by the Jean-Marie LEHN Foundation. He/she will be responsible for conducting studies and characterisation of peptide-based coacervates. The researcher will lead multiple projects in this field and supervise PhD students and/or M2/M1 interns.

• Study the parameters controlling peptide coacervation processes
• Characterise liquid-liquid phase separation using various analytical tools

The researcher will join the Charles Sadron Institute (ICS), which hosts 53 researchers and teacher-researchers, 38 engineers, technicians, administrative staff, and around 100 doctoral students, postdocs, and interns. Located in Cronenbourg, the ICS is a 'Clean Unit' (UPR 22) of the CNRS, associated with the CNRS Institute of Chemistry (INC), and collaborates closely with the Institute of Physics (INP) and the Institute of Engineering and Systems Sciences (INSIS). It is also linked with the University of Strasbourg, INSA Strasbourg, UFR de Physique et Ingénierie, ECPM, and the Faculty of Chemistry, and participates in several national and international research networks.

The institute is structured into seven research teams and four platforms. The Cronenbourg campus is accessible via public transport and offers amenities such as a university restaurant, eco-friendly parking, beehives, a flower meadow, an orchard, communal tables, and bicycle storage.

Required Knowledge and Skills

• Strong understanding of organic chemistry and peptide synthesis
• Proficiency in chemical synthesis techniques and characterisation of soft matter (hydrogels and liquids)
• Operational mastery of confocal and optical microscopy
• Knowledge of molecular, macromolecular, and supramolecular chemistry, including chemical and enzymatic catalysis
• Proficiency in written and spoken English at B2 level according to the CEFR
