Postdoc in Catalysis & Surface Organometallic Chemistry

CNRS; France; On-site; EUR 32,000 - 42,000; Full time

Job summary

CNRS, CNRS Department Catalyse, Polymérisation, Procédés et Matériaux (CP2M) located on the La Doua campus in Villeurbanne, seeks a First Stage Researcher (R1) to advance surface organometallic chemistry and catalysis. The work is part of the ERC DUO project, under the supervision of Dr.

Clément CAMP, with a laboratory fully equipped for catalyst preparation, characterization, and reactivity studies. The team is internationally recognized for its leading expertise in surface organometallic

Qualifications

• Excellent background in molecular chemistry, particularly organic chemistry for substrate scope studies and organometallic chemistry.
• Excellent mastering of techniques for handling compounds under inert atmosphere (Schlenk techniques and glovebox), including the preparation and handling of highly sensitive compounds (e.g., pyrophoric compounds).
• Expertise in catalysis (homogeneous or heterogeneous).
• Expertise in materials characterization techniques (chemisorption, electron microscopy, DRIFTS, solid-state NMR).
• Proficiency in solution-phase characterization techniques (multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, EPR, X-ray absorption and diffraction, elemental analysis, etc.).

Responsibilities

• Surface organometallic chemistry.
• Materials characterization (IR spectroscopy, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, electron microscopy, XAS, XPS, etc.).
• Investigation of the reactivity of these complexes in various C–H activation reactions (monitored by GC/GC–MS and solution NMR): kinetic and selectivity studies (substrate scope).
