Postdoc: Microfluidic ECL Platforms for Functionalized Beads

Ecole normale supérieure, Chemistry Dept; Paris; On-site; EUR 35,000 - 45,000; Full time

Job summary

The postdoctoral researcher will join the ElectroNanoBio (ENB) team of UMR CPCV within the Department of Chemistry at École normale supérieure (ENS) in Paris. The project aims to develop electrochemiluminescence-based detection strategies by combining microfluidics, microelectrodes, and functionalized micrometre-sized objects.

The project relies on hydrodynamic trapping of microparticles near electrodes to control light emission under flow.

Qualifications

• PhD in electrochemistry or closely related field and strong experimental research experience.
• Experience in electrochemistry or electrochemiluminescence desirable; skills in microfluidics, microfabrication, optical microscopy, or image processing are valued.
• Independence, experimental rigor, strong analytical skills, and ability to work in a multidisciplinary team.

Responsibilities

• Design, fabricate, and validate microfluidic devices enabling selective trapping of functionalized microbeads.
• Carry out quantitative characterization of electrochemiluminescence under flow conditions.
• Compare experimental results with numerical simulations to understand mass transport and light-generation mechanisms.
