Description du poste

Offer Description

The postdoctoral researcher will be part of the IP² team at the Charles Sadron Institute (Strasbourg, France). He or she will be responsible for synthesizing functional polymers for the production of hybrid nanoparticles. He or she will work under the supervision of Dr. M. Vauthier and Prof. C. Serra. The project is part of the fight against theft in stores.

Responsibilities

• Synthesis and functionalization of polymers
• Microfluidics
• Qualify objects produced using characterization or analysis methods (NMR, DSC, FTIR, DLS)
• Obtain films from nanoparticles
• Conduct experiments according to specifications
• Interpret, exploit, and present results

Institutional Context

This project is a collaboration between an industrial partner and the Charles Sadron Institute (ICS, UPR22). The successful candidate will join the CSC, a CNRS unit associated with the University of Strasbourg. This multidisciplinary institute dedicated to the science of polymers and self‑assembled systems comprises 55 researchers and research professors, 38 engineers, technicians, and administrative staff, and approximately 100 non‑permanent staff (doctoral students, post‑docs, associate researchers, and interns). Structured into seven research teams and four platforms, the CSC has UV‑Vis and IR spectroscopy platforms, size exclusion chromatography, light scattering, etc., and microscopes (electron and atomic force). Located on the Cronenbourg Campus, it benefits from a CROUS university restaurant and is easily accessible by public transport (tram, bus). The successful candidate will work in the CSC's Polymer Engineering and Process Intensification (IP2) team, which is made up of six teacher‑researchers and several doctoral students and engineers. The position is in a sector subject to the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST) and therefore, in accordance with regulations, requires your arrival to be authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.

Qualifications

• Experience in polymer synthesis
• Experience in the production of nanomaterials using microfluidics
• Ability to work rigorously, independently, and as part of a team
• Knowledge of standard safety rules for handling and synthesizing chemicals
