Not funded by a EU programme Reference Number ACROSS (ANR) Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer DescriptionJoin the Institute of Molecular Sciences ( ISM ) – of the University of BordeauxISM brings together a community of organic and physical-chemical researchers interested in molecular structures, and working on their design, synthesis, characterization, reactivity and analysis in various environments. The Institute's expertise is based on a number of key skills: theorists in quantum chemistry, molecular and reaction dynamics, synthetic organic chemists, physical-chemical experimentalists (spectroscopy, photochemistry, molecular recognition and analysis), working in 10 research groups and 3 technical platforms.As part of the project Receptors Acridinium for Supramolecular Separations ( ACROSS ), funded by the National Research Agency (ANR) we are recruiting a Post-Doctoral Researcher in Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry W/M.Main activities:The solvophobic effect is a widespread driving force for host-guest chemistry. Like H2O, perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are interesting solvents for the confinement of supramolecular receptors. New poly-acridinium receptors will be confined in PFCs and H2O and exploited for the selective extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from an organic source phase to a receptor phase through a transport phase (PFC or H2O).In this fundamental project, light will be used to drive the selective transport of HAP guests out of balance to enrich the reception phase with the desired solute. Finally, a systematic comparative study between PFC and H2O will allow estimating the enthalpic and entropic contributions of the two solvents in order to rationalize their solvophobic effect.Based on promising preliminary results, poly-acridinium supramolecular receptors confined in PFCs and H2O will be developed to achieve more efficient and selective liquid/liquid purification processes. This project will be implemented in three Work Packages (WPs) and will involve three partners.# Organic SynthesisYou perform multi-step syntheses of supramolecular receptors# Supramolecular chemistryYou characterize interactions at play in supramolecular complexesYou characterize optical and magnetic properties of complexes# PhotoreactivityYou optimize the photocatalytic processYou contribute to the scientific dissemination of results within the research group and through articles.The + of this position: you will work in a field of research that has been largely understudied and is clearly outside the traditional approaches that are currently being developed in supramolecular systems of chemistry applied to purification problems. The expected results should benefit a large audience of researchers (academics and industrialists) and certainly stimulate scientific interest in this field.Where to applyE-mail job-ref-wpzkvyy1ap@emploi.beetween.comRequirementsResearch Field Chemistry Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsHolder of a PhD in Organic Chemistry, you ideally have already worked on organic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry and photoredox chemistry.You are rigorous and autonomous in your workYou are proficient in English (level C1 / B2) in a multicultural work contextIf you recognize yourself, apply quicklySpecific RequirementsYou'll have to comply wiht the Working Law in France.NB: the position is based in a laboratory in the Restrictive Zone, which requires an investigation prior to hiring, which can take up to 8 weeks.Languages ENGLISH Level GoodAdditional InformationGross monthly salary: 2750€50 days of annual leave prorated for the duration of the contract75% of the cost of a Gironde public transport pass coveredContribution to private healthcare insurance of 15€ / monthSubsidised mealsLeisure, sports and cultural activities for all staffDisabled-friendly establishmentPossibility of staff parkingSustainable mobility package for commuting between home and workWelcome programme and training coursesSelection processApplications are reviewed as they arrive.Candidates selected for an interview will be contacted by the Recruitment Officer for a first pre-qualification phone conversation.
