Missions
The objective of this project is the development of catalysts for reactions of particular interest like amidation. With this project we want to investigate the influence of synthesis procedure and composition on the structural characteristics, hence catalytic properties. From the gained knowledge, we will be able to control and tailor the critical properties in order to enhance activity, selectivity and stability. There will also be a focus on the establishment and understanding of the reaction pathway.
Activités
- Synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts
- characterization of the catalysts (XRD, ICP, XPS, TEM)
- amidation reactions in liquid phase under high pressure
- development of analytical method for the analysis of the products during the reaction
- catalysis optimization through coupling of characterization with the observed catalytic response
- Establishment of reaction pathway
Compétences
The candidate must have a PhD in heterogeneous catalysis and less than 18 months of post-doctoral experience
The candidate should be able to:
- conduct a research project by himself
- write publications
- present the project and the results obtained
He/she should be enthusiastic, organized.
Contexte de travail
The Institute of Research on Catalysis and Environment of LYON (IRCELYON) is located in Villeurbanne (France). It is one of the largest European laboratories dedicated to heterogeneous catalysis. Structured in 5 teams supported by an analytical platform, IRCELYON's activities focus on sustainable development with major concerns for energy, environment and green chemistry. The postdoctoral fellow will work in the C'Durable team: https://www.ircelyon.univ-lyon1.fr/team/cdurable/
Le poste se situe dans un secteur relevant de la protection du potentiel scientifique et technique (PPST), et nécessite donc, conformément à la réglementation, que votre arrivée soit autorisée par l'autorité compétente du MESR.
