Missions

This project is part of our research program dedicated to the development of new methodologies by means of transition metal catalysis for the remote functionalization of molecules. A strong emphasis will be paid on the direct functionalization of unactivated C-H bonds and to build up fluorinated scaffolds. The postdoctoral fellow will be in charge of the experimental work, analysis (NMR, HPLC…), the writing of scientific reports and will take benefit from an international research environment.

Activités

Development of original methodologies in order to tackle key synthetic challenges:
experimental work
analysis (NMR, HPLC…)
writing of scientific reports and publications

Compétences

The candidate should have a Ph.D. in organic chemistry. He or she will have a strong background in organic synthesis especially in the development of new methodologies. A background in organometallic chemistry, in homogenous catalysis and in supramolecular chemistry would be an asset (but not mandatory). We are looking for a dedicated, experienced and highly motivated candidate. Moreover, the candidate should have good communication skills and a good team spirit.

Contexte de travail

The post-doctoral fellow will work in the “Synthesis of Fluorinated Biomolecules” group (UMR 6064 CARMeN Institute-CNRS), headed by Professor Jubault. The group, which includes 6 permanent staffs and ca. 15 Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows, is located at IRCOF Rouen (CNRS, University and INSA Rouen), France.
The post doctoral fellow will work under the supervision of Dr. Tatiana Besset (CNRS Research Associate, Contact: tatiana.besset@insa-rouen.fr). Her research focuses on the design of new C–H bond functionalization reactions and the development of new strategies for the synthesis of fluorinated building blocks.

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.

Contraintes et risques

The working conditions are those expected for an organic chemistry laboratory.
