Job Description
Missions
We are offering an exciting post-doctoral opportunity for a highly motivated researcher to work on the study of flexibility of nanozeolites. This project will focus on the innovative use dense colloidal precursors and templating strategies to explore new pathways in flexible zeolite synthesis.
Activity
• Modification of nanosized porous materials with controlled chemical composition, framework structure, and extra-framework cations.
• Development of methodologies for the characterization and analysis of defect sites in zeolites using spectroscopic techniques, including FTIR, XPS, and Raman spectroscopy.
• Exploration of new properties arising from the structural and chemical versatility of zeolites and related porous materials.
Your Profil
Skills
-PhD in organic chemistry, materials science, or a related field.
-Experience in synthesis and structural characterization.
-Familiarity with colloidal systems, ligands, and template- synthesis techniques.
-Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively.
-Excellent communication skills in both oral and written English.
Your Work Environment
The post-doc will work within a dynamic research team, focusing on advanced synthesis of flexible zeolites and their characterization. The project is hosted by the laboratory specializing in zeolite chemistry and offers access to cutting-edge facilities.
The project will take place within the framework of the ERC Advanced Grant ERC-2021-ADG (101054004): ZEOLIghT” Dual challenges in the discovery and sustainability of nanozeolites: controlling defect sites and structural flexibility- CNRS managed by Dr. Svetlana Mintova (Director of Recherche, CNRS, LCS UMR 6506, Caen). The work will be carried out at LCS - Laboratoire Catalyse & Spectrochimie (https://www.lcs.ensicaen.fr) located in Caen (Normandy).
