Job Description
Missions
Within a consortium of four research teams based at Aix-Marseille Université, Paris-Saclay Université, and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), the agent will be responsible for the synthesis, purification, and characterization of chiral organic molecules according to the highest international standards.
More specifically, the agent will oversee the stereospecific synthesis of atropisomers (minimum 97% ee) with isotopic chirality, featuring at least one isotopologue fragment of 9-anthracenyl. These "minimal chirality" molecules will be used by the consortium to develop high-precision spectroscopic methods for analyzing molecular chirality. For preliminary work, see: https://doi.org/10.1039/d5sc09200k.
Activity
Main tasks (the agent is responsible for):
- Organic synthesis, purification, and detailed characterization;
- Writing and presenting weekly activity reports;
- Participation in laboratory life (collective interest tasks).
Secondary tasks (the agent is co-responsible for):
- Sending and tracking samples to other project partners.
Your Profil
Skills
- Excellent command of organic synthesis techniques, purification, and multi-nuclear NMR analysis of organic molecules;
