Missions
The work falls within the theme of the electrification of catalytic processes. It will consist of formulating high-performance catalysts for the project's two model reactions, studying their coating on conductive supports, and evaluating their catalytic performance under conventional conditions.
Activities
- Synthesis of catalytically active phases in RWGS and dry reforming of methane.
- Evaluation of the catalytic properties of powders
- Development of strategies for the enduction of these active phases on different supports
- Evaluation of the catalytic properties of beds
- Characterisation of materials
- Study of stability in operation

Work Context
The position will be based at the Institute of Chemistry and Processes for Energy, Environment, and Health (ICPEES-UMR7515), a joint research unit under the supervision of the CNRS and the University of Strasbourg within the European School of Chemistry, Polymers and Materials (ECPM) on the Cronenbourg campus in Strasbourg. The researcher (M/F) will join the “Energy and Fuels for a Sustainable Environment” team, which focuses on heterogeneous catalysis for the recovery of renewable resources for energy use. The mission is part of an ANR 2026-2029 project involving four academic partners.
Working conditions:
- Easy access to the site by public transport and bicycle
- Possibility of partial coverage of subscription costs by the CNRS
- Meals available at the CROUS (university restaurant) on the Cronenbourg campus
The position is located in a sector under the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival is authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.
