Work Context
This project is a collaboration between an industrial partner and the Charles Sadron Institute (ICS, UPR22). The successful candidate will join the ICS, a CNRS unit associated with the University of Strasbourg. This multidisciplinary institute dedicated to the science of polymers and self-assembled systems comprises 55 researchers and research professors, 38 engineers, technicians, and administrative staff, and approximately 100 non-permanent staff (doctoral students, post-docs, associate researchers, and interns). Structured into seven research teams and four platforms, the ICS has UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy platforms, size exclusion chromatography, light scattering, etc., and microscopes (electron and atomic force). Located on the Cronenbourg Campus, it benefits from a CROUS university restaurant and is easily accessible by public transport (tram, bus). The successful candidate will work in the ICS's Polymer Engineering and Process Intensification (IP2) team, which is made up of six teacher-researchers and several doctoral students and engineers. The position is in a sector subject to the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST) and therefore, in accordance with regulations, requires your arrival to be authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.
