Missions

The postdoctoral researcher (M/F) recruited will be involved in a research project supported by the Jean-Marie LEHN Foundation. He/she will be responsible for conducting the study and characterisation of peptide-based coacervates. He/she will lead several projects in parallel in this field of activity. In addition, he/she will also supervise PhD students and/or M2/M1 interns.

Activités

- Study the different parameters that control peptide coacervation processes
- Characterise liquid-liquid phase separation using various analytical tools.

Compétences

General knowledge of organic chemistry and peptide synthesis

• Operational mastery of various techniques of
chemical synthesis, characterisation of soft matter (hydrogels and liquids).

• Operational mastery of confocal and optical microscopy.

• Knowledge of the fields of application: molecular, macromolecular and supramolecular chemistry. Chemical and enzymatic catalysis.

• Good computer skills: database management, Python language, spreadsheets.

• Proficiency in written and spoken English at level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Contexte de travail

The postdoctoral researcher (M/F) will join the Charles Sadron Institute (ICS). The ICS brings together 53 researchers and teacher-researchers, 38 engineers, technicians and administrative staff, and around 100 doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, associate researchers and interns.
Located in Cronenbourg, the ICS is a 'Clean Unit' (UPR 22) of the CNRS, associated with the CNRS Institute of Chemistry (INC) and working closely with the Institute of Physics (INP) and the Institute of Engineering and Systems Sciences (INSIS). ICS is also associated with the University of Strasbourg and INSA Strasbourg, with strong links to the UFR de Physique et Ingénierie, ECPM and the Faculty of Chemistry. The Institute is also a key player in the Carnot Mica Institute and the Grand Est Materials and Nanosciences Research Federation, and is involved in numerous national and international networks.

Structured into seven research teams and four platforms.

Access to the Cronenbourg campus is facilitated by an extensive public transport network (frequent buses). The campus (green) has a university restaurant, an eco-friendly car park, beehives, a flower meadow, an orchard, communal tables and a bicycle storage room.

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.
