Description du sujet de thèse

The Institut Charles Sadron- CNRS is offering a PhD position on the topic “Effect of Twisting Work in Dynamic Combinatorial Systems””

The doctoral candidates (DC, M/F) will show that that light-driven, artificial, molecular motors can be usefully implemented in well-designed supramolecular and macromolecular systems in order to drive them energetically uphill and produce an active (supra)molecular adaptation through the selection of their dynamic covalent components. In this direction, we plan to couple the out-of-equilibrium mechanical actuation of molecular motors with the chemical selection of species in hydrogels. Such approach is expected to be of high interest (i) to drive dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs) out of equilibrium using molecular motors, and (ii) to observe selection processes in dynamic systems under nanomechanical actuation.

The key tasks as a PhD student (M//F) are:
- To manage and carry out research projects
- To attend and participate in research and training activities within the MonaLisa network and local courses
- To write articles for scientific peer reviews
- To write a PhD thesis
- To teach and disseminate research in the scientific community (international conferences) and non-scientific community, by outreach and public engagement
- To be involved in departmental and group activities

Contexte de travail

The ”Monalisa: Motorized Nanomachines: Fundamentals, Innovations, Applications” project is funded by the MARIE SKLODOWSKA CURIE Action - Doctoral Network “MonaLisa”, within the Horizon Europe Programme of the European Commission. The project aims to structure a training network for doctoral students (M/F) in the field of Artificial Molecular Machines for a period of 48 months. Monalisa is a consortium of 20 partners composed of high-profile universities, research institutions and companies located in 5 European countries, and will train 15 Doctoral Candidates.

This PhD position (M/F) will be based in Strasbourg (France) at the Institut Charles Sadron, a specific unit of the CNRS recognized worldwide for its expertise in the field of polymer materials and self-assembled systems. The SAMS team, also attached to the University of Strasbourg, is interested in studying and understanding self-assembly processes to lead to the next generation of so-called “intelligent” materials. It has all the human and material resources necessary to carry out the proposed project. For more information on the host team, do not hesitate to consult the website: http://sams.ics-cnrs.unistra.fr/

The position will be located in Strasbourg, France, including international secondments to partner groups in Europe, participations in workshops or conferences abroad (Europe).
The minimum gross salary is of 3038.76 euros per month.

Position Benefits:
- CROUS catering subsidized by the CNRS.
- Easy access to campus by public transportation.
- Partial coverage of public transportation passes.

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.

Contraintes et risques

In order to be eligible, each applicant (M/F) must fulfill the following criteria:

- Nationality: Candidates (M/F) may be of any nationality.

- Mobility: At the date of recruitment, the applicant (M/F) must NOT have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies etc.) in France for more than 12 months in the last 3 years immediately prior to his/her recruitment. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not considered.

- Qualifications and research experiences: the applicant (M/F) must fulfill the requirements defined for Doctoral Candidates (DCs, M/F): DCs (M/F) are researchers who at the date of recruitment have NOT yet been awarded the doctoral degree and are in the first 4 years (full time equivalent) of his/her research career.
Full-time research experience is measured from the date when a researcher (M/F) obtained the degree which formally entitled him or her to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the researcher is recruited or seconded, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is or was ever envisaged.

We are looking for an outstanding highly motivated candidate (M/F) with a strong academic record holding a Master degree in Chemistry. An excellent theoretical background as well as experience in synthetic organic chemistry are a prerequisite. Experience in soft matter materials and/or supramolecular chemistry would be an asset.

Skills/Qualifications
• Master degree or equivalent in organic chemistry
• High proficiency in spoken and written English, minimum C1 level.
• Networking and communication skills, to be evaluated in the interview.
• Excellent communication as well as organisational skills and willing to engage an international, interdisciplinary collaborative research, workshops and secondments.
Candidates (M/F) will be integrated in an international multi-disciplinary team. The candidate (M/F) must therefore have excellent personal skills and be able to work in a team.

Pre-selection will be based on CV, experience, skills and motivation letter. Short-listed candidates (M/F) will be interviewed by an experience selection committee.

Applications should consist of the following documents:
• A complete Curriculum Vitae
• A motivation letter (1 page) addressing his/her research interests in relationship to the individual research project.
• 2 references
• University transcripts and other relevant certificates
