Offer Description Within the institute, the postdoc will be part of the Organometallics: Materials and Catalysis (OMC) team, and be involved in the molecular materials for optoelectronics thematic. He/She will work under the supervision of Ludovic Favereau on the development of persistent chiral organic open-shell systems, exhibiting potentially high-spin (triplet) ground state. In addition to the synthetic aspect, the candidate will explore the experimental and theoretical optical, chiroptical and spin properties of the obtained organic radicals, and evaluate their potential in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and spintronic devices.
The postdoc will contribute to the design, synthesis and photophysical characterizations of the targeted molecules. More precisely, he/she will be in charge of elaborating the synthetic strategy to efficiently obtain the desired products as well as their complete photophysical studies using classical spectroscopies (absorption, luminescence) and electrochemical methods (cyclic voltammetry). He/She will analyze and optimize the chiral organic phosphorescent materials in function of the obtained performances for the first derivatives. He/She will be involved in the writing of reports on the advancement of the project and of scientific publications. The research engineer will also contribute to the scientific animation of the group by the supervision of master and PhD students.
The applicant must hold a PhD in organic chemistry with a strong expertise in synthesis and photophysical characterizations of pi-conjugated molecular materials. Fluency in spoken and written both English and French is a requirement to present the obtained results in project meetings and scientific conferences and to write scientific publications. He/she should be highly motivated by experimentation and should possess organizational skills as well as the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
Additional comments:
This is a 6 months contract.
Applications must include a detailed CV; at least two references (people who may be contacted); a one-page cover letter and a short summary of your PhD work (2-3 pages).
