Offer Description

This position is part of a project aimed at efficiently eliminating PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from contaminated water. The responsibilities include designing and synthesizing new photoactive MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks) and developing stimuli-responsive Polymer-MOF hybrid materials.

The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for development of the novel hybrid polymer/MOF nanoparticles, working directly with two academic teams from ICPME and ESPCI/ENS. She/he will have access to the complete portfolio of instruments in the hosting group to perform various experiments. She/he will be in charge of the data analysis, interpretation and dissemination. She/he will participate in complementary experimental campaigns carried out in large-scale international facilities (neutron diffraction sources).

The Institute of Chemistry and Materials Paris-East (ICMPE) in Thiais, located in the heart of the Parisian region, is a renowned research center specialized in materials chemistry. With a strong commitment to scientific excellence, ICMPE stands out for its innovative research in the fields of polymer chemistry, advanced materials, and nanomaterials. The institute's researchers, with their recognized expertise, significantly contribute to advancing knowledge and developing innovative solutions. By fostering close collaboration among researchers and providing state-of-the-art infrastructure, ICMPE creates an environment conducive to the emergence of new discoveries and the development of cutting-edge technologies.
